    Albino Bristlenose 4cm

    20 in stock

    The Albino Bristlenose is a variety of the common Bristlenose catfish, a popular freshwater aquarium fish. It is named for its distinctive bristle-like protrusions on its face, which are used to help the fish navigate and sense its environment. The Albino Bristlenose has a white or pinkish body and red eyes, due to a lack of pigmentation in the skin and scales. It typically grows to be about 3-5 inches long, making it a relatively small and manageable aquarium fish. In addition to its unique appearance, the Albino Bristlenose is known for its hardiness and ease of care. It is a peaceful, herbivorous fish that does well in community tanks with other non-aggressive species. They are also effective at keeping aquariums clean, as they feed on algae and other organic matter. Overall, the Albino Bristlenose is a great choice for aquarium hobbyists looking for a visually interesting, low-maintenance fish that can also help keep their tank clean.

    Ancistrus, also known as bushynose or bristlenose catfish, is a genus of nocturnal freshwater fish in the family Loricariidae of order Siluriformes, native to freshwater habitats in South America and Panama. The common Bristlenose is commonly captive bred appears impossible to identify to species primarily due to a lack of original locality information but also because tens of undescribed congeners exist. Ancistrus species show all the typical features of the Loricariidae. This includes a body covered in bony plates and a ventral suckermouth. The feature most commonly associated with the genus are the fleshy tentacles found on the head in adult males; females may possess tentacles along the snout margin but they are smaller and they lack tentacles on the head. Tentacules, tentacles directly associated with odontodes, develop on the pectoral fin spine of the males of some species. Sources: Wikipedia contributors. (2019, October 19). Ancistrus.

    11 in stock

    Shrimp Snow is a type of shrimp food that is designed to provide a balanced and nutritious diet for freshwater aquarium shrimp. It is a fine, powdery substance that is made up of a blend of high-quality ingredients, including plant-based proteins, vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients. Shrimp Snow is a popular choice among shrimp keepers because it is easy to feed and can be consumed by both adult and juvenile shrimp. The fine texture of the powder allows it to spread easily throughout the aquarium, making it accessible to all the shrimp in the tank. Shrimp Snow can also help to promote healthy growth, coloration, and reproductive health in shrimp. One of the benefits of using Shrimp Snow as a shrimp food is that it is specifically designed to meet the nutritional needs of freshwater shrimp. It contains high levels of spirulina, a blue-green algae that is rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals. Spirulina is a natural source of carotenoids, which can enhance the coloration of shrimp and make them more vibrant. In addition to spirulina, Shrimp Snow contains other plant-based proteins, such as wheat germ, alfalfa, and soy protein, which are easily digestible by shrimp. It also contains vitamins and minerals that are essential for shrimp health, such as vitamin C, calcium, and iron. To use Shrimp Snow as a shrimp food, it is typically added to the aquarium in small amounts, several times a day. The powder can be sprinkled directly into the water or added to a feeding dish. It is important to feed shrimp only what they can consume within a few minutes to avoid overfeeding and water quality issues. Overall, Shrimp Snow is a high-quality shrimp food that can provide a balanced and nutritious diet for freshwater aquarium shrimp. It is easy to feed and can help to promote healthy growth, coloration, and reproductive health in shrimp.

    Drip acclimation shrimp kit

    8 in stock

    What's in the kit? 1.5m of Airline 1x 25mm Airstone 1x Airline Suction 1x Steel Valve Why is Drip Acclimating shrimp before placing them in their new tank important? When adding new shrimp into your established already existing tank it is important to take the proper steps in introducing and acclimating them into their new home. The whole process is extremely stressful to the shrimp   The Drip acclimation system helps with this by getting your shrimp used to your aquarium water. Drip acclimation can help reduce shock, as the shock will affect shrimps and can lead to a shorter life expectancy, can cause death, causes stress, and chances of not eating. So acclimating shrimps by the drip method is essential to giving your shrimps a chance to survive in their new environment. Also, for any water changes in the future a drip system will assist, allowing a soft and gradual water change and not shocking the environment as especially Total Dissolved Salts (TDS) & PH must be kept within the correct water parameters and a sudden water change may disturb these parameters. Plan and prepare acclimation: Temperature Check When first arriving home check the temp in the bag vs the temperature in your tank. If it is not the same, float the shrimp in a bowl or something that won’t let water in. If using a regular bag from the fish store you can float that. Drip Acclimation Importance Once the temperature is close to the same then proceed to acclimating the shrimp. Acclimating shrimp should always be done with the drip method. The drip method can be done very simply with airline tubing, a control nozzle, a bucket/bowl, and a shrimp net. There are also products you can buy out there that are designed to do the drip method. I would stick with the basic airline tubing one we stated above. How To Drip Acclimate Empty your shrimp from their bag or bowl into the bucket, including the water from the bag. Now connect the control nozzle to one end of the tubing and place that end in your bucket and the other into your tank. Start a siphon by sucking on one end of the tubing (Make sure the control nozzle is fully open, otherwise your risk looking stupid and your shrimp may laugh at you). Watch the tubing as it fills with water, try not to get any in your mouth, and use your finger to cap the end of the tubing. Now lower the tubing into your bucket where the shrimp are and let go. Take a moment to make sure the siphon is working then adjust the nozzle to the desired flow, which I recommend to be 2-3 drops of water every second. You want to 4x the amount of water in the bucket. So 1/4 is your bag water from the LFS (Local Fish Store) and 3/4 is new water from your tank. The key after you have done the following steps is to now wait… The dreaded moment of nothingness… It should take roughly 1.5-2.5 hours for the shrimp to be ready. The drip method helps to allow the shrimp to adjust to the pH and other water parameters in your tank. This prevents them from being shocked by sudden changes and thus reduces stress… This reducing stress thing must be important, we have highlighted it several times! After You Drip Acclimate Now that your drip method is complete you should now net the shrimp into the aquarium. Leaving your tank light off for the first 24 hours (the lighting will add unneeded stress), also as much as you want to feed these little guys... don't, they will be fine for the first 24 hours, lastly NEVER PUT STORE WATER INTO YOUR TANK! Putting stored water in your tank can potentially allow all sorts of unwanted parasites, bacteria, and fungus into your tank and this is not good!!   Reference https://www.theshrimpfarm.com/posts/acclimating-shrimp/

  • Easy - Life Catappa X 1lt - Nano Tanks Australia Aquarium Shop

    Easy-Life Catappa X 1lt

    Catappa leaves are added to aquarium water because of the healing effect they have on fish and shrimps. Catappa-X is the effective, fluid variant of the leaves for aquariums. The leaves of the Catappa tree release healing substances when they are immersed in water. The disadvantage of doing so is that, in time, they decompose, which results in the release of organic compounds. This has a number of unpleasant side effects: it turns the water brown and the released organic compounds contaminate the water. Catappa-X is the answer to these problems. It does not discolour nor contaminate the water and it lowers the bacterial count, which greatly reduces the chance of disease. Catappa-X allows fish and shrimps to flourish and have more vibrant colours.

    L066 is a species of pleco, a type of catfish, that is also known as the King Tiger Pleco. They are native to the Amazon basin in South America and are popular in the aquarium hobby due to their striking appearance and relatively small size. L066 plecos have a dark brown or black body with bold yellow or white stripes, which can vary in pattern and intensity from fish to fish. In the wild, L066 plecos are typically found in fast-moving rivers and streams with rocky substrates, and they are adapted to clinging to the rocks and feeding on algae and other vegetation. In the aquarium, they require a similar environment, with plenty of hiding places, caves, and other structures to provide them with cover and places to explore. They can be kept in a range of tank sizes, but should have ample space to swim and climb. L066 plecos are generally peaceful and can be kept with a variety of other fish species, although they may become territorial with members of their own kind. They are primarily herbivores and will appreciate a varied diet that includes algae wafers, fresh vegetables, and occasional meaty foods like bloodworms or brine shrimp. L066 plecos are known to be relatively hardy and long-lived, with proper care and a suitable environment they can live for up to 20 years.

  • L333 KING TIGER PLECO (SIZE 3CM) - Nano Tanks Australia Aquarium Shop

    L333 KING TIGER PLECO (SIZE 3CM)

    Out of stock

    The L333  King Tiger Pleco (Hypancistrus sp.) is a member of the Loricariidae family of South American suckermouth catfishes.  Its entire body is covered in black and white or yellow “maze-like” stripes, making it a very striking fish for the planted or nano aquarium.  Like many plecos, the King Tiger Pleco has generally been a wild-caught species, but we are proud to be among the first stores to offer tank-raised juveniles at a much lower cost than wild-caught specimens! A generally peaceful and hardy species, the King Tiger Pleco is an excellent, undemanding candidate for most aquariums. Unlike the widely-seen Common Pleco (Hypostomus plecostomus) and Trinidad Pleco (Hypostomus punctatus), which easily reach a monstrous size of 18 to 20+ inches (45 to 51+ cm), the King Tiger Pleco grows to a size of only 5.5 to 6.3 inches (13.75 to 15.75 cm).   This smaller size makes for a much more manageable (and less messy) pleco that can thrive permanently in a well-maintained aquarium as small as 40 gallons.  Male plecos may be somewhat territorial with other males of their species, but disputes can usually be diffused by providing ample territory and hiding places for each fish.  All other fish tankmates will be generally ignored, although it is likely that dwarf shrimp will fall prey to the King Tiger Pleco.  However, ornamental snails will not be bothered and large Amano, Green Lace, Flower, and Vampire Shrimp are generally unthreatened by the King Tiger Pleco.  Please note that this fish requires a significantly warmer temperature than many other fish and invertebrates.  Some shrimp will not thrive in these high temperatures. The King Tiger Pleco is primarily nocturnal, but will often become active during daytime hours once established in an aquarium with plenty of driftwood, rockwork, and other hiding places.  It is not known to eat wood heavily like some plecos (Panaque sp., etc.), but it may benefit from some supplementary wood (or bio-film on driftwood). The King Tiger Pleco will not bother most plants and it is not an effective algae eater Feed the King Tiger Pleco a diet heavy in both meaty and vegetable matter, including high-quality vegetable flakes, sinking algae wafers, and pellets.  It will also appreciate being fed some fresh vegetables such as shelled peas, spinach, zucchini, and cucumber.  Meaty foods such as bloodworms are definitely necessary for this species, especially in comparison to some other “pleco” species.  This species requires a well-maintained aquarium with moderate to high water flow in order to thrive. What We Like About This Fish: The King Tiger Pleco is an extremely beautiful and very peaceful, hardy addition to almost any aquarium. At a maximum size of 5.1 to 6 inches, this is a very practical and manageable fish. This fish will not bother most plants.  It will also scavenge and consume most uneaten fish food. The King Tiger Pleco is an aquarium fish with a unique appearance as well as plenty of personality. RECOMMENDED TANK PARAMETERS:  Temperature:  79° - 86° F (26° - 30° C) pH:  5.5 - 7.5 (flexible as long as sudden changes are avoided) KH:  6 - 10 dKH Minimum tank size:  40 gallons
