Spotted Barramundi (Scleropages leichardti)
The spotted barramundi (Scleropages leichardti), commonly called the Australian spotted lungfish, reaches about 50 cm and is extremely aggressive—it can bite fish much larger than itself, so watch carefully when mixed-keeping.
Green Arowana
The Green Arowana is the gentle, pale green-silver variety of the Asian arowana — less vivid and less costly than the golden or red forms, but unusually peaceful and mixable with other large fish. A big fish needing a covered 1.5 m tank at pH 6–7 and 25°C, it lives 10–12 years on a carnivorous diet of shrimp, insects, and lean meat.
Black Ranchu
The Black Ranchu is a Japanese fancy goldfish bred from the Ranchu and the hooded Shouxing, combining a very thick head wen with the Ranchu's elegant, tailless body. Easy to keep in emerald-green water, it is omnivorous and peaceful, but prone to anchor worm, water mold, and white spot.
Koi
Koi (Cyprinus carpio) are ornamental carp kept worldwide as pond fish and symbols of good fortune. Hardy and long-lived — often 60 to 70 years — they are relatively easy to keep, but steady water quality, correct temperature, and a good diet are what keep their colors vivid and their health strong.
Blood Parrot Cichlid
The blood parrot (a man-made cichlid hybrid, also called the God of Wealth fish) is vivid red and chubby, easy to keep, and sensitive to temperature swings. Keep it at 26–27 °C with red-enhancing pellets.
Cranwell’s Horned Frog
The Cranwell's horned frog (Ceratophrys cranwelli) is one of the most commonly kept horned frogs, native to South America. With its big body, short limbs, and warty skin, it is easy to keep and a great choice for beginners, though it must never be housed with other frogs.
Pink-ringed Tent Turtle
The Pink-ringed Tent Turtle (Pangshura tentoria) is a striking high-domed turtle with pink cheeks and a pink ring around its carapace, but it is delicate, with hatchling mortality often above 80%, mostly from skin rot. Best suited to experienced keepers who can provide stable temperatures and a basking area.
Brown Roofed Turtle
The Brown Roofed Turtle (Pangshura smithii) is a relatively uncommon member of the roofed turtle genus, comprising two subspecies—the nominate Smith's roofed turtle and the white-footed roofed turtle, distinguished by the absence of black markings on its plastron. A semi-aquatic omnivore, it inhabits riverbed mud across the Indian subcontinent and enjoys basking.
