Australian Black Worms (aka Tubifex worms) are a natural food that nature provides and are readily taken by aquatic creatures. They make a great high-protein treat for fish, especially fish looking for food with a lot of protein. Our worms are sold in both loose form and in cubes.
Clean Food
Because the worms are killed and boiled before they are cleaned, they go though the same cleaning and purging process as if they were going to be fed live. They are then frozen in 2.5 kg blocks and loaded into the Cuddens freeze drier.
A vacuum pump creates an airless environment by removing all the air from a chamber, then heats it from minus 20C to 50c.
Water boiled at 0 degrees Celsius in a vacuum. As frozen worms started to thaw, all moisture turned into vapour that was then refrozen on coils inside the chamber.
The process of freeze drying is a little more complicated then that, but the basis for how it works is this. The important thing about the freeze-drying process is that it removes all moisture from worms without altering their nutritional facts.
The whole process from growing, cleaning and processing to produce your final product begins at a facility in order to ensure you get top quality food grade products each time!
Disease-free
Australia has very few if any diseases that are transmitted from water to fish, and the area where these black worms live is away from farming and industrial areas.
The worm's water used to come straight out of the same supply we drink our drinking water out of up until recently.
Difference between live worms and freeze-dried worms
The only difference between the two is that live worms contain water.
Different ways to feed cubes.
To get fish to show interest in your freeze-dried worms, put one cube inside the tank halfway down. The fish will then be more inclined to eat it. When they do, try placing another closer to the surface so your pet can grab them easier!
Australian Freeze Dried Black Worms are one of the most nutritious foods for Discus, Corydoras and other fish types as well.
This has bio pigment laced through it that is designed for bringing out the red and yellow of the fish. This is a natural colour enhancer made primarily from Carrots.
They consist of 45% crude protein and is 8x more condensed then Live Black Worms
The L001 Gold Spot Pleco (Pterygoplichthys joselimaianus) is a member of the Loricariidae family of South American suckermouth catfishes. It can grow to a rather impressive size, but not so large that it will outgrow a reasonably large aquarium. Its gold spotting is very attractive and distinctive. This species is a generally peaceful fish that is extremely hardy and capable of cohabitating with most other tropical freshwater species.
What We Like About This Fish:
The L001 Gold Spot Pleco is a very peaceful and hardy addition to the large aquarium.
This is one of the more manageable "large" plecos.
This fish will not bother most plants, but it will likely help with algae control, especially as a juvenile. It will also scavenge and consume most uneaten fish food.
The L001 Gold Spot Pleco is an aquarium fish with a unique appearance as well as plenty of personalities.
Exceptional markings, especially as a juvenile
RECOMMENDED TANK PARAMETERS:
Temperature: 75° - 84° F (24° - 29° C)
pH: 6.5 - 7.5 (flexible as long as sudden changes are avoided)
KH: 6 - 10 dKH
Minimum tank size: 75+ gallons
Brazilian Pennywort is a great plant for the home aquarium. It can be kept as either rooted or floating, and it will grow up toward light with its leaves shaded underneath in order to provide cover from intruders looking for safe resting spots.
Brazilian Pennywort leaves offer a beautiful green colour to your tank. They're different from some other plants, like Water Sprite or Anacharis that may be more typical in an aquarium setting but are still worth keeping if you want something with interesting variety!
Brazilian pennywort (Hydrocallis tr subcontracta) is quite unusual among plant life for exactly this reason: its leaf shape sets it apart visually as well as anatomically--you can tell right away just by looking at them whether they come from Brazilians or not; there's nothing else remotely similar out there anywhere nearby either inside our own country borders

Colors and Markings
The gold barb has a steeply-sloped back and short barbels positioned at the corners of the mouth. A number of dark vertical bars or blotches are visible along the flanks of the fish. Well-conditioned specimens may also have red coloration on the fins.
The naturally occurring color of this barb is green, but the green P. semifasciolatus is rarely seen in the aquarium trade due to the overwhelming popularity of the gold form. Virtually all specimens currently sold are captive-bred, and a few other color variations have subsequently arisen, including an albino variant as well as a tricolor variation.
This gold form was selectively bred by Thomas Schubert in the 1960s and was at one time thought to be a distinct species, referred to as Barbus schuberti or P. semifasciolatus var. schuberti. It is now known to be the same species as the wild form.
Tankmates
Gold barbs are schooling fish and should be kept in groups of at least a half-dozen or more. The peaceful nature of this species makes them an excellent choice for community aquariums of other similarly-sized peaceful fish including tetras, danios, and other small barbs.
Gold Barb Habitat and Care
Gold barbs are quite hardy and undemanding of water conditions or habitat essentials. They originate in free-flowing streams and rivers, so use a powerhead to provide a decent current.
They should be provided with a good-sized open space for swimming, along with plants, driftwood, or other decors for use as hiding spots. Use a fine-grade substrate, preferably of a darker color to showcase the colors of the fish.
Gold Barb Diet and Feeding
In their natural habitat, this species lives on a diet of insects and their larva, as well as worms, vegetation, and even detritus. It's a prime example of an omnivore, eating just about anything available. To maintain optimal health, a varied diet is advisable.
Flake, pellet, freeze-dried and frozen foods will all be readily accepted. When possible, include live foods such as insects, brine shrimp, and worms of all types. Fresh vegetables are an excellent added supplement.
Gender Differences
Females are overall much duller in coloration and larger than the male, as well as rounder in the belly. The belly of mature males who are ready to spawn will turn red to red-orange in color.
Breeding the Gold Barb
Gold barbs are relatively easy to breed, but as with breeding most fish species, a separate breeding tank is recommended. The tank should be well-planted with fine-leafed plants such as java moss. Spawning mops can also be used. A mesh cover could be placed over the bottom of the tank to allow the eggs to fall through.
Regardless of which medium is used for spawning, make sure there are plenty of hiding spots for the female, as the male can be quite aggressive during the spawning process. Lighting should be dim, and the water should be soft at about 8 dGH, with a pH between 6 and 7. Use a sponge filter with a very gentle flow.
Spawning can be attempted with pairs or by using the group method. When spawning in a group, use a half-dozen of each sex. If spawning in pairs, maintain separate tanks of males and females. Select the plumpest female and most brightly colored male, and introduce them to the spawning tank late in the day. Prior to spawning with either method, condition the breeders for several days with live foods.
Typically, spawning occurs in the early morning around dawn. Males will begin to circle the female, nudging her in order to position her near the area he has selected for spawning. The female will release up to 300 eggs, which will then be fertilized by the male. Adults will readily eat the eggs, so as soon as the eggs have been fertilized, the adults should be removed from the tank.
The pale yellow eggs will hatch in about 48 hours, and the fry (baby fish) will be free swimming in a few days. Feed the fry on infusoria, fine fry food, and freshly hatched brine shrimp. Both the eggs and fry are rather sensitive to light, so keep the tank as dark as possible until the fry are several weeks old.
Green Syngonium, also known as Syngonium podophyllum or Arrowhead Vine, is a popular houseplant and aquatic plant in the family Araceae. It is native to tropical rainforests in Central and South America, but is widely cultivated as an indoor or outdoor plant in many parts of the world.
In aquariums, Green Syngonium is often used as a low-maintenance foreground or midground plant. It can grow both submerged or emersed, and is usually planted in the substrate or attached to hardscape such as rocks or driftwood. The plant has arrowhead-shaped leaves that are typically green with white or silver veins. When grown emersed, the plant can produce small white flowers.
Green Syngonium is an easy-to-care-for plant that tolerates a wide range of lighting and water conditions. It prefers bright, indirect light and water temperatures between 20-28°C. It can also be grown in a wide range of water hardness and pH, but does best in slightly acidic to neutral conditions. The plant does not require CO2 injection, but can benefit from regular fertilization to promote healthy growth.
Add a splash of colour to your aquarium with the Assorted Hi Fin Platy. These colourful tropical fish are a great addition to any freshwater tank, and their vibrant fins add beautiful detail and intrigue. Their peaceful nature makes them an ideal choice for any community tank.

Black Lava is of volcanic origin, featuring a porous texture, making it very lightweight and versatile. Due to its comparably low weight, it is possible to create large structures with it.
For example it is possible to design a “Green Reef”. Green Reefs are tall scapes covered in various epiphytes like ferns of the genus Microsorum or Bolbitis, Pogostemon helferi or different kinds of moss. Their roots will find a good foothold due to the porouse sctructure of the stone. Individual stones can still be moved or exchanged later on, making the layout modular.
Also a classical Iwagumi can be made from Black Lava since the very dark colours make for a good contrast to the grey color of the more commonly used kinds of stone. As an advantage Black Lava does not increase the hardness of the tank water.
Lava rock is often used in conjunction with roots. The individual stones can be covered with moss to form forest-inspired scapes.
Do you know that Black Lava is also used in different settings and not for aquarium uses as well? We have had people using this for Fijian Ground Cooking to people using it as a filtration.
Why does ot look like concrete?
High quality black lava does look like concrete at times. At there unwashed state they do have a greyish tinge that looks like concrete.
Concrete however turns to dust and pure concrete is very brittle.
A lot of our customers may initially get disappointed as our pieces do come unwashed or they are dissatisfied with that one piece.
We always advise our customers is if the pieces looks too big or they need to break it down, a chisel and a hammer will break it down nicely.
Of course if you need our assistance then simply send a message and we can assist you with your enquiry.
