Fun Fact: Dwarf Baby Tears is one of the smallest known aquarium plants and is prized for creating lush, green carpets in aquascaping. It was popularized by renowned aquascaper Takashi Amano and often used in Nature Aquarium-style layouts.
Appearance: This plant features tiny, bright green round leaves that grow densely along creeping stems. When given enough light and CO2, it forms a compact, cushion-like carpet across the substrate.
Habitat: Native to Cuba, typically found in shallow, slow-moving streams and wet rocks where it receives bright sunlight.
Aquarium Use: Ideal for creating foreground carpets and covering hardscape. When grown emersed in humid conditions, itβs also commonly used in paludariums and Wabi-Kusa arrangements.
Care: Requires stable CO2 injection, high light intensity, and a rich substrate. Without proper conditions, it can melt or grow unevenly. Consistent maintenance, trimming, and nutrient dosing are necessary to prevent it from becoming overgrown or shaded.
Propagation: Easily propagated by trimming and replanting small clumps or allowing runners to spread across the substrate.
Note: Due to its high demands, Dwarf Baby Tears is best suited for experienced aquarists or dedicated planted tank setups. When successfully established, it creates one of the most visually appealing and naturalistic scenes in 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.
