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 Pearl White Medaka Ricefish is a white variety of the Japanese Medaka, or Japanese rice fish, which is one of the hardiest fish you can own! The Pearl White Medaka Ricefish (Oryzias latipes “Pearl Galaxy”), is a particular standout in the planted aquarium. This subtropical fish can freely inhabit freshwater and fully marine water. The Medaka fish typically occupies the middle and top level of the fish tank. It is safe with other peaceful, small fish. Due to its small size, it can be kept with dwarf shrimp as long as there is plenty of plants and cover, with the shrimp already established in the tank. Larger, peaceful invertebrates can also make good tankmates. The Pearl Galaxy Medaka Ricefish must be kept in schools of 6 or more to see its natural behaviour as it pays little attention to other species. As long as it has plenty of cover, this fish is an extremely outgoing species. It is very easy to breed in the aquarium. It has the ability to jump, so a secure aquarium lid is necessary. What is great about this fish Beautiful pearly white coloration and very small size Peaceful disposition with fish and peaceful invertebrates Very active and noticeable fish in any aquarium Ideal for nano and planted aquariums Extremely hardy Medaka Fish Info Ideal Tank Temperature 8° - 24° C, although it is reported to tolerate temporarily 6.7° - 40° C Ideal tank pH: 7.0 – 8.0 Average Adult Size: 4 cm Average Purchase Size: 1.3 – 2.5 cm Image and Information from https://aquaticarts.com/products/pearl-medaka-ricefish

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.

Characteristics Family Characidae Origin Southeastern Colombia, eastern Peru, western Brazil Social Peaceful Tank Level Mid-dweller Minimum Tank Size 10 gallon Diet Omnivore Breeding Egg scatterer Care Intermediate pH 7 Hardness Up to 10 dGH Temperature 68 to 79 F (20 to 26 C) Origin and Distribution Neon tetras originated from the clear water and blackwater streams and tributaries in the Orinoco and Amazon river basins in Brazil, Columbia, and Peru. These are regions of blackwaters beneath dense forest canopies that allow very little light to get through. Neon tetras live in shoals mainly in the middle water layers and feed on insects, worms and small crustaceans. Neon tetras are generally all captive-bred, with most coming from fish farms in the Far East and Eastern Europe. Several varieties of captive-bred specimens are now available. These include the long-finned neon tetra, though they are rather rare, as well as a golden strain that is basically a semi-albino variety, and a diamond neon tetra that appears sprinkled with metallic scales along the top portion of the body. One variety has the blue stripe but not the red coloration. Colors and Markings The neon tetra has a slender torpedo-shaped body that reaches no more than an inch and a half in length. What this fish lacks in size, they make up for in color. From the tip of the nose to the adipose fin, the neon tetra has a bright neon blue stripe. It is believed this bright stripe makes them more readily visible to each other in blackwater conditions. Below the blue stripe, the neon tetra sports a white-silver belly. Past the belly, a bright red stripe extends all the way to the tail. The striking red, white, and blue combination make the neon tetra one of the most popular of all aquarium fish. The fish is rivaled only by the cardinal tetra, for which they are often mistaken. The key difference between the two fish is the red stripe. In the neon tetra, it only extends from the middle of the body to the tail. In the cardinal tetra, the red stripe runs the entire length of the fish, from snout to tail. Like other colorful fish, the bright colors of the neon tetra will fade at night when they are resting, when they become alarmed or when they are ill. At the pet store, choose specimens that are actively swimming and robustly colored, as faded colors can be an indication of poor health. Tankmates Neon tetras are peaceful fish that get along well with most community fish. Always keep neon tetras in schools of a half dozen or more as they are a shoaling species that requires the presence of others of their kind. Neon tetras do well in a community tank as long as the other species are not large or aggressive. Small peaceful fish such as rasboras, small tetras, dwarf gouramis, corys, and other small catfish are good choices as companions. Avoid larger tetras, as they will eat neon tetras at the first opportunity. The rule of thumb is, if the mouth of the fish opens large enough to swallow the neon, they will do it sooner or later.

Described By: (Boulenger), 1911 😊 Description Temperament Peaceful Predator Colour Form Varied Bright Colours. Males - Coloured Bodies and Tails ♂️ Females - Brownish in colour ♀️ Lifespan Roughly 5 years Diet 🥩 Carnivores - feeds on pellets, live foods and frozen foods. Minimum Tank Size 20 Litres Tank Setup Plants - Such as Duckweed, Anubias or Java Fern with many rocks and woods. Such as Dragon Stone, Dragon Wood, Quan Woods. Compatibility Peaceful - However due to the size please be aware that it can be eaten by bigger fish. ⚠️ This is an aquarium strain - this means that the strain of fish has been farm raised by many generations. The location for which this Killifish is caught has been lost. The Fundulopanchax gardneri Killifish is native to the Cross River system in southeastern Nigeria and western Cameroon plus the Benue River drainage in central Nigeria. The Gardneri Killifish, also known as Aphyosemion gardneri is an attractive fish that adds vibrancy to the community aquarium. This species of killy lives in Africa and was named after a Dutch word for channel or ditch because its native habitat is small of water. Fundulopanchax gardneri Killifish adds vibrant colour to the community tanks with their bright blue/green bodies spotted with red spots. The male lyretail anthias are a vivid blue/green with many red spots over their body. The tips of the dorsal, anal and caudal fin have golden fringes that run along with them. Meanwhile, females are less intensely coloured with small brown spots covering their bodies instead of complex patterns like males do. This species is known for having short extensions on its tail fins which result in an effect called "lyretails." There's such variety between color varieties it can be hard to keep track! 😊 Tank Requirements Gardneri Killifish are not picky and can adapt to a variety of water conditions. These fish prefer heavily planted tanks with softer, acidic water. To start with the setup you can cover the aquarium with plants and mops. Filtering that uses air is recommended since it won’t harm eggs or fry while they grow in size. Lighting isn't necessary but if used shouldn't be harmful to the growth of filamentous algae either. 😊 Reproduction The Gardneri Killifish is not an annual species. Their eggs do not need to be removed from the water after spawning - they can simply lay their eggs within a spawning mop or java moss, which are common types of vegetation in fish tanks. The parents don't even have to eat during this time period! It's very easy for their breed and once hatched, place the fry into a small tank with a newly hatched brine shrimp as a food source. Be sure that you cover your holding tank because these babies will jump out if given half the chance! 😊 Similar Species of Killifish: Many species of Fundulopanchax gardneri and other members in the genus are found throughout Africa - amieti, arnolde, fallace, filamentosum mireabileis puerzli robertsoni rubrolabbiales sjoedstedti walkeri 😊 Are Gardneri killifish aggressive? While the Killifish is a rather peaceful fish they can become aggressive to other female Killifish as well as other fish when breeding. If you want an all-male community tank, however, keep them with unassuming and colourless fishes like plecos or loaches.

Siamese algae eaters (Crossocheilus siamensis) OVERVIEW: Siamese algae eaters (Crossocheilus siamensis) are a member of the carp family within cyprinids. This means they reside mainly in freshwater habitats with an omnivorous feeding preference for aquatic vegetation and terrestrial animals such as bugs, molluscs, annelid worms, etc., all depending on what's readily available near them to snack upon at any given time! If you're looking to clean up your tank, the Siamese algae eater is just what you need. These fish are great for beginners and veterans alike because they eat away at pesky green goop in no time! While freshwater aquariums can be a challenging task when it comes to keeping them clean, having an option like this will make those chores much easier on any pet owner whose passion lies with their aquatic pets. With so many benefits that come with owning one of these little critters, there isn't anything not worth mentioning about them! BEHAVIOR: Siamese Algae Eaters are the most social fish in your tank. They love to play with other community aquarium species, and they don't mind when you go on vacation for a week or two either! Siamese Algae Eaters can get along with just about any of their tank mates as long as they have plenty of room to swim around - which is why an aquarium at least ten gallons should be considered before adding them to your home environment. HABITAT: The Siamese algae eater is a type of fish that can be found in freshwater habitats throughout Southeast Asia. They are bottom dwellers and prefer to spend their time near plants or other hiding places on the ground where they feel comfortable and safe. In Thailand, these fascinating creatures live along riversides and flooded forests during this region's rainy season, which provides them with plenty of food sources for survival like edible plant life, insects, worms, crustaceans, including crayfish & shrimp eggs! APPEARANCE: The female Siamese algae eater has a broader midsection than the male fish. This appearance detail is interesting because it creates more of an aesthetic difference between males and females, which can be seen as beneficial for mating or breeding in captivity. Another interesting trait about these creatures is that they do not have what's commonly called "a swim bladder." If left without any motion, this fish will quickly sink to the bottom of their habitat due to its lack thereof; however, this could also offer some benefit when owning them in captivity since you would need less space with no risk of losing your pets! Side-by-side comparisons are always fun: The female Siamese algae eaters seem like bigger versions compared to males Siamese algae eaters are slender and long fish with a bold black stripe running over their entire bodies. These short, brownish-beige colour fish can be easily identified by one eye-catching strip on each side of the body with an almost clear caudal fin at the end of it all. The Siamese algae eater is most commonly found in aquariums because they do not require much food or water movement to survive but thrive best when given live plants and aquatic animals as part of their diet. SIZE: Siamese algae eaters can get a bit larger than most freshwater tropical fish species that you'll find in various tanks. These bottom-loving fish can grow up to approximately 6 inches (16 cm) and sometimes even longer when given a chance, but they prefer smaller spaces with plenty of hiding spots. Fish owners should plan for at least 30 gallons in size if considering this pet for their tank- it will give them room to swim comfortably or hide from other aggressive neighbours! Siamese Algae Eaters are rare breeds; unlike many types of freshwater animals who don't need much space, Siamese Algae Eater does best with enough swimming room and places to retreat into safety while being away from predators more. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SIAMESE ALGAE EATERS AND SIAMESE FLYING FOX FISH: When purchasing a Siamese algae eater for an aquarium, fish owners should be aware of the distinguishing features between this species and the flying fox. For example, the Siamese algae eater has fins that continue onto its back instead of being narrower at its tail end like those found on the flying fox. In addition, they have 3-4 vertical black lines running down their side while these markings are absent in other varieties such as peacock or guppy, which may confuse purchases. It can sometimes be difficult to tell if a fish you're looking at is just an ordinary Siamese Algae Eater or it's something else entirely... Like Flying Foxes! These two types of aquatic creatures look nearly identical, but there are some important differences. The flying fox has a distinctive gold band that can be seen along the top border of their black stripe, not found on true Siamese algae eaters. The telltale difference between these two species is in colouration. While both may have an orange-yellow tinge to them, only the flying fox's fins are always clear because they don't have a light golden line around its dark black one like you would find with somebody who's also got it coming off their tails and across their body as well. This animal's appearance varies solely on where it lives; those living near salt water will typically sport lighter colours than individuals from freshwater pools or ponds since they must adapt to prevalent sunlight conditions due to location differences. CARE: One of the most attractive facets of owning Siamese algae eaters is that they are not as hard to care for because you can feed them various foods. However, it's important to know what diseases these fish might be susceptible to and how best to prevent sicknesses before committing yourself completely. Before making your commitment to caring for siamese algae-eaters, do some research into which illnesses could affect this species if neglected or fed incorrectly by researching online from various sources like books on animal behaviour or other websites about aquariums in general. One word of caution is not to overpopulate the tank with too many Siamese. Even though these fish are amazing for their constant tank cleaning action when feasting on algae, it's important to remember that any fish will create body waste which can dirty up your tanks and environment. FEEDING: Feeding your fish the correct food is essential for their health and longevity. If you feed them something that doesn't match what they're used to, it may disrupt their digestive system or interfere with their growth process. For example, a Siamese algae eater eats everything in sight - dead insects, plant matter like seaweed (if available), even other fish! Like most species of aquarium owners know already, feeding each one correctly keeps them happy and healthy as long as possible. Fish are usually picky about who's giving out the grub but Siamese algae eaters can take pretty much anything thrown at 'em because they're omnivores: They'll scavenge any dead insect bits laying around on land or water just waiting. TANK SIZE: Generally, plan to go with a minimum tank size of 25-30 gallons. This will allow them to be active and explore while also having places to hide. Keep the water pH at 6.5-7 which replicates the slightly acidic conditions these fish encounter in their normal dwelling place in wild streams and rivers that have lower current action when you're keeping Siamese tropical freshwater fish like this one for your aquarium or pond setting set for best results between (25 °C – 26 ° C). The ideal hardness is 5-20 dH so as not to damage its delicate fins too much against rocks or other hard surfaces it might bump into during an exploratory swim around exploring new waters. TANKMATES: When you want to find a fish that can work well with your Siamese algae eater: Take the time to research what other bottom-dwellers are compatible. Be careful when selecting which ones go together as not all of them will get along peacefully. Avoid Cichlids and red-tailed sharks because they can be more aggressive than others! BREEDING: Siamese algae eaters are notoriously difficult to breed in a regular aquarium setting. Unfortunately, fish experts don't know as much about successfully breeding this species when not at an established fish farm. As a result, most owners end up relying on the farms to expand their numbers of Siamese algae eaters.

The Cardinal Tetra is a popular freshwater fish that many people enjoy keeping in their home aquariums. Cardinal tetras will quickly become one of the favourite fish in your aquarium. These tiny, schooling fish are hardy and playful—so much so that they can outsmart even seasoned aquarists! Cardinal tetra is a friendly fish that shares space generously with its tank mate. While they can be hard to breed in captivity, these brightly coloured fish stay active and are available in multiples colours of red, yellow, and orange. Habitat The cardinal tetra is most commonly seen in slow-moving, shallow water. They mainly eat small animals on plants roots and leaf litter but have been known to take live prey as well. The Cardinal Tetra (Paracheirodon axelrodi) is a fish that has been around for centuries. Originating from the rivers in South America, specifically the upper Orinoco and to the Rio Negro River. These little guys are fascinating because they usually only live about 2-3 years due to their small size but have still managed to thrive since then. Colour A Cardinal tetra is not only beautiful, but it's an excellent fish for almost any aquarium. Consider these benefits; they're small and sturdy enough that they can live in a 20-litre tank. They are tolerant of water quality fluctuations and the temperatures found in your home or office environment. Plus, they grow up to just 5cm long, so their accommodations will be easy as pie! And while we know you'll want to buy this beauty some friends once he gets settled in his new digs, don't worry about other types of fish bothering him—he'd rather eat plants than other aquatic life forms! Potential Tank mates for Cardinal Tetras Cardinal tetras are one of the most popular fish species. They should always be kept in large schools and prefer to swim around with others, even if they're not their kind! If you want your tank to have the perfect balance between lively company and a serene environment for some time alone, then these guys will become part of it. Potential tank mates that may be suitable other than tetras are Danios, Rasbora, and Dwarf Gouramis. If the companion fish has a big mouth enough to swallow the cardinal tetra, it is not a suitable tank mate. Cardinal Tetra Care There are a lot of reasons to purchase a larger aquarium. One of the most important is that Cardinal Tetras live better in bigger tanks! These fish can be seen living happily and healthily in tanks with 20 litres, but we always recommend going as big as you possibly can if you wish to enjoy the fish schooling to full effect. Cardinal Tetras are delicate and need mature tanks with soft acidic water to thrive. They can't survive in a tank that's only been set up for an hour, so use caution if you're new! Luckily they love having stable conditions because it lets them live longer lives without getting sick as often. The best pH is below 6, while the hardness should stay below 4 dGH (decigrams per litre) since high levels of minerals make their health deteriorate quickly. Finally, this species loves warmer temperatures but does well from 23°C to 27 °C. We recommend having Floating Plants on their tanks; not only do they moderate the light, but floating aquatic plants also help with CO2 and oxygen levels in the water. Diet and Feeding Cardinal Tetra will eat most foods, but be sure to feed them 75% of high-quality flake food, so they stay healthy! Make sure to provide live foods or frozen snacks for your little guys, including brine shrimp and bloodworms that are high in protein. If you're going to feed them all day, try offering three minutes' worth of food every feeding--their little mouths can't handle large pieces very well. Gender Identification Males and females show few apparent differences between the sexes, with female cardinal tetras having a deeper body than males with an almost round belly. The hook protruding from the male's anal fin tells other prospective mates they are mature enough to breed! Breeding Cardinal Tetras Breeding cardinal tetras is a difficult task. But if you are persistent, success will be within your grasp! The female cardinal tetra produces eggs when she feels the need to reproduce - typically during evenings and late nights from 130-500 eggs. A separate breeding tank with stable water conditions, a pH of 5.0 to 6.0, and very soft water 3-5 dGH or below is essential for success. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What is the Difference between Neon Tetra and Cardinal Tetra? The most obvious difference between the Cardinal and Neon Tetras is their coloration. While both are beautiful in their own right, it's hard to ignore that for Neons, only half of its body sports a vibrant red stripe while Cardinals have an equally colourful anal fin and gills as well as whole-body stripes. The main differences between these two fish types come down primarily to colouring: one has less than dazzling colours on about 50% of his body (Neon), where the other will stun you with brilliant blues, greens, yellows--even oranges! Of course, some structural distinctions like fins, but we are all more interested in how they look when swimming around our tanks anyway. Can a tetra live without a filter and heater? A tetra can live without a filter yes, a heater not so much. Below 24 degree's C your tetra will not be happy campers, however a regular water change can suffice in lieu of a filter.

QUICK OVERVIEW: Category Rating Care Level: Moderate Temperament: Peaceful Color Form: Silver body, red nose, black/white striped caudal fin Lifespan: 6-8 years Size: 2-2.5 inches Diet: Omnivore Family: Characidae Minimum Tank Size: 20 gallons Tank Set-Up: Planted freshwater tank with open swimming space Compatibility: Peaceful community aquariums The Platinum Rummynose Tetra is a freshwater fish from the Characidae family native to South America. Three very similar species of fish are known as the rummy nose tetra: Hemigrammus rhodostomus (the true rummy nose tetra) Hemigrammus bleheri (also known as the brilliant rummy nose tetra or the common rummy nose tetra) Petitella georgiae (the false rummy nose tetra). The three species are native to South America, living in the Amazon River. Each species occupies a different region of the river. Shoaling fish are popular with beginners, but these are not the easiest to care for. These fish can be quite sensitive to water parameter changes, so you need to be vigilant. They don’t handle mistakes well. A group of rummy nose tetras works well in a community tank. This species is peaceful and gets along well with many other types of fish, but it won’t do well if kept with boisterous fish that cause it stress. They can live for 6-8 years in captivity if kept in a healthy environment. Typical Behavior These fish naturally gather in large groups, creating some impressive displays. The colors of the fish are more striking and their behaviors more impressive when they swim together. Platinum Rummynose Tetras tend to swim in the middle levels of the water, but they might stray up or down in order to feed. You might see them hiding among plants if they get stressed by bright lights or pestering fish. Platinum Rummynose Tetra Tank Mates You can keep Platinum Rummynose Tetras in groups of 6 or more. The schooling fish coordinate their movements and put on a nice little display. Other fish can be kept in the same tank with the Rummy Nose Tetra. The only things you need to worry about are keeping aggressive or large fish out of the tank. While a Platinum Rummynose Tetra will not bother other fish, its distinct markings make it a target for other bully fish. Here are some fish that make great tank mates for the Rummy Nose Tetra: Green Neon Tetra Pearl Gourami Corydoras Catfish Hatchetfish Yo-Yo Loach Cherry Barb Dwarf Gourami Harlequin Rasbora Appearance The Platinum Rummynose Tetra is popular because of its interesting colors and patterns across its body. The body of this fish is mostly silver with a deep red head giving it its name, while the caudal fin stands out just as much as the head with a zebra-like design of black and white horizontal stripes. The body is a torpedo shape with short, clear fins (except the caudal fin). When fully grown, this fish should reach 2.5 inches long. Food and Diet It’s easy to feed Platinum Rummynose Tetras. They are omnivores and thrive well on plant-based materials and protein. Generally, the fish will eat small bits of plant debris or algae. But you need to supplement those snacks with a regular balanced diet. Fish flakes and pellets work just fine. They should contain everything your Rummy Nose Tetra needs to stay healthy. Giving your fish a treat every once in a while is a nice way to keep them contented. Live or frozen foods such as daphnia, bloodworms and brine shrimp are favorites among most fish, and they provide protein too. Feed your fish two small meals a day, but don’t overfeed them: you don’t want excess food polluting the water chemistry. Watch how much food your fish are eating so you can adjust the amount accordingly. Breeding Platinum Rummynose Tetras are not difficult to breed; you simply must create optimal conditions in your tank to trigger spawning. The first step is ensuring that you have both males and females in the tank. Since it’s difficult to sex the fish, try purchasing multiple specimens and watching them for signs of courtship behavior. The temperature should be raised to 29 degrees Celcius, which mimics the warmer breeding season in the wild. If successful, the female will swim to a leaf and turn over so that the male can fertilize the eggs. She’ll then lay large eggs onto the leaf. At this point, remove all of the adult Rummy Nose Tetras; they are notorious for feeding on eggs and should be separated from breeding tanks. After about 24 hours, the eggs will hatch. The tiny fish fry will survive off of their egg sacs for up to 2 days. Then, they’ll be able to swim around the tank a bit. Provide them with some food that fry can eat. This includes specialized powder solutions, infusoria, or brine shrimp.
