We received two very rare species of Corydoras from Brazil, which represent moreover two of the largest species of Corydoras at all: the “real” Corydoras narcissus (I), which can attain a maximum length of almost 10 cm, and Corydoras robustus, which can become even one centimeter longer. For the differences beween C. narcissus I and […]
We obtained this pretty killifish from a German breeder in small numbers. Rivulus hartii (the species has be placed in the genus Anablepsoides recently, thus the correct name is now Anablepsoides hartii) becomes comparatively large and grows to a maximum size of 11 cm. In the aquarium this rather peaceful fish can live up to […]

Male can be recognized by the lappet on the anal fin. For our customers: the fish have code 149004 on […]
We obtained in very limited numbers this beautiful local variety of the wild variatus platy (Xiphophorus variatus) from a German breeder. The Rio Nautla variety is a fish that occurs in the wild, not an artificial sport! For our customers: the fish have code 442983 on our stocklist. Please note that we exclusively supply the wholesale […]
This species of halfbeak from Sulawesi (formerly: Celebes) has been described scientifically only last year (2012). It can be distinguished most easily by the coloration from N. ebrardtii, a quite similar species (see http://www.aquariumglaser.de/en/nomorhamphus-ebrardtii_de_1519.html). N. rex has yellow ventral fins, N. ebrardtii reddish-orange ones, N. rex has a red lower beak, the lower beak of […]
The Golden barb is an artificial sport that is said to have derived from the half-banded barb (Barbus semifasciolatus). However, nobody can say this for sure. The fish appeared in the 1960ies in the aquarium trade and is said to have been bred by an aquarist named Thomas Schubert of Camden, New Jersey, US. That […]
Once more we received very pretty bred L168 from our proofed breeder. Currently the fish are 4-5 cm long. The scientific name of the species is Zonancistrus brachyurus. The wrong name “Peckoltia pulcher”, however, still often appears on the stocklists. For our customers: the animals have code 26480-L168x-1 on our stocklist. Please note that we […]
Finally we were able once more to import the wonderful Chaetostoma sp. Tiger from Peru. This is our second importation since 2011. Due to the fact that we offered the first specimens long before they attained a L-number they formerly had the codenumber 214844 on our stocklist. Now they have 26480-L 455-4 (5-7 cm) and […]
For the first time we could import this species of shrimp from Paraguay. Most probably it represents a population of Macrobrachium brasiliense. That species was imported by us ocassionally already from Peru (see http://www.aquarium-glaser.de/en/archiv.php?news_id=299). Compared with the Peruvian specimens those from Paraguay have more slender arms, otherwise they look identical. The maximum length of our […]
The swamp- or rice-eels are strange-looking fish that become around 75 cm long. In their natural habitat they live deeply burrowed in the mud. These fish can survive even in almost oxygen-free water, because they own a lung that enables them to breath atmospheric air they take from the water surface. Swamp-eels are predators that […]
We received extraordinary beautiful specimens of this sport. Available in limited numbers only! For our customers: the animals have code 614883 on our stocklist. Please note that we exclusively supply the wholesale trade. Text & photos: Frank Schäfer
We imported very nice specimens of the halfbeak Nomorhamphus ebrardtii. This livebearing fish lives endemic (this means: exclusively there) on the island of Sulawesi, formerly known as Celebes. Here the species occurs mainly in smaller brooks. Maximum length of N. ebrardtii is around 6-7 cm. The bright orange-red fins are very striking as well as […]
These gouramis belong to a scientifically still undescribed species, which is close to C. labiosa. The parents of our fish have been collected during a private collecting trip in Burma in Lake Inle.

This top-rarity among the hillstream loaches reached us from Vietnam, where the genus Annamia is represented by this single species. A second, formally described species (A. thuathiensis), also from Vietnam, needs to be researched. A. normani has also been reported from Laos and Cambodia. Annamia normani attains a maximum length of about 10 cm and […]
We received from Brazil the very rarely offered, beautiful Corydoras polystictus. C. polystictus inhabits the Rio Paraguay basin in Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. Corydoras polystictus is a deep bodies species, which likes to swim along with conspecifics. The spotted pattern varies in each individual. Maximum size reported for the species is around 4.5 cm. For […]
This beautiful killi is only very occasionally available as German bred. Currently we have some of these bred ones in stock. They are descendants from the population from Lagos (Nigeria). Our fish are large, full in colour and very pretty. This species is suitable for community tanks with peaceful, small fish (barbs, tetras, catfish etc.). […]
L25 “Scarlet” is still one of the most sought after large loricariids. Now we can offer for the first time ever German bred specimens of this beautiful species which are currently 4-5 cm long. For our customers: the animals have code 26480-L 25X-0 on our stocklist. Please note that we exclusively supply the wholesale trade. […]
Another rarity reached us from Peru: Serrasalmus compressus. The systematics of Piranhas are still poorly understood, especially young fish are very difficult to determine. Formerly this species has been often traded as S. hollandi. S. compressus reaches a maximum length of about 20 cm. This species of Piranha are solitary fish that feed in their […]
Finally we were able to import once more this charming dwarf cichlid. The fish was known in the hobby under the name of Laetacara sp. “Buckelkopf” ( = humphead) before the scientific description. For more informations, please click http://www.aquariumglaser.de/en/news/Laetacara_araguaiae_en/ For our customers: the animals have code 603002 on our stocklist. Please note that we exclusively […]
We received magnificent, 12-15 cm long Serrasalmus rhombeus from Brazil. This species attains a maximum length of about 50 cm and is thus one of the largest species of Piranha. Sometimes occur specimens with a very dark and dull coloration. In our current import we also obtained such a fish. This sport has formerly been […]
Finally we were able to import once more the most beautiful species of tiger perch, the Indonesian Tiger Fish. These large growing predators can reach a maximum length around 50 cm and are wonderful show fish for large aquaria. But our imports are still young, 4-6 cm long. There are two populations of this perch, […]
For the first time ever we have this beautiful species of shark in stock. Of course it belongs to the barb family, but species of several barb genera that have a similar body shape, are commonly called “shark” in the hobby. In our fishhouse it got the nickname “top-model-barb”, for it is very pretty, but […]
We were able to import a very special pike cichlid, belonging to the closer relationship of Crenicichla strigata/marmorata/lenticulata. Only one pair reached us, which is currently 20-25 cm long and thus not fully grown yet. According to the well known specialist for pike cichlids, Jens Gottwald (who supplied us a nice picture of a fully […]
This guppy sport is a real wonder regarding the coloration. We obtain the fish from Sri Lanka. The basic type is a tuxedo, eg light anterior body, black posterior body. The caudal fin is of the sunrise type, which means that it is yellow at its base and becomes red towards the border. In each […]
We received very nice coloured L202 from Colombia. This species of Peckoltia has the additional L-numbers LDA 57 and LDA 79. The fish attains a maximum length of 12-14 cm. They should be kept at temperatures of about 25-29°C. For our customers: the animals have code 26480-L 202-2 on our stocklist. Please note that we […]
One of the advantages of the aquarium hobby is that there exists a species of fish for any thinkable taste. Most of our readers will for sure prefer the pretty Pseudomugil cf. paskai, but the plump and drab coloured Cyprinion semiplotum is also worth a look. This species of carp attains a maximum length of […]
Finally this beautiful cory, the long snouted counterpart to C. sterbai, is available again – in show size! For our customers: the fish have code 231505 on our stocklist. Available in limited numbers only! Please note that we exclusively supply the wholesale trade. Text & photos: Frank Schäfer

Please note that we exclusively supply the wholesale […]
It has been only recently that we were able to present to you the sensational Pseudomugil luminatus “Red Neon” (see http://www.aquariumglaser.de/en/archiv.php?news_id=556). Now we received from one of our suppliers in Indonesia a new variety of that species which we called Pseudomugil luminatus “Yellow” due to the rather yellow basic coloration, compared with the “Red Neon”. […]
We received in very small numbers these beautiful pike cichlids from Venezuela. Crenicichla sp. Inirida III has the special feature of red spots in the pattern (see also http://www.aquariumglaser.de/en/crenicichla-sp-fire-spot-venezuela–sp-inirida-iii_de_1495.html for the picture of an adult male). In Crenicichla sp. Inirida I the shape of the shoulder spot is unique and the males develop a very […]
Once more we were able to import one of the flattest species of L-numbers: Ancistrus ranunculus (L34). In any case it is the most emancipated of all, because in this species also the females wear a pretty large beard! For our customers: the animals have code 26480-L 034-3 on our stocklist. Please note that we […]
This peaceful and beautiful tetra occurs in the wild along with the Cardinal tetra (Paracheirodon axelrodi). A tank that is inhabited by a school of both species is a wonderful look. We recently received splendid wild collected Hemigrammus stictus. The species attains a length of 4-5 cm. For our customers: the fish have code 257503 […]

Once more we were able to import another catfish gem: L95, a scientifically undescribed species of the genus Pseudorinelepis, which is very closely related to P. genibarbis. Our specimens come from the Takutu river in the upper Rio Branco basin. These gorgeous fishes are collected mostly in relative large specimens, because the juveniles are not […]
We received this rare glass predatory tetra from Paraguay. It is an ideal aquarium fish for all who are interested in keeping predatory tetras and have no very large tank, because R. descalvadensis becomes only around 10 cm long. Feeding the fish is pretty easy for they accept almost any type of the usual frozen […]
The dwarf shrimp Neocaridina heteropoda is one of the most easy to keep dwarf shrimps. It is absolutely undemanding regarding water chemistry and tolerates water temperatures between 10 and 30°C. Moreover it is very easy to breed. The species attains a maximum length of about 3 cm and is a perfect aquarium animal. Neocaridina heteropoda […]
This cichlid originates from a comparatively small collecting site in Peru. That´s why Aequidens patricki is imported only very occasionally. In the wild, the species lives in soft and acidic water. However, the species is very hardy and adapts well to variable water conditions in the aquarium. Another positive fact is that this species is […]
This is by far the most beautiful species of the bumblebee gobies. The males develop a splendid orange-red in the vertical bands of the body and tail. Females most often have yellow bands, but despite the colours they can be easily recognized by the comparably smaller head. The species has been confused with B. xanthozonus […]
We received charming German bred specimens of this mouthbreeding whiptail catfish. Just like the parents the offspring shows a great variability regarding coloration. For our customers: the animals have code 266651 on our stocklist. Please note that we exclusively supply the wholesale trade. Available in limited numbers only! Text & photo: Frank Schäfer
This beautiful species of Corydoras is only occasionally available. It has a comparably pointed snout and becomes around 6 cm long. In its natural habitat this species lives in dark water. So it has only very few markings on the light colored body: the dark eyeband and a rectangular blotch right below the dorsal fin. […]
The corys belonging to the Corydoras-elegans-complex are very variable in respect of coloration. Moreover they have a juvenile coloration that differs from the adult coloration, and the males have another coloration than the females. This makes them really difficult to apply to a described species. But the fish are very beautiful! Currently we have one […]
We received again this pretty and very variably colored Cory from Peru. It remains still an open question whether “San Juan” belongs to Corydoras napoensis, C. bilineatus or an undescribed species. The Corydoras-elegans-group, to which “San Juan” belongs without any doubt, is in need of revision. May this be as it is: “San Juan” is […]
This species represents without any doubt the most popular African catfish at all. The Upside Down Cat (Synodontis nigriventris) has reached us in good numbers and a perfect size again. Currently the fish are 3-4 cm long. For our customers: the fish have code 183402 on our stocklist. Please note that we exclusively supply the […]
One of the earliest sports that developed in goldfish is the double tailfin. Simple goldfish with a double tailfin are called Wakin. Red-and-white pattern belongs to the most popular and most beautiful colour sports in goldfish. Red-and-white fish are called in general Sarasa. The Wakin Sarasa is also called Wakin Hoe Kim. Wakin goldfish are […]
For the first time ever we can offer this pretty eartheater. The parents originate from Suriname (exactly: the Tapanahoni river. However, the species occurs also in other rivers of Suriname, like the Maroni river, for example). The fish prefer a moderate to strong current, but change to habitats with less current for breeding. Keeping conditions: […]
We received wonderful wild collected specimens of this mouthbrooding cichlid (the females orally broods the larvae and young fry) from Paraguay. This species attains a maximum length of about 9 cm only (standard length, with the caudal fin the maximum length is around 12 cm) and thus is one of the smallest members of the […]
Yesterday reached us wonderful wild collected angels from Santa Isabel. The picture has been taken from one of the fish that arrived yesterday!

One of our breeders has developed this unique and beautiful guppy sport from Magenta and Albino guppys. The fish are very healthy German bred ones! For our customers: the fish have code 419096 on our stocklist. Please note that we exclusively supply the wholesale trade. Available in very limited numbers only! Text & photos: Frank […]
Currently three different species of the remarkable genus Tetranematichthys are distinguished by scientists. None of them is often imported, because their secretive way of life between dead driftwood makes catching them a pure matter of luck. So we are very glad to have managed the first imporation ever of the species Tetranematichthys wallacei from Venezuela. […]
The charming hermit crab Clibanarius africanus has become a very popular aquarium inhabitant. It is an euryhalin species, which means that it can survive in both pure fresh and pure marine water. However, it seems that it can live in pure freshwater only for a few months, so it is much better to keep it […]
This crab is something like the big sister of the “classical” Red Mangrove Crab, Pseudosesarma moeschi. Regarding keeping that crab no major differences exist to that of the smaller relative with the exception that P. huzardi becomes as twice as large – about 8 cm carapax width. So the species needs bigger and more spacious […]
From the coasts of West and Central Africa originates Cardisoma armatum. The bright orange colored legs form a strong contrast to the blue body and let this crab become an attractive ornament. With a carapax diameter of approximately 10 cm it does not belong to the smallest crabs, therefore a spacy tank has to be […]
For the first time ever we can offer both species of Biotoecus that have been described scientifically so far at the same time! Both species are among the rarest fish in the trade and this is the reason why it is so remarkable to have both of them in stock. Moreover, we can offer for […]
The lizard tetras of the genus Iguanodectes are in general very rare aquarium fish. Currently 8 species are accepted. The very slender fish attain a maximum length of about 7 cm and are peaceful schooling fish. We could import the very pretty Iguanodectes geisleri from Venezuela. This blackwater fish is characterized by the three coloured […]
We received this beautiful colour morph of the Bronze corydoras that exhibits a lot of orange colours from Peru. It belongs to the “Gold Shoulder” group, which is sometimes named Corydoras schultzei; however, this name is currently considered to be a synonym of C. aeneus. The fish is very rare and available in limited numbers […]

Apistogramma mendezi Although Apistogramma mendezi can be imported only occasionally and is also rarely bred the beautiful species is known to develop a great number of local varieties. Additionally males of the very same local population show a high degree of polychromatism. The term polychromatism means that animals can show a differing individual colour pattern […]
Currently we can offer an absolute rarity from Venezuela: Biotoecus dicentrarchus. In this dwarf cichlid the male attains a maximum length of about 6 cm, the female of about 4-5 cm. The fish are sandbottom dwellers. For breeding the male builds a large sandhill where the pair is spawning. For our customers: the fish have […]
The tigerfish of the genus Hydrocynus are the top predators among the freshwater fishes of Africa. H. goliath represents the largest species, maximum length reported so far is more than 130 cm and 50 kg weight. Our specimens currently are 10-12 cm long. Tigerfish are very popular among sport fishers, but aquarists specialized in predatory […]

Breathtaking, large, wild collected angelfish originating from the Rio Jatapu in Brazil arrived on wednesday. These animals have a very distinct black spot in the dorsal fin. We have never seen before such markings in angelfish. Possibly the angels represent a new, undescribed species. Even though the photo can – of course – not yet […]
Of course this fish is known in the hobby for decades already, but isn´t it nevertheless a breathtaking beauty? The tiny animal is an ideal companion of the cardinal tetra, along with which it occurs in the natural habitat, too. For our customers: the animals have code 281002 on our stocklist. Please note that we […]
For the first time ever we could import this attractive tetra from Venezuela. Currently 12 species of Bryconops are described from Venezuela, but most of them are known from preserved specimens only. So our determination is only tentative. In any case the fish are very pretty; we suppose that they may reach a maximum length […]
It does not happen very often that we feel unable to determine an imported species at least roughly. But when a few weeks ago a shipment containing very small (about 1 cm) Rasboras from Thailand arrived we could name the fish only provisionally “Rasbora sp. Dwarf”. In the meantime the fish have grown happily and […]
We received from India (West Bengal) this attractive species of Macrobrachium, which we could not apply to any described species so far. For our customers: the animals have code 484733 on our stocklist. Please note that we exclusively supply the wholesale trade. Text & photos: Frank Schäfer

We just received beautiful large bred specimens of the “Vielfleck”-variety (Vielfleck = many spots). For our customers: the fish have code 628744 on our stocklist. Please note that we exclusively […]
The bitterlings are a subfamiliy of the great and diverse carp family. So far only very few species have been introduced in the hobby, but there do exist about 70 species and subspecies which are classified in 4 genera. It is a sad thing that only so few aquarists are interested in bitterlings, for all […]
We received breathtaking, large Acheilognathus tonkinensis (Giant or Rainbow Bitterling). Fot more information, please click http://www.aquariumglaser.de/en/fish-archive/coldwater-fish/Acheilognathus_tonkinensis_en/For our customers: the animals have code 800154 on our stocklist.

For the first time ever we can offer this attractive new tetra. Our specimens are German bred ones. Hyphessobrycon melanostichos has been described scientifically only in 2006. Until now the fish is known only from the upper reaches of the Rio Tapajos, namely a small river called Rio Doze de Outubro. If our fish are […]
C142 is a very beautiful, peaceful and comparatively small species of Corydoras: it becomes around 5 cm long. It is said that C142 originates from the Rio Tapajos. Corydoras kanei is quite similar to C142, but the latter is distinguished from the former by the bright golden spots on the neck and the operculum. Such […]
The genus Thorichthys originates from Central America. Formerly the fish were grouped in the catch-all genus Cichlasoma. The best known species is the fire mouth cichlid, Thorichthys meeki. All Thorichthys are very beautiful. Compared with other cichlids, Thorichthys are also quite peaceful. Currently we have a good number of species of Thorichthys in stock, which […]
We received beautiful German bred specimens of this rare eartheater. Until the species has been described in 2012 under the name of Satanoperca rhynchitis it was known in the hobby as Satanoperca sp. “Red Lips”. The fish develop the pretty red lips only when adult, so we add a picture of an adult specimen to […]
This wonderful rainbowfish seems to glow from inside! Sadly the species is very close to extinction in the wild due to environment pollution. This species is only found in Lake Sentani in New Guinea and some of the affluents of that lake. Luckily Chilatherina sentaniensis is kept and bred by rainbowfish enthusiasts and there is […]
The Blue-eyed Panaque was in the 1980ies one of the most common loricariids in the trade. By the way: the correct scientific name is Panaque suttonorum. For unknown reasons the fish is hardly available nowadays. There are, however, a lot of rumours. Some say that an ecological catastrophe appeared, others tell that a madman has […]
Two days ago we were able to import a single specimen of pike cichlid , which we have never seen before. The animal for sure belongs to the rambling relationship of Crenicichla saxatilis; however, no scientific description on a species exist that has red instead of black markings on the body. Our specimen – most […]

Along with the new, red species of Crenuchus that lacks the tail spot (see http://www.aquariumglaser.de/en/fish-archive/tetras-en/south-america-en/A_new_species_of_Crenuchus__en/) we received splendid, large Crenuchus cf. spilurus from Venezuela. Some specimens also have a reddish basic coloration, others are yellowish. Only the males develope the gorgeous sailfins. For our customers: the animals have code 250225 on our stocklist. Please note […]
We could import this breathtaking beautiful barb from the South of India (Kerala). The species is an ideal ornamental fish for larger show aquaria. It attains a length of 12-15 cm. One should keep Barilius bakeri always in schools (from 5 specimens upwards), otherwise they are often very quarrelsome. For our customers: the fish have […]
This pretty dwarf cichlid was known in the hobby under the names of Apistogramma sp. “Segelflossen” (=sailfin), A. sp. “Puerto Ayacucho” and A. sp. “Vierstreifen” (= four stripes) until it became described scientifically. The species has never been imported on a regular basis and currently no importations appear at all. So we are quite happy […]
For the first time ever we could import this attractive dwarf suckermouth catfish. The maximum length observed was about 14 cm. The males – they can be easily recognized by the long “whiskers” – have a very obvious different colour compared with the females. For our customers: the animals have code 277334 on our stocklist. […]
Once more we were able to import the charming, only 2 – 2.5 cm long crystal rainbow tetra from Peru.

We received once more very pretty Danio dangila from India. This species is the type species of the genus Danio. D. dangila attains a maximum length of about 12 cm. Each individual has a bit different pattern. The coloration reminds one in Damascus steel. For our customers: the fish have code 413403 on our stocklist. […]
We were able to import this obviously undescribed species of Crenuchus from Venezuela. This beautiful, reddish tetra is distinguished from the only described species of the genus (Crenuchus spilurus) by the deeper body, the orange-red fins, the only hardly visible caudal spot and the fact that the anal fin in males of the new Crenuchus […]
Only very few species of barbs from Africa became established as ornamental fish, although a great number of small species occurs there. Only one single species is bred on a regular basis and can be found in the trade quite often: Barbus fasciolatus, the African banded barb. This fish is a real beauty! A well […]
These beautiful species of wild Betta have been described scientifically recently. We have both species in stock. Our tentative designations for the fish were Betta sp. Mahachai for B. mahachaiensis and Betta cf. imbellis Black Vietnam for Betta siamorientalis so far. Both species are very nice, comparably peaceful fighting fishes. Keeping and breeding is similar […]
