name: threadfin acara (acarichthys heckelii)

max size: up to 8 inches

water parameters: pH 6.0-7.5, temperature 75-82°F, soft to moderately hard water

diet: omnivorous – eats high quality pellets, flakes, and live or frozen foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and small crustaceans; also benefits from occasional vegetable matter

temperament: generally peaceful but can be mildly territorial, especially during breeding

tank setup: spacious aquarium with a sandy substrate for natural sifting behavior; include driftwood, rocks, and caves for cover; strong filtration and regular water changes are important

compatibility: suitable with other peaceful to moderately aggressive fish such as larger tetras, cichlids, and catfish; avoid very small fish that may be eaten

behavior: bottom-oriented and constantly sifts sand through its mouth while searching for food; males develop long, thread-like fin extensions

fun fact: the threadfin acara gets its name from the long trailing filaments on the dorsal fin of mature males, which give it a very elegant and distinctive look

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.

Wonderful shop with lots of variety. Has the most unique selection of fish on the island, and at a reasonable price! Staff is friendly and very helpful when we have questions or concerns. Love coming here and seeing the jokes around the store. Also, Vinnie!

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.
