Name: Six Banded Distichodus (Distichodus sexfasciatus)
Max Size: Up to 20 inches
Water Parameters: pH 6.5-7.5, temperature 75-82°F, hardness 5-15 dGH
Diet: Omnivorous – consumes plant matter, algae, fruits, and small invertebrates. Requires a varied diet including vegetables, high-quality pellets, and occasional protein sources like shrimp or worms.
Temperament: Semi-aggressive and territorial, especially with similar-shaped fish. Best kept with robust tank mates.
Tank Setup: Requires a large aquarium with plenty of swimming space and strong filtration. Driftwood, rocks, and sturdy plants (or artificial ones) are recommended, as they may eat delicate live plants.
Compatibility: Best suited for large community tanks with other robust species such as large cichlids, bichirs, and catfish. Avoid small or delicate fish that may be harassed.
Behavior: Active swimmer that can be both curious and territorial. May become aggressive when establishing dominance, especially in confined spaces.
Fun Fact: The Six Banded Distichodus is often mistaken for a peaceful schooling fish when young, but as it matures, it develops a more solitary and territorial nature, requiring ample space to thrive.
Perhaps the best store on island to get freshwater fish. They have a huge variety, including higher end freshwater fish (discus, puffers, flowerhorns , oddballs, ect) I’ve stocked a few tanks with their fish. They quarantine well and keep it real on how their fish are doing in shop.

Had a great experience here. I was looking for a unicorn/alicorn betta and spoke with the owner, Josh, about it. I ended up using his fish importing services to import a fish from Jakarta, and he brought in a few more white opaque or unicorn type half moon bettas too, to add to the variety in store. I got a sneak peak of the store while it was shut down for one week for a proper quarantine of its new fish. The owner knows his fish and keeps them healthy. A very different experience from a Petco or PetSmart! A Petco employee even recommended I go here for more unique betta fish. Note that they carry other types of fish too, plus Aquatic plants and some aquarium equipment. Pictured are some of the giant bettas, the alicorn betta, and i believe a beautiful ram.

The owner, Josh, is not just knowledgeable about the fish, but also plants and tank issues. I am new to fish tanks and he has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions to make my experience easier. Parking is a bit tricky, but certainly worth it.

They have rare plants you can't find at most places. Got lucky we got a few; my husband is happy. This is one of his favorite places. They get pretty busy, so be patient. The staff are very helpful.
