A quick video highlighting both the famous Melanotaenia jakora, as well as the brand new species from Jakora/Yakorra village. M. jakora comes from tannic pools, while Kali Pandan hails from clearwater streams. Check out the first and only import (so far) of the newly discovered Melanotaenia sp. Kali Pandan. Discovered by Sius Mitan and Rafik Firdaus.

Some of the most colorful little fish you can pack into your aquariums. Some of these still command a high price, but some have become more accessible. From the feisty Inferal Tetra to the famous Hyphessobrycon peugeoti. Hopefully my images of the peugeoti have made other aquarists drool a little bit.

Some of the amazing African and Congo tetra species I have kept:

There are quite apparent differences between two forms of Alestopetersius "brichardi" that are imported into the US. The Red form grows much larger, sporting blood red fins and larger teeth and eye morphology. The Blue form attains a slightly smaller size with orange fins, brilliant blue bodies and a proportionally thicker black midlateral line to their body size. Could brichardi blue be something else?

My favorite rainbowfish of all time and a species I line bred from Gary Lange. Check out my quick highlight of one of the most eye popping rainbowfish I have ever seen:

Ivanacara bimaculata, one of the best additions to the hobby in recent years. Although old to science, it is just now being available globally for aquarists. To better highlight the species, I am keeping editing as low as possible. After keeping this incredible cichlid for the past couple years, I just wanted to highlight its beauty and document a bit of its story before reaching commercial success in the US. The larger pair highlighted in is the F1 pair that I imported from
