What to expect?
When you get one of these exquisite bettas you can expect that the tails will be perfect and that all the fins should be present. There should be no deformities on the body or on the fins.
The sailfin molly (Poecilia latipinna) is a species of fish of the genus Poecilia. They inhabit fresh, brackish, salt, and coastal waters from North Carolina to Texas and the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico.
The body of the sailfin molly is essentially oblong. The head is small and dorsally flattened, with a small, upturned mouth. The caudal peduncle is broad and the caudal fin is large, rounded, and sometimes tipped with black. The pelvic fins originate at a point anterior to the dorsal fin. In mature males, the dorsal fin is greatly enlarged (it is this feature that gives the species its common name) and the caudal fin is similarly colourful; these conspicuous secondary sexual features play a role in female mate choices. Females tend to be larger and more plainly coloured, a different characteristic to the Poeciliidae.
The body is generally light grey, although breeding males may be greenish-blue. Several rows of spots occur along the sides, back, and dorsal fin. Often, these spots blend together, forming stripes. Aquarists have developed many colour variations in this species (variation occurs naturally in the wild), with melanistic, leucistic, albino, and speckled forms known.

Live Black worms are harvested fresh in Victoria
These worms have a high protein 46% to fat 20% ratio and are the ideal food for breeding fish or the increased mass of young.
However please make sure that you feed your fish sparingly Live Black worms as fish can get constipated and this will cause dropsy or bloat on the fish.

LIVE BLACK WORMS
What are Black Worms?
Live Black Worms is a species called Lumbriculus variegatus and come from very cool climates in shallow-water marshes, ponds, and swamps, feeding on microorganisms and organic material.
Where are Black Worms from?
Live Black Worms originated from North America and Europe. However, we get our worms fresh from Victoria.
How often do you have Live Black Worms?
We get our worms usually on a Tuesday or Wednesday of the week. We usually get around 1-2kg of Live Black Worms. This is why when you purchase our worms they are always fresh
What do you mean by 30mL or 1L? Does that include water?
When we write 30mL or 1L that is the volume of worms you get. We send our worms with as little water in the bag as possible. The reason why we don’t send it with water is that the water gets dirty very quickly with Ammonia.
Where do black worms live?
These are harvested from clean water that gets its water from the Victorian Alps
Vineyards and other crop-thirsty plants also are grown in the area.
How do you keep black worms alive?
Black worms need fast-moving water to keep them alive. We recommend that you use a sponge filter for smaller amounts. Larger amounts would require you to use a sump filter.
Can you breed black worms?
Black worms can breed readily in an aquarium setting. They breed in two ways.
The first is asexual where they rub off hard surfaces and ‘break off.’ When they do, the head will grow a tail and the tail a head. The other way they breed is via eggs. However, we have discovered that egg produced by black worms is quite minimal.
It should be considered that if you wish to produce live black worms economically you do need readily available water and high-protein food. But ultimately growing black worms is uneconomical for a home hobbyist and we encourage you to consider (to save time) getting it from Nano Tanks.
Are black worms harmful to humans?
Black worms are not harmful to humans if you touch them. However, if you suffer from dermatitis or other skin conditions it is known that black worms will cause a reaction to your skin. To avoid such contact we advise that you use gloves for this very purpose.
Naturally, there are bacteria and other worms, leaf leaches and etc that come with the worms. These are grown naturally with the worms and should not harm humans. As a rule, however, it is advisable that you wash your hands thoroughly with a properly antibacterial agent.
How do you send your black worms?
When we send these worms, they need to be kept cold with ice. Please be aware of your ambient temperature and that the heat will kill them.
We only will send this via Toll Priority/ Australia Post Express Post Service please make sure you select the Live Fish Shipping option

What is a Marimo moss ball
Marimo is a type of moss ball that mainly grows in the northern hemisphere. Marimo is its Japanese name; it’s also is known as a Cladophora ball.
Like most underwater plants, it photosynthesises, it takes in carbon dioxide and releases oxygen as well as consuming nitrates. The moss balls are nearly indestructible – no amount of nudging from your curious fishes will bring these down!
Despite their name, they are in fact not related to moss at all; they are more closely related to algae. The name “Marimo” was coined by the Japanese botanist Takiya Kawakami, a combination of “Mari”, meaning bouncy play ball, and “Mo”, a general term for water plants.
The benefits of a marimo ball
The Marimo moss ball brings with it a variety of benefits to your aquarium:
1. Aesthetics: First of all, the marimo moss balls look great! Looking right at home with other plants in a home aquarium, and provide a very clean yet natural feel to their environment.
Even on their own, moss balls are a nice addition to any themed tank. Our beta fish have always approved the introduction of a moss ball to their home!
2. Reducing Nitrates: Nitrates are produced by fish during the course of their life. The level is usually harmless to them, but this is why it is important to do regular water changes.
However, having a Marimo moss ball in the tank can help reduce the number of nitrates at all times. They feed on these nitrates to survive and grow.
3. Phosphates and particulates: The Moss balls not only provide an active defence against nitrate levels but also a passive one. Their spongy texture allows them to act as a filter, removing phosphates and particulates from the tank, which algae would use to feed and grow on things such as aquarium plants, cutting off sunlight or even on the glass walls themselves.
4. Oxygen: Just like humans fish breath oxygen – fish take their oxygen from the water using their gills (A side fact – Did you know betta fish are one of very few fish that can even take oxygen from above the water’s surface – but that’s another blog post).
As fish breathe they take (and use up) the oxygen in the water and replace it with carbon dioxide. Well guess what? That’s right marimo moss balls take in this waste carbon dioxide and replace it with oxygen. Your fish will be pleased!
5. They are cheap!
6. Easy! Marimo moss balls are so easy to look after. Once you add them to your tank they require no attention!
Marimo Moss Ball Care
Taking care of your marimo moss ball is easy! In most cases you add them to your tank and they will then become part of your aquarium’s aesthetics. Providing both style and helping keep your tank water clean.
However, if you wish for the healthiest marimo moss ball here are a few tips for you…
Light
Marimo balls require low to medium levels of indirect light – too much sunlight can cause them to brown.
If this begins to happen with your moss ball, the best solution is to simply move the ball into an area of the tank with lower light levels.
Water Changes
Take the time during water changes to agitate the moss ball slightly or simply place it on another side. This is to make sure it gets an even amount of light all around and also to retain its round shape.
Floating
Floating is a regular sight for moss balls. Usually, it indicates a trapped air bubble inside, this can be fixed by gently squeezing the ball.
Usually floating happens when you first add a marimo moss ball to the tank. It will usually sink within a few days of being added to a tank.
Don’t worry if your moss ball floats when you first add it to the tank, why not leave it there for your betta fish to investigate?
How to know if your moss ball is deadA dead moss ball can be identified as it will be mostly or completely brown, which indicates it is either completely or mostly unrecoverable. At this point, the moss ball can simply be removed as regular garden/organic waste. There is no way to rejuvenate them at this stage
How do I get my moss ball?
When we ship our moss balls they will come in a heat sealed zip lock bag that was only packed on the day of shipping. We usually ship them with some water in the bag so they can be buoyant.
They should appear GREEN and FLAT due to transport (As they normally get flatten due to shipping).
There will also be a slight odour – like when rain falls on dry land.
We encourage you to give them a rinse under water to clear out any excess cloudiness and also roll them with your hand (like you do with a snot ball)
IF your moss ball arrives BROWN or LOOKS DECAYED It means that it has died (which rarely happens but can happen – thus the reason why we send them via Express/ Sendle/ AusPost Snail Mail)
If this happens please send photos and videos using the Facebook Messenger icon and we will send you a fresh one.
Do you sell kits?
Yes, we will be selling kits. Please send us an enquiry so we can understand your requirements.
We have noticed that a few of competitors are using Shells or Sand that is not suitable for your marimo moss. We urge you to be aware of these as Marimo Moss naturally occurs in acidic regions and the kits that is supplied will not be great for the mosses’ well being.

edithae: named for Edith Korthaus who was involved in the discovery of this species and many other fishes from Borneo.
Distribution
This species is known only from the Greater Sunda Islands region in Indonesia.
Type locality is ‘Barito River delta, Banjarmasin, Borneo Indonesia’ which corresponds to the town of Banjarmasin in South Kalimantan (Kalimantan Selatan) province.
It’s subsequently been recorded over a large range including all four provinces of Kalimantan as well as near Palembang in South Sumatra (Sumatera Selatan) province, Sumatra and the islands of Bangka, Belitung (together forming Bangka-Belitung province) and Bintan (Riau Islands province).
It remains unclear whether all the populations are conspecific or not, with fish from Bintan differing from Bornean specimens in several characters (see ‘Notes’), while those from Palembang resemble the population from Bangka.
Habitat
Found in various habitat-types from flowing, black water streams where it tends to inhabit stiller, marginal areas among submerged roots, leaf litter or overhanging vegetation, to sluggish, artificially-modified canals inside oil palm plantations.
Maximum Standard Length
55 – 60 mm.
Water Conditions
Temperature: 20 – 27 °C
pH: 5.0 – 7.0
Hardness: 18 – 90 ppm
Betta imbellis has a pair of suprabranchial chambers that each house a labyrinth organ, a complex bony structure lined with thin, highly vascularised respiratory epithelium. The labyrinth organ is a morpho‐physiological adaptation that allows the B. imbellis to extract oxygen from air. This adaptation allows the species to persist in extreme conditions
Males of the species may fight each other especially when in breeding condition
These fish were incorrectly labelled with our licorice gourami but as they grew they developed the distinct imbellis pattern.
We have a few males and plenty of females in stock.
If you are looking for a pair just let me know in the comments
