Fun Fact: Hygrophila Compacta, scientifically known as Hygrophila corymbosa 'Compacta,' is a versatile and compact aquatic plant in the aquarium hobby. It is appreciated for its attractive appearance and ease of care.

Hygrophila Compacta is characterized by its bushy growth habit and small, lance-shaped leaves. Its dense growth and vibrant green color make it a popular choice for aquarists seeking to fill in space and add texture to their aquascapes.

This plant is suitable for both beginners and experienced aquarists due to its adaptability and ease of care. It can thrive in a wide range of water conditions and lighting levels, though moderate to high lighting is recommended for its best growth and coloration.

Positioned in the midground to background of the aquarium, Hygrophila Compacta can create a lush and vibrant backdrop, adding depth to the aquascape. Its relatively small size makes it suitable for various aquarium sizes.

While Hygrophila Compacta can grow well without CO2 supplementation, providing additional CO2 can lead to faster growth and more compact foliage. Regular fertilization and nutrient-rich substrate also contribute to its overall health and vibrancy.

Propagation of Hygrophila Compacta can be accomplished by cuttings that are replanted. These cuttings will root and develop into new plants, allowing Hygrophila Compacta to spread and create dense and visually appealing clusters.

Overall, Hygrophila Compacta is an excellent choice for aquarists looking to add a compact and visually appealing midground to background plant to their freshwater aquarium. Its bushy growth and adaptability make it a favored choice for creating lush and attractive aquascapes.

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.
