Uaru Cichlid
Also known as the Black Cloud fish, the Uaru cichlid is a species that becomes more beautiful with age. Juveniles are nearly black with white speckles, but once they exceed 10 cm in length, their appearance begins to transform dramatically—males develop more vivid coloration than females.
Clown Loach
Also known as the Crown Loach or simply 'Clown,' the clown loach can reach 30 cm in the wild but typically only grows to about 10–12 cm in an aquarium. With its gentle temperament, it should not be housed with aggressive species.
Toadfish
The toadfish shares the same body shape as the lionfish, with an enormous head that can account for up to one-third of its total body length. Also known as the freshwater lionfish, this species is remarkable for its ability to change body coloration to match its surroundings.
Brivis Dwarf Cichlid
The Brivis dwarf cichlid (Apistogramma brivis) is a Brazilian apisto loved for its golden, earthy-yellow body with yellow-blue gill markings and red-spotted fins. A bottom-dweller that is fairly easy to keep, it needs soft acidic water (pH ~5.5), a planted tank with hiding spots, and meaty foods to show its best colour.
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.
Eastern Painted Turtle
One of four painted-turtle subspecies - smaller, plainer and a bit harder to keep than the western form, but a classic, hardy North American pet with a red-edged shell.
