From Peru comes a group Panaque, that is charcterized particularly through the small eye and the long tail fin filaments. The first imported species got the L-number 90. This species, also known as Panaque sp. “Papa”, has a white, sometimes also orange or pink crescent in the caudal fin and is always easy to recognize. […]
Once again we can present and offer you a top rarity among the wild forms of livebearers: Xiphophorus andersi. Most likely the animals we have received from a German breeder are the first ever to be offered in the ornamental fish wholesale trade. Xiphophorus andersi comes from the Rio Atoyak in the state of Veracruz, […]
The first reports of a new dwarf badis appeared in June 2004. Nonn Panitvong, an enthusiastic Thai aquarist, had found the animals in Bangladesh. Panitvong did not announce a more precise location, but said he caught the animals in a pond near a rice field, together with Danio rerio, Oryzias sp., Channa sp., Colisa chuna […]

Once more we have this splendid large barb (maximum size: approx. 60 cm) from Burma in stock. We have only a limited number of specimens! If one photographs these fishes and sets the flashlight directly from the front the fish looks rather drab silvery. But in the real life, when the fish is swimming, the […]

Among them were beautiful corydoras catfish from the closer relationship of Corydoras melanotaenia.
