name: amazon leaf fish (monocirrhus polyacanthus)
max size: up to 4 inches
water parameters: pH 5.0-6.8, temperature 75-82°F, very soft to moderately soft water
diet: carnivorous – specialized predator that strongly prefers live foods, particularly small fish, shrimp, and aquatic invertebrates; some individuals may eventually accept frozen meaty foods
temperament: generally peaceful toward fish it cannot eat, but highly predatory toward smaller tank mates
tank setup: heavily planted aquarium with driftwood, branches, leaf litter, floating plants, and subdued lighting; gentle water movement and stable, clean water are important
compatibility: best kept in a species-focused aquarium or with peaceful fish too large to swallow; avoid small tetras, rasboras, guppies, and other bite-sized tank mates
behavior: highly specialized ambush predator that slowly drifts through the water while imitating a dead leaf, approaching prey almost unnoticed before striking extremely quickly
fun fact: the amazon leaf fish is such an effective mimic that it not only resembles a dead leaf in shape and coloration, but even swims at odd angles and gently sways to imitate a leaf drifting through the water.
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.
