Name: Green Knifefish (Eigenmannia virescens) Β
Max Size: Up to 12 inches Β
Water Parameters: pH 6.0-7.5, temperature 75-82Β°F, hardness 3-12 dGH Β
Diet: Carnivorous β primarily feeds on live or frozen foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, small fish, and insect larvae. Can sometimes be trained to accept high-quality sinking pellets. Β
Temperament: Generally peaceful but can be territorial with other knifefish. Best kept in a species-only tank or with other non-aggressive, similarly sized fish. Β
Tank Setup: Requires a spacious aquarium with plenty of hiding spots, such as caves, driftwood, and dense plants. A soft sandy substrate is recommended, along with subdued lighting to mimic their natural nocturnal environment. Β
Compatibility: Can coexist with peaceful, mid-to-top dwelling fish like larger tetras, peaceful cichlids, and gouramis. Avoid aggressive or overly active species that may outcompete them for food. Β
Behavior: Nocturnal and shy, often hiding during the day and becoming more active at night. Uses weak electric fields to navigate and detect prey in low-light conditions. Β
Fun Fact: Green Knifefish are one of the few freshwater fish that use electrical signals to communicate and sense their surroundings, making them a fascinating addition to an aquarium.
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) Iβve 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.
