Electric Blue Prince Cichlid
At least five geographic variants of the Electric Blue Prince exist, all native to Lake Malawi in East Africa. With its gentle temperament and ease of keeping alongside other community fish, this mbuna cichlid enjoys consistently positive reviews among hobbyists.
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.
Angonoka (Ploughshare) Tortoise
One of the world's ten most endangered turtles - fewer than 1,000 left in Madagascar, CITES I, and effectively not tradable. Education-only profile.
Pig-nosed Turtle
A bizarre, soft-shelled, flipper-limbed 'fly river turtle' that looks more like a turtle-bream hybrid - fully aquatic, sensitive to water quality, and a committed non-basker.
Rhinoceros Iguana
A big, grey, horned iguana from Hispaniola - prehistoric-looking, long-lived, and a serious commitment for experienced lizard keepers.
Black Spiny-tailed Iguana
The Black Spiny-tailed Iguana (Ctenosaura similis) reaches about 1 m as an adult, gray with black cross-bands, though mainly green as a juvenile. Diurnal and arboreal, it is more aggressive than the green iguana and needs long taming — not for beginners or homes with young children.
Blue Acara (Aequidens pulcher)
The blue acara (Aequidens pulcher) is gentle, but aggressive and territorial during breeding. It digs in the substrate; outside the breeding season it is calm and quiet and can be mixed with other ornamental fish.
Jewel Cichlid (Hemichromis bimaculatus)
The jewel cichlid (Hemichromis bimaculatus) is vividly colored—especially the female during spawning. Beyond ornament, it is kept as a lab animal. Its temper is fierce and territorial, so caution is needed when mixing with other fish.
Pudding Hamster
The Pudding Hamster is a popular pet variety named for its pudding-yellow coat. Gentle and easy to handle, it is heat-sensitive, territorial, and can nip — so wash your hands before handling and never co-house it. It lives 1–3 years and needs steady 20–28°C and careful, chew-safe feeding.
Golden Arowana
The Golden Arowana is an ancient, gold-scaled Asian arowana kept as a feng-shui 'underwater overlord.' Fiercely territorial and best kept alone in a covered tank at 28°C, it lives 10–20 years; slow growth builds the densest, brightest gold sheen, fed on small fish and shrimp rather than insects.
