White Cloud Mountain Minnow
The White Cloud Mountain Minnow (Tanichthys albonubes) is a tiny, gentle, and easy-to-keep freshwater fish first discovered on Baiyun Mountain in Guangzhou, China. It is cold-tolerant, schooling, and a classic beginner tropical fish.
Archerfish
Also known as the 'Spray Gun Fish,' the archerfish is a classic brackish-water species commonly found in aquarium shops at affordable prices. Its distinctive bulging eyes allow it to see not only surface objects but also aerial targets above the waterline.
Hatchetfish
Also known as the Swallow Fish, Chest-Knife Fish, or Sternoptyx, the hatchetfish is a group of unusually shaped small freshwater fishes. Its body is extremely laterally compressed with a greatly protruding belly, giving it the silhouette of an ancient stone axe—hence the name.
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.
White Rabbit Fish (Paradise Fish)
The white rabbit fish is the white colour form of the paradise fish (Macropodus opercularis) — a Chinese fighting-fish relative with a snow-white body, pinkish as it ages, and vermilion eyes. Pugnacious like a betta, it should not be mixed with other small fish; it is easy to keep at 24–28°C on a varied omnivorous diet.
White-edged Swallowtail Cichlid
The white-edged swallowtail is a small, silver-grey, schooling Lake Tanganyika cichlid with lyre-like (swallowtail) fins and a shy but peaceful temperament. Easy to keep and breed, it needs a large, planted tank, slightly alkaline water (pH 7.2–7.6) and calm tankmates.
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.
