Product Information

They will leap out of the water if frightened, so the aquarium must have a secure and tight fitting lid to keep the fish from flying out of the tank. The black phantom tetra gets its name from its "eye patch" behind the gills as if a phantom is peering back at you, but don't worry, despite its name, it is a peaceful schooling fish. They are usually kept by themselves in a heavily planted aquarium of at least five gallons, or two to three can be kept in a ten gallon aquarium. A newer addition to the aquarium hobby, the Pea Puffer is a small but mighty member of the pufferfish family.

Also known as the Purple-Headed Barb, the Black Ruby Barb has a distinct deep red coloration not commonly seen in other aquarium fishes. The best skill any guppy owner can learn is to tell the difference between males and females to keep populations from exploding. Most gouramis are medium-sized fish, but the Dwarf Gourami, as the name suggests, tops out at only 2 inches.They are carnivores, so do well on a diet of frozen blood worms, brine shrimp and other meaty foods, and may eat small fish food pellets. These fish do well in temperate tanks with Zebrafish and goldfish, provided they are not snack size. The translucent, silvery body of the glowlight tetra is divided by an iridescent red-gold stripe running from snout to tail. Hatchetfish have a very unique, compressed body shape, known for flying over the top of the water using their wing-like fins.

There are many species within the Cichlid family, but relatively few that stay small in size and can be kept in a community aquarium. Usually several females can be kept together in an aquarium with other fish species, but sometimes even female bettas may fight each other.

Then, make sure the fish you add are properly acclimated, and that you watch your fish closely to be sure they are thriving. The Harlequin Rasbora is a small, schooling fish with a vibrant ruby coloration, contrasted with a black marking on the back half of its body, giving it the two-toned 'harlequin' appearance.
