| BLUE NEON BITTERLING 3.5CM |
 |
Bitterlings are tolerant of cool water, making it an ideal candidate for unheated aquaria in Australia. They grow to about 9cm and are not particularly fussy about water or feed requirements. Bitterlings have the unique habit of requiring freshwater mussels in which to lay their eggs; the fry are then released from the mussel when ready and feed on small particles of food in the water. The Blue Neon is one of the nicer colour forms of Bitterling. |
| BUMBLE BEE GOBY 2.5CM |
 |
Bumblebee Gobies are an aptly named fish native to brackish and fresh waters of South-east Asia. Bumblebees do well in hard alkaline water, and appreciate some salt added to the aquarium (eg 1 teaspoon/10 litres). They prefer live foods, blackworms in particular and are a good community fish, occupying the lower areas of the aquarium. Maximum size is about 4cm. |

| BUTTERFLY FISH 6CM - PANTODON |
 |
The Butterflyfish is a bizzare looking oddball that lies in wait just below the water surface for food items such as fallen insects. Very difficult to breed, most aquarium stock is wild caught from West Africa. It makes a good aquarium fish, readily eating most floating foods and is not particularly fussy about water conditions. Both sexes are very similar except the male has a slightly convex anal fin. They grow to about 10cm. Like most surface dwellers, they are good jumpers. |
| CELEBES RAINBOW 3.5CM |
 |
This lively and peaceful rainbow is native to Sulawesi (Celebes). Males develop very impressive finnage and both sexes are attractively coloured. They prefer slightly alkaline water moderately hard, where necessary add conditioning salts to their water - particularly in soft water areas. Once settled, they are easily kept and eat most standard aquarium foods. They look best in a small group, and grow to about 7cm. |
| ELEPHANT NOSE 8CM |
 |
Elephant Nose fish are found in slow moving rivers and streams in West Africa. They prefer small crustaceans and worms in the wild. In an aquarium environment live blackworms or frozen bloodworms form an essential part of a good diet. They are not particularly fussy about water conditions but prefer temperatures between 23oC and 26oC with moderate hardness and a neutral pH. |

| FLAGTAIL PROCHILODUS RED FINNNED 4CM |
 |
The Red Finned Flagtail Prochilodus grows to a maximum size of approximately 35cm. When mature, this species has a red and black striped pattern on the tail and red anal and pelvic fins. It is interesting to note that closely related species in the natural habitat are utilised as a food fish by the natives. Due to its high value as an aquarium specimen, this species is exported to various parts of the world. This species is not particularly fussy about diet – dry food is readily accepted but preferably some vegetable material should be added to their diet. |
| FRESHWATER MUSSEL MEDIUM |
 |
Freshwater Mussels are a bivalve, they have two valves (shells) hinged together that can open a small distance. They live on the bottom of rivers and other freshwater aquatic habitats, feeding by filtering the water for microscopic animals and plants. They can be kept in unheated aquaria or outdoor ponds, and are used as an egg-incubator by Bitterlings. |
| GOLD HALF BEAK 4CM |
 |
The Half Beak is a slender livebearer that grows to 6-7cm and is native to south-east Asia. A surface dweller, most aquarium foods are eaten, but floating foods are best. They prefer slightly alkaline water that is not soft, where necessary add conditioning salts to their water - particularly in soft water areas. Best kept in small group with similar sized peaceful species. The gold form is an aquarium strain that looks as if it has been dipped in gold dust. |
| SPOTTED HEADSTANDER 4CM |
 |
The Spotted Headstander prefer slow moving streams as they are a peaceful fish. They grow to a maximum size of approximately 10cm and prefer soft, slightly acidic water. These fish often assume a position with their head pointing downwards, tankmates should be other peaceful species such as tetras. |

| BANDED LEPORINUS 5CM |
 |
The Banded Leporinus have alternating black and gold vertical bands (actually are black bands on top of a gold background colour). Growing to a maximum size of around 35mm, they can be aggressive so can be housed with similarly-sized American cichlids and also similarly sized and related characins - such as Silver Dollars, Red Hook Metynnis, Anostomus and Prochilodus. |
| MARBLED LIZARD FISH 4.5CM |
|
These fish inhabit fast flowing streams in south-east Asia, where they graze upon algae covered rocks. A very intriguing fish, Lizard Fish are best kept in an aquarium with strong filtration, to replicate their natural habitat. Their diet should include vegetable based foods, but they also readily eat frozen and live foods. A peaceful species, growing to about 10cm. |
| GOLD MEDAKA 3CM |
 |
Native to East Asia, Medakas are often found in rice paddies and are also known as Ricefish. The wild type is rather plain, thereas the gold form is an attractive golden-yellow with gold-orange fins. It tolerates large temperature fluctuations and is ideal for controlling mosquito larvae in outdoor water features in most parts of Australia. Gold Medakas are also well suited to unheated indoor aquaria, as long as tankmates are not overly large. Peaceful, hardy and easy to feed, they grow to 3.5cm. |
| MONO SEBAE 3.5CM - AFRICAN MONO (BRACKISH) |
 |
The Mono Sebae is characterised by an extremely deep body and long dorsal and anal fins when mature. They are quite hardy, readily accepting most available fish food, but like the addition of frozen blood worms to their diet. Mono sebae grow to a maximum length of about 15cm, but may get to almost 20cm deep from tip of dorsal fin to the tip of the anal fin. |
| RED HOOK METYNNIS 8CM |
 |
This is a robust active species, which prefers to be in a school. The common name refers to the fishs distinctive red hook shaped anal fin. A difficult species to breed, most aquarium stock is wild caught in South America. Mainly vegetarian, the Red Hook should be fed plenty of vegetable based/green foods. A very nice display fish for large aquaria, these fish grow to about 20cm but can grow larger in the wild. |

| GOLD MYSTERY SNAIL LARGE |
 |
The Gold Mystery Snail is an excellent scavenger for the heated aquarium, efficient and also a striking gold colour. These are hardy snails, but do not keep them with fish such as large Cichlids, as the latter often prey on snails, even large ones. Ensure the aquarium is well covered - Mystery Snails lay their egg clusters above the water surface and occasionally climb out! Upon hatching, the young snails drop back into the water, perfect miniatures of the adult snails. |

| SPINEY EEL 10CM |
 |
Native to south-east Asia, the Spiney Eel is a popular oddball which appeals to many people looking for something a bit different. They appreciate cave-like hiding places and may burrow into the substrate if frightened. Spiney Eels will eat most frozen or live foods, with bloodworm and blackworm both favoured. They usually grow to about 15-20cm, but can grow larger in the wild. They can be kept with most community fishes except for fish such as small tetras (these might be eaten, especially by particularly large Spiney Eels.) |
| WHITE CLOUD 3CM |
 |
One of the most popular of all aquarium fish, White Clouds tolerate a wide range of temperatures and are ideal for both heated and unheated aquaria, and for outdoor water features. Very peaceful, they are best kept in a school as this gives the males a chance to try and outshine their rivals with impressive fin displays. They are not fussy about water conditions and eat most standard fish foods. Originally native to southern China (but now reputedly endangered in the wild), they grow to about 4cm. They breed readily and the young fish have a neon stripe. |

| BLACK AXOLOTL 15CM |
 |
The Axolotl (or "Walking Fish") are very popular pets for an unheated aquarium or large bowl. They mainly feed by smell as they have poorly developed eyesight, earthworms being one of their favourite foods. If kept with fish, ensure the fish do not bite the axolotl's gills, and alternately, not be small enough for the axolotl to eat them. The Axolotl is a neotenic amphibian: unlike related species they do not metamorphose into a salamander, instead remaining/breeding in the "juvenile" stage. They can grow to about 20-25cm and are also able to regenerate damaged limbs and gills. |
