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.
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.
White-lipped Mud Turtle
A strikingly pretty mud-turtle relative - the 'mango-head' morph can flush yellow onto limbs and shell. Friendly and mid-priced, but it cannot brumate and must be kept heated year-round.
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.
Impressed Tortoise
A large, temperamental Southeast Asian forest tortoise (Manouria impressa) - China's Grade II protected, wild-caught and declining; not recommended for keepers.
Beal’s Eyed Turtle
A rare, China-endemic, largely vegetarian water turtle with four 'eye-spots' on its head - sensitive to water quality and of conservation concern.
Yunnan Box Turtle
A Chinese endemic box turtle once thought extinct and now among the rarest, most expensive turtles - effectively not a legal pet trade animal.
Burmese Python
A giant constrictor that can exceed 5 m - impressive but a serious, space- and budget-intensive commitment, and a CITES-listed species.
Green Sea Turtle
The classic sea turtle of tropical seas and a conservation success story in progress - a protected, ocean-going species that belongs in the wild.
Ornate Horned Frog
The 'Pacman frog' - a round, big-mouthed, voracious amphibian (not a reptile) that sits and waits to ambush. Easy to keep, but handle minimally.
