Super Red Kyubi Feathertail Male Betta
The Kyubi Strain is a new strain of Bettas developed by the Indonesians. It comprises the halfmoon gene and the extreme webbing to make it look like feathers. Specimens such as these are still rare in the hobby and we believe these are a great addition to any Betta Connisaur. Stock is extremely limited and you will be getting personal videos of the one you can choose. Buy with confidence! Are these Betta tails cut? No fortunately they are not. Cutting or grooming for competition was the norm in Indonesia and Thailand around 10 years ago and they are frowned upon by the betta community both nationally and internationally now. These fish has been selectively bred from Rosetails and Feathertails Do you crop your photos? Yes we sure do. Do you have proof that these are natural? Yes we sure do. The above are videos of 4 week old fish The fish we import are 12 weeks old I am still not convinced. Do I get a guarantee? Yes you do we are going to hold sales of these until end of July 2024. If they do indeed grow back we will advise accordingly. If they don't we will also announce it as well In 24th June 2024 I have placed all sales of this strain on hold to understand if the fins regrow.. or not.

SUPER SUPER RARE: Corydoras Hastatus ALBINO
Corydoras Hastatus is one of 3 nano Corydoras species with the most common being Pygmaeus and Habrosus. Corydoras Hastatus is now considered to one of the rarest and hardest to breed of the 3 species with their breeding patterns unlike any of the other 2 species. The Corydoras Hastatus that we are exclusively and privileged to get are bred here in Australia and they are strong. Unfortunately though they are a very hard species to breed and the demand of them will be high it is not a species that we can get in often. In any given year we can get around 30 pieces max. This is a great species best kept in nano tanks and with a minimum group of 3. Temperature: 20 – 26 °C pH: 6.0 – 7.5 Hardness: 36 – 215 ppm In other words. Easy to take care of.

Synogium various colours
Syngonium is a genus of tropical and subtropical plants that are popular in the aquarium hobby. The most commonly used species in aquariums is Syngonium podophyllum, which is also known as the Arrowhead plant. In an aquarium, Syngonium plants are typically used for their aesthetic appeal and their ability to absorb excess nutrients from the water, which can help to improve water quality. Syngonium plants are a type of epiphytic plant, which means that they can grow without being rooted in soil. Instead, they can attach themselves to rocks, driftwood, or other decorations in the aquarium. Syngonium plants have heart-shaped leaves that can vary in color, from green to variegated shades of green and white. One of the benefits of using Syngonium plants in an aquarium is their ability to absorb excess nutrients from the water. This can help to reduce the levels of nitrates and phosphates, which can be harmful to fish and other aquatic inhabitants if they are present in high levels. Additionally, Syngonium plants can help to improve water clarity by absorbing particulate matter from the water. Syngonium plants are also popular in aquascaping because of their aesthetic appeal. They can be used to create a natural-looking environment in the aquarium and can add a pop of color to an otherwise dull aquascape. Syngonium plants can be used as a foreground or midground plant, and can be grown both emersed (with their leaves above the water) and submersed (with their leaves below the water). In terms of care, Syngonium plants are relatively easy to grow and require moderate lighting and regular fertilization. They can be propagated by taking stem cuttings and rooting them in the substrate or by attaching them to decorations in the aquarium. Overall, Syngonium plants are a versatile and attractive addition to any aquarium, and can provide both aesthetic and functional benefits.

Threadfin Rainbowfish Iriatherina werneri 4-5cm
Threadfin Rainbowfish Iriatherina werneriGeneral information: The threadfin rainbowfish is a small unusual fish with a long thin body and a very small mouth. The males are easily recognised by long feathery fins when mature and grow to an approximate total length of 6 cm. Females are smaller and grow to approximately 4cm total length. The Gulbuwangay River form has nice colouration, black fins with some yellow at the base of the second dorsal fin and anal fin with the first dorsal fin black containing a reasonable proportion of red. The body is silvery brown sometimes with several darker vertical bands. Broosdstock were collected in a billabong adjacent the village of Mirrngatja. The threadfin rainbowfish were close to this vegetation and seen in schools, some of which were quite long, to three meters containing many fish. The water quality from the collection site was measured each time the area was visited. Collections were made during the dry season. The dry season coincides with southern winter. Daytime temperatures are similar to the wet season but the humidity levels are lower and night time temperatures are about ten deg C lower. The water was quite warm at 30 deg C. The pH average was 6.1. These measurements would be quite different in the wet season but not what you might expect. Temperature of the water may be lower, the pH higher and hardness/alkalinity levels lower. The natural diet of this fish is not known but it is believed to be mainly a carnivore eating small crustaceans and aquatic insects. It has not been observed eating algae or other plant material like other rainbows. No spawning behaviour had been observed in wild fish during the collections. The use of this small fish as an aquaculture species has been done with an arrangement between Aquagreen and Traditional Owner of the area. It is a project that falls under the banner of Sustainable use of a natural resource as a conservation tool, where some monies from the sale of cultured specimens is returned to the land owners to assist with land management practises.Cultivation notes : The adults are a schooling species so aquarium size is best 60cm or larger to house as many as possible but it is recommended a minimum of six. A magnificent set up for these fish is a large school of 80 to a 100 in a well planted 183cm x 61cm x 61cm (6 x 2 x 2 feet) aquarium. The aquarium is best set up with plenty of open swimming area and a tall background plants to the surface and either very short groundcover plant or plain gravel. The water these fish are produced at Aquagreen is usually about 27 to 30 deg C, pH about 6.5 to 7.0, carbonate hardness approx 60ppm, hardness approx 50ppm. These fish are cultured in ponds using natural plankton supplemented with commercial foods. They will take small portions of prepared foods but are best fed with live foods at least twice a week, more if possible. These fish will spawn readily in the aquarium, they are egg scatters and have small eggs that stick to the aquatic vegetation. They take several days to hatch and are quite small, they can be raised with commercial fry starter foods and plankton culture. These are a small delicate species that does not fare well with too much competition. They are best kept with smaller peaceful species such as blue-eyes.Distribution : Recorded from several places in North Queensland, Central Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory and in Southern New Guinea.Selling details : Sold individually at 2.5 centimetres total length.Reference: Allen G.R., Midgley S.H. and Allen M.

Three Spot Gourami Trichogaster Trichopterus
Trichogaster trichopterus (Pallas, 1777)COMMON NAME: Blue gourami, three-spot gourami.SYNONYMS: Labrus trichopterus Pallas, 1777; Trichogaster trichopterus Bloch and Schneider, 1801; Trichopodas trichopterus Lacépède, 1801; Trichopus trichopterus Cuvier and Valenciennes 1831; Trichopus sepat Bleeker, 1845; Osphromenus siamensis Günther, 1861; Trichopus siamensis Sauvage, 1881; Osphronemus saigonensis Borodin, 1930.The numerous synonyms can be explained in part by the fact that many local forms deviating somewhat from each other were originally described as speciesLENGTH: 5 in. (12 cm)FIN RAY COUNT: D, VII-IX/8-10; A, X-XII/33-38.DISTRIBUTION: The species is very common throughout Indochina and the Malayan area (see map). Occurrences in the marginal areas of its distribution came about by releases. This species is quite variable over its large geographical range, and there are a large number of local forms. A detailed taxonomic study of these local forms has not yet been undertaken. Up to now only a mottled blue form from Sumatra has been described as a subspecies. This fish occurs in almost all types of waters but is very common in overgrown river banks, canals, ponds, and lakes in which there is an abundance of vegetation. It also lives periodically in flooded rice paddies and is even temporarily found in brackish water.DESCRIPTION: Typical coloration consists of two dark spots, one of which is in the centre of the side, and the other is located on the caudal peduncle. The common name, three-spot gourami, is derived from these the spots plus the dark eye, which is considered the third "spot." The basic colour and the markings can be quite different, depending on the place of origin of the specimens. Some individuals have a beautifully marbled pattern on a bluish grey or greenish grey background. Others are monochromatically bluish grey, but there's also a strain that has a more brownish background.The dorsal fin in the male is considerably longer and more pointed than that of the female. The anal fin is bigger on the male and marked on the outer edge by rows of iridescent orange or yellow dotsMAINTENANCE AND BREEDING: Of all the forms of this genus, this one seems to be the hardiest. It can tolerate slightly lower temperatures than the others the other Trichogaster species. While it usually breeds in a manner typical for the genus, it has been known to breed using only a scant scattering of bubbles that barely resemble a nest at all.Labyrinth Fish Pinter (1984) p86Image from http://animal-world.com/encyclo/fresh/anabantoids/bluegourami.php

Tiger Barbs Puntigrus tetrazona 2-4cm
Appearance Tiger Barbs have an iconic look that even novice fish-keepers will instantly recognize. The body of the fish is quite wide. It’s tallest at the middle point and tapers down to a triangular-shaped snout. These fish are also quite colorful and have a very distinct pattern. The base color of Tiger Barbs is usually golden yellow. Some also have subtle rose gold tint. On top of that base color are several stripes. Care Tiger Barb care isn’t too difficult and can be handled by aquarists without much experience (assuming you stick to the recommendations in this guide). Otherwise, they wouldn’t be as widespread as they are! In general, these fish are relatively hardy and can adapt to simple setups as long as you cover the basics. That said, there are some aspects of their care that’ll require a bit of special attention. Despite their small size and beautiful looks, their strong personalities can be a handful! Here are the main care recommendations you need to know. Tank Size The minimum tank size for a small group of Tiger Barbs should be at least 20 gallons. However, we recommend going with a 30-gallon tank if you can. As we mentioned earlier, these fish are avid swimmers. The more room they have, the better. Plus, ample room to swim may help stave off aggressive behavior. Water Parameters In the wild, you can find Tiger Barbs inhabiting lakes, streams, and swamps that are lined with trees. Thanks to the decaying plant matter in the water, conditions tend to be more acidic. For the best results, you need to mimic their natural environment as closely as possible. That includes getting the water conditions just right. Luckily, the Tiger Barb can tolerate a generous range of conditions. As long as you stick within the following ranges, your fish should have no problem staying healthy. Water temperature: 68°F to 82°F degrees (aim for around 74°F if possible) pH levels: 6.0 to 8.0 (a slightly acidic 6.5 is best) Water hardness: 4 to 10 dKH To ensure that the aquarium has the proper water parameters you should invest in a reliable and accurate test kit. This will help you have confidence in the readings you’re getting, allowing you to make the right adjustments when necessary.

Tiger Bichir
Bichirs are fish from the Polypteridae family, and they're a sister group of ray-finned fishes. They have developed similar characteristics like two functional lungs, as well as Ampullae of Lorenzini - organs that can sense electricity or electroreceptors. It is worth noting that there are about 12 species in this genus recognized as Bichirs all living in freshwater systems found only in Africa's tropics. These large and aggressive animals need tanks with sufficient space to accommodate them; it is recommended for inexperienced aquarists because they require special attention due to their carnivorous diet and tank conditions (elements which may not be easy to fulfill). The specimens you encounter available on the market are caught mostly by fishing boats instead of being commercial bred (not many breeders exist yet).

Tiger Oscar 5-7cm
Oscars come from Brazil, Columbia, Ecuador, French Guiana and Peru. They can be found along the Amazon River and its surrounding areas, which is one of the most bio diverse environments in the world. This is a species full of personality. A few different varieties have been bred which offer some different colours and patterns. Oscars are territorial, so adding them to your tank can be risky. They aren’t afraid to attack other fish and will do so if a fish encroaches on their territory. Mating and feeding times can also fuel their aggression. Most of their time will be spent swimming in the mid-levels of the tank, though they’ll often head down to the substrate in search of food. You might see them uproot plants and decorations during this search, so everything in the aquarium should be secured down. The good news is that if the tank is setup correctly and you choose the right tank mates, their aggression can be controlled. Most Oscar varieties grow to be large, reaching up to 30cm. They reach this size quite quickly in their lifetime. Oscars can be kept together, and this is usually the safest option. Their need for territory can cause them to attack tank mates. Make sure they have lots of space as this reduces territory disputes. Whilst it can be difficult to find suitable tank mates for Oscars, providing a healthy diet is not. They’re omnivores and will eat pretty much anything you give them. In the wild, they would eat small fish, larvae and small pieces of plant debris. Small insects and crustaceans would make up the largest part of their diet. In an aquarium, the simplest option is to use flake/pellet foods. These have been designed to contain all the nutrition your fish need, you can even buy some specifically for cichlids. Other options include live/frozen foods (which are full of protein). These include bloodworms, brine shrimp and daphnia. Live foods encourage Oscars to catch their food which brings out their natural hunting instincts. Though they might nibble at plants, this won’t be a large part of their diet if you’re feeding them enough of other foods. Oscars require more care than most other species. Their size and large appetite means that they produce a lot of mess. This makes regular cleaning very important, or conditions will deteriorate quickly. Perform 20-25% water changes at least once a week, ideally twice. These cichlids are hardier than most fish, so they don’t get sick often, but they can get ill like all species. Species – Astronotus ocellatus Common Name – Albino Red Tiger Oscar Cichlid Origin – South America; Brazil, Columbia, Ecuador, French Guiana and Peru. Diet – Omnivore PH Range – Prefer Neutral but can be 6.5 – 7.5 Temperature – Tropical 26–28°c Breed Type – Egg layer Current Size – approximately 5cm (Grows to approximately 30cm) Sex – Un-sexed

Tissue Culture - Echinodorus Grisebachii
SMALL 1909 Common Names: Amazon swordDivision: MagnoliophytaClass: LiliopsidaOrder: AlismatalesFamily: AlismataceaeNative Distribution: Central and South AmericaAquarium Placement: BackgroundRequirements: Adaptable to a wide range of conditions Description:The Amazon sword has been widely used in the aquarium hobby for decades. Until recently, “Amazon sword” was the common name for a few larger Echinodorus species found in or near the Amazon River Basin, specifically E. amazonicus and E. bleherae. However, based on DNA testing done in 2008, those former species are now considered to be synonymous with E. grisebachii. For more data on that, refer to Kew Bulletin Vol. 63: 525–563 (2008). Amazon sword species can vary greatly in appearance and the conditions in which they grow. They can tolerate soft or hard water in a wide range of pH values, and temperature is not overly important, as long as it is kept in a reasonable tropical range. While the two most common Amazon swords have been grouped into a single species, there is still some difference in the conditions tolerated by them and their growth. The former E. amazonicus, for example, prefers softer water and reaches a shorter height of 16 to 20 inches. The variety formerly called E. bleherae, on the other hand, will tolerate hard water and can reach over 20 inches in height and girth. Amazon swords of all kinds prefer a deep substrate of at least 4 inches to accommodate a massive root system. However, this is only needed when the plants will be grown with moderate to high light and supplemented with nutrients. In a low-light tank, the plant will grow very slow and not fully develop such a large root system, although it will still benefit from a supplemental root fertiliser. Use in Aquascaping: Echinodorus grisebachii is best suited to the background of very large aquaria. However, many hobbyists use it as a focal point in the mid ground of the aquascapes. Its large leaves provide good contrast to smaller-leaved plants, which would include the majority of aquatic species. The leaves have a rich green colour and can often exhibit some red/bronze coloration in newly emerging leaves. In some fish-dominated aquaria, where a group of swords may be the only significant plants, Amazon swords have been known to be the preferred breeding spot for certain egg-laying cichlids such as angelfish. The large and wide leaves can provide shelter and even territory for many fish. Perhaps a less publicised use for this plant, yet just as important, is for hiding unsightly aquarium equipment in the aquascapes. Heaters, filter intakes, cords hanging over the edge of the tank, thermometers, etc., can all be effectively concealed by the large and densely leaved sword plant. Propagation: Amazon swords can be propagated by splitting a large plant into smaller plants by removing it from the substrate and carefully cutting the crown. They also send up submersed stalks, upon which several plantlets will form. These plantlets can be removed after they begin to form roots. If the stalk is left attached to the mother plant, it can produce many baby swords over a long period of time. With high lighting or very humid outdoor conditions, these swords can also be flowered and pollinated with a cotton swab or soft brush. Once the seed matures, it can be harvested and sown to produce new emergent plants Reference: http://www.tfhmagazine.com/details/plant-of-the-month/echinodorus-grisebachii.htm

Dwarf Baby Tears Plant (Hemianthus Callitrichoides Cuba) is rather challenging to keep, but a very good looking aquarium plant. This ground-covering is one of the smallest plants available and one of most wanted by aquarists. The low profile makes them perfect for front planks on nano tanks; they're also great as accents in other more sizable setups! Origin: In the summer of 1996 at Tropica's headquarters in Las Pozas, Holger Windelov noticed a small plant that had been growing near his office for some time. After investigating further he discovered it was one of two new species called Hemianthus callitrichoides. Being surrounded by large stones and a water level of about 50 cm high made this discovery quite an adventure! In response to the wet and humid conditions, Hemianthus Callitrichoides Cuba forms thick green glades which provide a sense of security in this otherwise dangerous habitat. The water flow is strong during rain seasons but these plants are resistant to it up until they reach 1 meter deep into their environment. Since 2003, this plant has been a favourite among hobbyists who want to create naturalistic aquascapes that appeal to their inner fish. Specification: The Hemianthus callitrichoides are miniature copies of that of the more common hemiantus micranthemioe. They form small glades about 3-6 cm high, differing from their counterpart in smaller leaves and shorter stems. Difficulties in keeping The Hemianthus callitrichoides «Cuba» plant is challenging to keep, but if you are willing to put in the time and effort it will be worth your while. The high demand for minerals makes them a bad choice for beginner aquarists because they have a hard time keeping up with such an extensive list of needs. These plants require small-grained substrate as well as strong lighting from artificial CO2 supply that must also include fertilization during its growth cycle. In order to ensure that your dwarf baby tears plants are not crowded out by the neighbouring fast-growing plant, it is important for you to trim and thin them regularly. Care The plant, which is tolerant to the condition of little or no light and can still grow successfully in these conditions, will instead elongate at such a lack. If there's never any sun whatsoever then it won't even develop anymore until you have bright lighting again--even if that means having some extra lamps on for now! The stronger your lights are, the thicker their carpet becomes; with stems tightly wrapped around each other when they're under strong illumination. This plant has its own requirements as far as fertilization goes: especially ferrum content in water needs to be considered because without enough fertilizer leaves become pale and small due to high demand by this particular species. That’s why iron-containing liquid fertilizers should always be used precisely Dwarf baby tears plants are remarkable for their ability to quickly restore colour after being submerged in water. This makes it an excellent indicator of the iron content within a tank's surface, as well! With optimal conditions such as CO2 supply and an ideal temperature between 20-28°C, this plant can be grown without much difficulty--though if you don't have these luxuries then just adding them into your aquarium is enough to enjoy them at its full potential FAQ Can Hemianthus Callitrichoides Cuba live without CO2? CO2 is paramount to HCC success - even though this plant-primarily thrives on elevated carbon dioxide levels, these few sensitive ones also serve as excellent living indicators by changing their growth pattern depending on what kind of care they need: more sparsely spaced leaves growing higher up from the ground

Tissue Culture - Micranthemum umbrosum 'Takashi Carpet'
Micranthemum umbrosum is native to most southeastern US states, from Texas to Florida and Virginia, where it grows in ponds, ditches and rivulets, in many areas it is emersed in summer and submersed in winter. It is also found in parts of Central and South America. The Shade mudflower may be known in the hobby for quite some time, but has gained popularity recently since aquaria that meet this plant's requirements have become more common. Sometimes M. umbrosum has difficulties adapting to a new environment, but once acclimated it is not a very demanding plant, apart from its hunger for light. A relatively strong lighting of at least 0.5 W/L is required for good growth. A lack of light results in the plant throwing off its lower leaves, or in holey leaves. At the same time, the stems become brittle and tends to break, so small pieces of the plant drift to the surface where light is more intensive. This plant may be cultivated without additional CO2 injection, however, its growth rate decreases significantly, and the leaves grow smaller. If the basic requirements of M. umbrosum are met, it is really easy to propagate. Just cut off a main shoot somewhere on the stem and re-plant it in the substrate, it will grow new roots very quickly and form a stand-alone plant after a very short time. M. umbrosum tends to throw a large number of new lateral shoots, which develop in the leaf axils some centimetres below the top of a main shoot. If you cut back the plant you can further this development even more, and by frequent trimming you can create rather dense plant mats. Emersed cultivation can further the growth rate even more, however, very moist air and a wet substrate are necessary for that. If these requirements are met, the plant grows quite profusely, and in its leaf axils, tiny white flowers develop, which look a lot like those of Hemianthus species. M. umbrosum is usually planted in the middle- or background of an aquascape. Extremely strong lighting may induce it to grow rather flattish and creeping, then it can also be used in the foreground of the aquarium.
