Fun Fact: Devil Eye Sword is an eye-catching Echinodorus cultivar known for producing dramatic red, bronze, and burgundy new leaves. As the foliage matures, the coloration can deepen or transition toward darker green, creating multiple colors within the same rosette.

Appearance: Devil Eye Sword develops broad, elongated leaves arranged in a dense rosette. New leaves can display vivid reddish to burgundy coloration, while mature foliage may develop bronze, olive, or dark green tones.

Aquarium Use: Excellent as a colorful centerpiece or midground-to-background specimen. Its broad foliage and warm coloration provide a strong visual contrast against fine-leaved and bright green aquarium plants.

Propagation: Mature plants may produce flower stalks containing daughter plantlets. Once these plantlets develop several leaves and a healthy root system, they can be separated and replanted.

Note: Devil Eye Sword is a heavy root feeder. A nutrient-rich substrate or regular root-tab fertilization will help maintain vigorous growth and attractive coloration. Removing older outer leaves periodically encourages fresh growth from the center of the rosette.

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.
