Fun Fact: The Kleiner Bar Sword is a popular hybrid sword plant known for its deep reddish-bronze leaves. The name βKleiner Barβ means βLittle Bearβ in German, and the plant was developed through selective breeding to achieve its vibrant coloration and compact growth habit.
Appearance: It has broad, oval-shaped leaves that emerge with a reddish to bronze hue and can darken with maturity. Its compact rosette form makes it stand out in planted aquariums.
Habitat: As a hybrid, Kleiner Bar Sword does not occur in nature but was cultivated for aquarium use. It is based on species native to South America, where sword plants are typically found in slow-moving rivers and flooded regions.
Aquarium Use: Ideal as a focal point in the background of medium to large tanks. It adds bold color and texture, especially in tanks with green or lighter plants.
Care: Requires moderate lighting and benefits from root tabs or a nutrient-rich substrate to maintain healthy growth. While it does not demand CO2, it will grow faster and develop deeper coloration with CO2 and liquid fertilization.
Propagation: Propagates through adventitious plantlets that grow on flowering stalks. These can be removed and replanted once roots form.
Note: Kleiner Bar Sword is generally undisturbed by most herbivorous fish, making it a hardy and attractive choice for community tanks. Its rich coloration and easy care make it a favorite among aquascaping enthusiasts.
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.
