A grab-bag of fantail-type goldfish in red, orange, calico and white. Coldwater fish — no heater needed. Do best in 20+ gallons with strong filtration since they're messy eaters. Omnivores; sinking pellets plus the occasional veggie.

Fancy goldfish with the signature raspberry-like wen (head growth) starting to come in. Coldwater, 20+ gallons, heavy filtration. Keep the wen clear of debris to avoid irritation.

Halfmoon-type betta with a metallic, dalmatian-style speckled pattern. Solo fish — bettas are territorial with their own kind. 5+ gallons, gentle filtration.

A big-bodied halfmoon variant that grows noticeably larger than a standard betta. Same care as any betta — solo, 5+ gallons — just budget more swimming room.

Splashy koi-patterned female bettas. Females can be kept in a female-only group ('sorority') of 5+ in a 20+ gallon with plenty of visual breaks, or singly.

A hardy, personable Central American cichlid that gets territorial with size. Wants 55+ gallons as an adult, sand or fine gravel, and rock work it can rearrange to its liking. Omnivore.

A South American eartheater known for sifting sand through its gills looking for food. Peaceful for a cichlid — good with similarly sized tankmates. Wants soft sand substrate and sinking foods.

A Central American cichlid with a mottled marble pattern. Semi-aggressive and territorial as it matures — plan for 75+ gallons with solid rockwork hiding spots.

A dark, iridescent color form of the German blue ram. Peaceful dwarf cichlid for planted community tanks, but wants warm, stable water, soft and slightly acidic.

A large, striking Central American cichlid with a shimmering silver-white body. This is a juvenile now, but plans on 75-90 gallons as an adult — territorial and best with similarly robust tankmates.

A compact, peaceful gourami with warm red-orange coloring. Great community fish for planted tanks; shy at first but settles in with floating cover and calm tankmates.

One of the smallest gouramis in the hobby. Peaceful and quiet — perfect for nano planted tanks. Best kept in small groups with gentle flow and lots of cover.

Long-finned guppy mix in a variety of colors and tail patterns. Easy, prolific livebearers for community tanks. Will breed readily — plan for fry if you keep both sexes.

A vividly patterned Endler's livebearer variety. Same easygoing care as a standard guppy but stays smaller. Great starter fish for planted community tanks.

Another sharp Endler's color strain, with iridescent green-gold flanks. Peaceful, hardy, and a prolific breeder — a natural pair with the Blue Star Endlers coming in this week.

A flat-bodied, sucker-mouthed loach built for fast, cool, well-oxygenated water. Wants strong current and high dissolved oxygen — a powerhead or wavemaker helps it thrive. Grazes algae off hardscape.

One of our best-selling rainbows — an iridescent blue schooling fish with red-orange fins on mature males. Keep 6+ together in a 20-gallon long or larger. Easy, colorful, and a great planted-tank centerpiece school.

A freshwater 'shark' with a torpedo body and bold black-and-orange coloring. Territorial toward its own kind and bottom-dwelling tankmates — keep one per tank with plenty of caves to claim.

A tiny, fully aquatic crab with fuzzy tufts on its claws — not the marine anemone-carrying pom pom crab. Peaceful and easy in a 5-10 gallon nano with a secure lid; it climbs. Calcium supplementation helps its shell.

A rich, solid-blue Neocaridina shrimp variety. Same easy care as cherry shrimp — stable, mature, sponge-filtered tanks with no copper-based medications. Great for planted nano tanks.

One of our top-selling snail lines — nerites are the gold standard for algae control and won't breed in freshwater. Peaceful with everything, needs a tight-fitting lid since they wander.

Bold red-striped nerite with the same reliable algae-eating habits as the rest of the nerite family. Freshwater-only breeding, so no snail population booms.

Distinctive banded pattern on this nerite variety. Tireless glass and hardscape cleaner; peaceful with fish, plants, and shrimp alike.

A larger nerite with raised spiky ridges on the shell. Same low-maintenance algae patrol as other nerites, in a standout shell shape.

Multi-colored horned nerite variety — a nice change-up from the standard zebra pattern. Easy algae eater, freshwater safe.

A hardy black damsel with three bright white spots that fade with age. Extremely tough and a great starter fish for cycling a new tank — but territorial once established.

A rich chocolate-brown designer clownfish, captive-bred. Hosts in anemones if offered but does fine without one. Easy, hardy, and a great community reef fish.

A striking, near-solid dark designer clown with faint ghost-like barring. Captive-bred and easy — standard clownfish care, peaceful in pairs.

A premium orange designer clown with an extended, irregular white 'Picasso' blaze. Hardy captive-bred fish, ideal centerpiece for a reef or FOWLR display.

A mix of classic reef damsels — tough, colorful, and a great way to cycle a new saltwater tank. Can get scrappy with each other and other damsels once established.

A tiny inch-long goby with a fuzzy red head and green eyes that naturally shelters in branching coral. Advanced care — best in an established reef with Stylophora or similar coral for it to host in.

One of the most colorful fairy wrasses in the trade, with a red head fading into a blue-green body. Peaceful reef-safe fish that won't touch corals or inverts — but a proven jumper, so a tight-fitting lid is a must.

Classic reef clean-up crew member — grazes algae film off glass and rock nonstop. Reef safe and easy; just make sure there are spare shells around for them to upgrade into.

A stunning specialist predator that eats only starfish — nothing else, not coral, not fish. Reef safe, but you must be able to feed it live starfish regularly or it will starve. Advanced, dedicated-diet species only.

A reef-safe scavenger best known for eating Aiptasia (pest anemones). Peaceful, easy, and a great addition to almost any established reef tank.

A small predatory snail that hunts bristleworms and other pests in the sand bed. Generally reef safe, though it may also pick off other small snails and pods if food runs short.

A hardy, easy-care sea star with raised nodules across its arms. Not reef safe — it will eat soft corals, sponges, clams, and other sessile invertebrates. Best for a fish-only or FOWLR system, 50+ gallons.

One of our top-selling inverts — constantly patrols the sand bed eating detritus and leftover food. Reef safe, but needs an established tank (6+ months) with a deep, mature sand bed or it can starve out.
