Fun Fact: Mayaca fluviatilis is often mistaken for a moss or fine-leaved Cabomba due to its soft, hair-like appearance. Its delicate green foliage adds a graceful, flowing texture to planted aquariums.
Appearance: This plant features fine, needle-like leaves arranged in whorls around a slender stem. The overall look is bushy and soft, creating a gentle movement in the current.
Habitat: Native to Central and South America, it grows in slow-moving rivers, streams, and marshes where the water is soft and slightly acidic.
Aquarium Use: Ideal for adding texture and softness to the aquascape. It works well in nature-style and Dutch-style layouts and can be planted in groups for a dense, bushy effect.
Care: Mayaca prefers soft, slightly acidic water and benefits from regular liquid fertilization. It grows quickly with proper lighting and nutrients, making it ideal for nutrient absorption and algae prevention.
Propagation: Easily propagated by cutting the stems and replanting the trimmed tops into the substrate.
Note: Because of its fine leaves, Mayaca can be fragile during handling and transport. Itβs best suited for aquarists who can provide consistent care and a stable environment.
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.
