  • Cherax sp. Papua

    We received wonderful wild collected angelfish from the municipality of the city Santa Isabel at the Rio Negro.

  • Xiphophorus kallmani

    16. January 2013

    The Catemaco Swordtail is a splendid, large species of swordtail. Females can reach a length up to 12 cm!

    For the first time ever we were able to import this trahira from Venezuela. We received only very few specimens.

    15. January 2013

    We are able to import this rare and comparably small (up to 13.5 cm standard length without caudal fin), pretty pacu only very occasionally.

  • Trachydoras paraguayensis

    13. November 2012

    We have received one more charming species of thorny catfish from Paraguay. T. paraguayensis becomes around 10 cm long and can be kept in the same way as a larger species of Corydoras.

  • Ossancora punctata

    Ossancora punctata

    13. November 2012

    Despite the facts that this pretty thorny catfish, which we were able to import once more from Paraguay, is known to science since 1855 and has an enormous wide distribution in South America – it is reported from Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, and Peru, where it is found both in white and black water – […]

  • Geophagus sp. Rio Caete

    Geophagus sp. Rio Caete

    6. November 2012

    Once more we were able to import this beautiful eartheater from the Rio Caete in the northeastern part of Brazil. The species is not described scientifically yet, but belongs without any doubt in the close relationship of the species Geophagus parnaibae and G. sp. “Pindare”. In all probability G. sp. Rio Caete attains a similar […]

  • Corydoras sp. aff. elegans C 126

    5. November 2012

    This is a further new species of Corydoras from the Madre de Dios region. The species attains a maximum length of about 4-5 cm. Males and females look very different.

    29. October 2012

    This beautiful killifish originates from Peru. Currently we can offer this rare fish as wild collected ones.

  • Apistogramma sp. BOLIVIA GOLD

    29. October 2012

    The shipment from the Madre de Dios region in Bolivia also contained a pretty new species of Apistogramma. The fish is without any doubt a close relative of A. luelingi.

    22. October 2012

    We received a shipment of beautiful, fully grown wild collected Corydoras weitzmani from Peru. The species is extremely rare in the trade. Our fish have a perfect condition!

  • Neolebias ansorgii

    Neolebias ansorgii

    22. October 2012

    This dainty little characin was a fairly popular aquarium fish in the 1950s and 1960s – according to the literature, at least. Nowadays it is only very rarely seen in the trade.

    22. October 2012

    In the Mergus Welsatlas, Vol.2, page 1110 the authors H.-G. Evers and I. Seidel illustrate a pretty Hypostomus originating from Bolivia. The determination of the species was not possible yet. The species reminds one strongly of L231 from Peru, but the new pleco from Bolivia has nice orange-reddish seams in the fins. We currently received […]

  • Hypancistrus sp. L236 Nachzuchten

    Hypancistrus sp. L236 bred

    22. October 2012

    Zebra plecos from the Rio Xingu and its affluents are banned for exportation for years already.

The specimens we currently have in stock are […]

  • Aphanotorulus frankei Bolivia

    22. October 2012

    The genus Aphanotorulus contains only two species, following some scientists: A. ammophilus from the Orinoco basin and A. unicolor from the complete upper Amazon basin.

    1. October 2012

    The Golden Nuggets (L18, L81, L81n, L177) belong to the genus Baryancistrus and have been described scientifically under the name of B. xanthellus. However, it is still unclear wether all these forms belong to the very same species or if they represent close relatives, but seperate species.

  • Megalops atlanticus und M. cyprinoides

    Megalops atlanticus und M. cyprinoides

    27. September 2012

    This up to 2.5 metres long giant is certainly no typical aquarium fish. Nevertheless the small number of specimens recently imported from Nigeria by Aquarium Glaser were literally snapped up like hot cakes! This really is a very extraordinary creature. One reason is, of course, its gigantic size – this predator can attain a weight […]

  • Elopichthys bambusa

    27. September 2012

  • Acentrogobius globiceps

    27. September 2012

    We were able to import once more this nice, only very occasionally available goby from India. The species becomes only 5-7 cm long.

    19. September 2012

    Only three kinds of cichlids are found in Asia, all of them belong to the species Etroplus. But many scientists believe that Etroplus are closer to damsels than to cichlids. However, all three kinds are marvelous aquarium fish. Two of them, E.macultus and E. suratensis are wide spread. There was no trace of E. canarensis […]

    Phenacogaster tegatus

    22. August 2012

    Six eyed tetra We obtained the rare, fascinating Six eyed tetra (Phenacogaster (formerly: Vesicatrus) tegatus) from Paraguay.

  • Allenbatrachus grunniens

    18. June 2012

    Nobody would keep this fascinating frogfish from South East Asia due to its coloration. The bizarre shape and the expressive eyes nevertheless make it a desirable species for the aquarium. This frogfish lives in the wild in river mouths; although it is possible to keep the fish in pure freshwater, it is better to add […]
