White Rabbit Fish (Paradise Fish)
The white rabbit fish is the white colour form of the paradise fish (Macropodus opercularis) — a Chinese fighting-fish relative with a snow-white body, pinkish as it ages, and vermilion eyes. Pugnacious like a betta, it should not be mixed with other small fish; it is easy to keep at 24–28°C on a varied omnivorous diet.
White-edged Swallowtail Cichlid
The white-edged swallowtail is a small, silver-grey, schooling Lake Tanganyika cichlid with lyre-like (swallowtail) fins and a shy but peaceful temperament. Easy to keep and breed, it needs a large, planted tank, slightly alkaline water (pH 7.2–7.6) and calm tankmates.
Overlord Dwarf Cichlid
The Overlord dwarf cichlid (Apistogramma sp. aff. nijsseni) is a striking, metallic silver-blue South American dwarf cichlid named for its fierce, territorial temperament. Relatively easy to keep and breed, it needs soft acidic water, a planted tank with caves, and — because of its aggression — is best kept without other dwarf cichlids.
Eight-banded Butterflyfish
The eight-banded butterflyfish (Chaetodon octofasciatus) is a small, warm-water coral-reef butterflyfish named for its 8 black vertical bands. Ornamental only (never eaten), it is one of the harder reef species to keep and needs a mature reef aquascape plus coral-poly and algae-based feeding.
Australian Spotted Arowana
The Australian spotted arowana (Scleropages leichardti) — also called the spotted barramundi or northern saratoga — is a large, nocturnal, fiercely aggressive arowana from eastern and northern Australia. A carnivorous tank boss that needs a big aquarium, soft acidic-to-neutral water, and careful, varied feeding.
Australian Lungfish
The Australian lungfish (Neoceratodus forsteri), also called the Queensland lungfish, is the largest of the living lungfishes and a true 'living fossil' that breathes with both gills and a lung. Native to the rivers of Queensland, Australia, it is a protected species and not part of the ornamental aquarium trade.
Dusky Butterflyfish
The Dusky Butterflyfish (Chaetodon flavirostris), traded as the black butterflyfish or 'Australian emperor butterfly', is a dark-bodied, yellow-finned marine butterflyfish from Australia. Moderately difficult — its specialized, largely corallivorous diet makes acclimation the real challenge. Needs a 300 L+ reef-aware setup.
Japanese Butterflyfish
The Japanese butterflyfish (Chaetodon nippon), a small and comparatively easy butterflyfish marked by a crescent-shaped black blotch on the rear of its body. A temperate species happiest below 26°C, omnivorous and suited to a reef-style aquarium of at least 190 L.
