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 […]

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

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).

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 […]
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 […]

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.

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 […]
This beautiful striped Leporinus originates from the Ventuari river in Venezuela. It represents possibly a still undescribed species of Leporinus; Leporinus with a similar coloration are known so far only from the Rio Tapajos and Rio Xingu in Brazil; these “haresnouts” (this is what the name Leporinus means translated) have been described in 1929 under […]
We received a very small number of fully grown specimens of that very rare species of Betta as German bred ones. The mouthbrooding species is known so far only from a very small area in Thailand (Bori Pat). Here the fish inhabit brooks with soft and slightly acidic water. The water temperature there is around […]
This small species of cichlid attains a maximum length of about 10 cm. It belongs to the so-called red cichlids, but has a lilac basic body coloration. The species lives exclusively in the Lac Mai Ndombe in the D. R. Congo. There are usually no commercial importations of this species from that lake and so […]
This pretty new species of licorice gourami originates from Borneo (southeast Kalimantan). Here it can be found between Ampah and Muarateweh. The species is very close to P. filamentosus and becomes around 3 cm long. Like all licorice gouramis the species prefers small, single species tanks, soft and acidic water and fine live food. Females […]
We received fantastic wild collected fish of both species of Danio from Burma. They are close relatives of the well known zebra fish (Danio rerio), reach a comparable size and can be kept and bred in the very same way. Danio quagga has been thought to be a mere variety of D. kyathit for a […]
This pretty flying barb is imported only very occasionally. It originates from the north of India. The species attains a length of about 5 cm and is a peaceful schooling fish that uses to swim in the upper layers of the water column. The coloration of Chela cachius is very interesting. If there is a […]
We obtained very nice Discus Heckel in different sizes from the Uatuma river. The patterns of the individual fish vary a lot, but all of them have a lot of blue color in the horizontal stripes of the body. Even some blue headed fish are among these discus. All pictures are taken from fish that […]
We received once more the very rare dwarf suckermouth catfish Acestridium dichromum from Venezuela. The species attains a length of 5-6 cm only. The species could be called “chameleon dwarf sucker cat”, for it becomes bright green when sitting on plant leaves, but changes colour to brown within a few days when only roots and […]

Males can attain a maximum length of about 8 cm, females stay smaller. The fish originate from the Congo, but our fish are German bred ones. For our customers: […]
Once more we obtained a number of this beautiful livebearer, M. parae. Micropoecilia parae represents a wild form of livebearing fish, not a bred sport. The fish are not close relatives of the guppys and cannot be crossbred with them. The females of M. parae can be recognized by the shoulder spot. For our customers: […]
The funny name of the species, which has not been researched by scientists so far, derives from the collecting site, the Crique Sourourou in French Guyana. This Crique flows near the coast and is a tributary to the rivers Sinnamary and Kourou. It has been collected in 2002 by Wolfgang Staeck, who brought it to […]
We received very nice and stable wild collected red dwarf bushfish from the congo. The species belongs to the bubble-nest builders and becomes about 6-8 cm long. Currently the fish are 3-4 cm long. For our customers: the animals have code 115501 on our stocklist. Please note that we exclusively supply the wholesale trade. Text […]
Microctenopoma (Ctenopoma) ansorgii belongs reliably to the most beautiful bushfishes. The African bushfishes are the counterpart to the numerous labyrinth fish genera spread in Asia. Like their asiatic cousins they are bubble nest builders and the male will adopt the brood care. Their appetite is big and wild caughts need for acclimatizing strong living food. […]
This Cherax represents in all probability a still undescribed species. We received a small number of the attractive animal from Papua New Guinea. The crayfish are very pretty due to the rusty red spots on the back. The animal can be kept along with fish, but feeds often on plants. For our customers: the crayfish […]
Jutai is a municipality in western Brazil, named after the Rio Jutai, which is an affluent to the Amazon river.

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

The Catemaco Swordtail is a splendid, large species of swordtail. Females can reach a length up to 12 cm! The wonderful metallic golden shine is species-specific and led to the alternative popular name “Brass Swordtail” in the hobby, long before the species has been described scientifically. For our customers: the fish have code 420162 on […]
For the first time ever we can offer this beautiful species of blackwater Rasbora. The fish attains a maximum length of about 5 cm. In its natural habitat the species is restricted to peat swamps in the central parts of Kalimantan (the Indonesian part of Borneo). Here the pH is very low. Nevertheless the species […]

For our customers: the fish have code 418333 on our stocklist. Please note that we exclusively supply the wholesale trade. Text & photo: […]
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. This is due to the fact that Acnodon represents a type of fish that lives in open waters. This is also obvious from its typical pattern, consisting of thin vertical stripes […]
We received wonderful wild collected specimens from Borneo. The males have a lot of red in their basic coloration. Keeping and breeding are comparable to the better known close relative, Barbus pentazona. For our customers: the animals have code 370923 on our stocklist.

We received very pretty spotted silverdollars from Brazil. The particular variety is sexually differentiated at a very early stage. In our specimens, which are about 6 cm long, the sexes are already distinguished. The males have an orange spot on the shoulder, shining scales on the back and the outer border border of the anal […]
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. This means: a peaceful fish, undemanding regarding food and likes to swim in company of its own kind. For our customers: the […]
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 – […]

Both sexes of the variety we currently have in stock has black bands in the vertical fins. Males can be recognized best by the overall shape (larger and […]
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 […]
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. Whereas the males have a coloration similar to that of C. elegans, the females imitate the C. aeneus “Madre de Dios”. In contrast to many […]

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.

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!

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. The species is comparatively widespread in Central Africa. It has been reported from Angola, Benin, Nigeria, Cameroon, Gabon, and the D. R. Congo […]
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 […]
Zebra plecos from the Rio Xingu and its affluents are banned for exportation for years already. Even at the times when a legal exportation was possible, L236 from the Rio Iriri (an affluent of the Xingu) was extremely rare and only few specimens were caught per year. The specimens we currently have in stock are […]
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.
