Fairy Cory
The fairy cory (Corydoras atropersonatus) — also called the white leopard or black-headed cory — is a tiny, peaceful, bottom-dwelling South American catfish with a unique fluorescent-white sheen.

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.

Large-headed Turtle
A Chinese-endemic 'big-head' turtle that looks like a Reeves' but with a huge triangular head it cannot retract - a threatened, somewhat delicate water turtle.

Marginated Tortoise
The largest Mediterranean tortoise, with a fan-like flared rear shell - temperate-climate friendly and a good (if winter-careful) European tortoise.
Splendid Japalure (Liyue Dragon Lizard)
A pretty but fragile Chinese mountain lizard - mostly wild-caught, a protected 'three-have' species, and hard to keep alive. Look, don't buy.
Golden-headed Box Turtle
A critically endangered, golden-capped Chinese box turtle so rare that wild individuals are essentially gone - a species now dependent on captive breeding.
