Water Parameters: pH 6.5-7.5, temperature 75-82°F, hardness 5-15 dGH
Diet: Carnivorous – primarily eats live and frozen foods such as shrimp, fish, worms, and insects. Can be trained to accept high-quality carnivore pellets over time.
Temperament: Semi-aggressive and predatory, especially toward smaller fish. Generally not aggressive toward similarly sized or larger tank mates.
Tank Setup: Requires a very large tank with open swimming space and hiding spots such as caves, driftwood, and dense plants. Prefers dim lighting and a soft substrate. Strong filtration is necessary due to its high waste production.
Compatibility: Best kept with other large, robust fish such as arowanas, large catfish, and bichirs. Avoid small or slow-moving fish that can be seen as prey.
Behavior: Nocturnal and shy when young, but becomes more active and confident as it grows. Moves gracefully using its long anal fin, giving it a distinctive swimming pattern.
Fun Fact: The Clown Knifefish can swim both forward and backward with ease, using its elongated anal fin to maneuver effortlessly through the water.
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.

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.
