Freshwater Overview
Freshwater Fish
We source our fish from the best fish farms. We typically get 4 or 5 shipments a week. We cherry-pick from every supplier. We treat, feed, and clean every day. We log everything and stay on top of it. We try to offer everything cool we can get. You may request things you don’t see, and we will call you if we can get them! Below is a list of the types of freshwater aquariums you can keep.

Community
Community tanks typically have lots of variety of friendly peaceful fish. Common families include Tetras, Rasboras, Rainbows, Danios, Barbs, Platys, Guppies, etc.
Semi-Aggressive
Semi-aggressive tanks have lots of variety of fish that can be a bit fiesty, but compatible with one another. We like to think of it as having all your fish in the same “weight class.” Sharks, Gourami’s, Angels, Catfish are all examples of these kinds of fish.
Brackish
Brackish water fish like some salt in their water. 2 teaspoons per gallon will enable you to keep brackish fish along with freshwater so you have more variety. These guys are sort of exotic, and include favorites like Puffers, Archers, Scats, Mono’s, Gobies, and Gars.
South/Central American Cichlids
South and Central American Cichlids are among the smartest of all freshwater fish. Many of them get big and are belligerent, others are small and shy. Famous examples include Oscars, Jack Dempsey’s, Convicts, Parrots, and Rams.
African Cichlids
Probably the most colorful group of all freshwater fish, African Cichlids are well suited for the type of water we have in this area. High PH and Alkaline water is their preference. They breed easily and include favorites like Electric Yellows and Electric Blues and hundreds of others.
Odd-Ball
Odd-ball fish are typically apex predators that eat other fish. Many of them get big, and have interesting unusual shapes. Some examples include Lungfish, Arowana, Shovel-nose Cats, Clown-knifes, and Alligator Gars.
Planted Aquariums
Planted aquariums require extra light, softer water, reduced PH, and fertilization. The underwater jungle effect is very rewarding.
Goldfish
Just like dogs, Goldfish have been selectively bred by humans for a long time. Many different interesting types of Goldfish are available for you to enjoy.
Species Tank
Keeping just one type of fish in your aquarium is a species tank. You would do this if the fish had very special requirements, or if you just love one kind of fish that much.
