Fun Fact: Hornwort is one of the most widely distributed aquatic plants in the world and has been found on every continent except Antarctica. It grows rapidly, making it excellent for absorbing excess nutrients and helping control algae.
Appearance: Hornwort has long, branching stems covered in fine, feathery green leaves that resemble soft pine needles. It lacks true roots but develops modified leaves that can anchor it into substrate if desired.
Habitat: Naturally found in lakes, ponds, and slow-moving rivers, Hornwort floats beneath the surface or forms dense mats in freshwater environments.
Aquarium Use: Hornwort is commonly used as a background plant or a floating cover for fry and shy fish. Its dense structure offers excellent hiding places and can provide shade to help reduce algae growth.
Care: Extremely hardy and adaptable. It grows quickly in a wide range of water conditions and lighting levels. No substrate is required, and it can thrive even in low-tech aquariums.
Propagation: Easily propagated by cutting a section of the stem and allowing it to grow independently.
Note: Due to its fast growth, regular trimming may be needed. It can also release allelopathic chemicals that inhibit algae and sometimes the growth of nearby plants, so itβs best used with compatible species.
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.
