Name: Marbled Ghost Knifefish (Apteronotus albifrons var.)
Max Size: Up to 18 inches
Water Parameters: pH 6.0-7.5, temperature 75-82°F, hardness 3-12 dGH
Diet: Carnivorous – primarily feeds on live or frozen foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and small fish. May accept high-quality sinking pellets and gel-based foods over time.
Temperament: Generally peaceful but can be territorial with other knifefish. Best kept in a large, well-structured tank with ample hiding spaces.
Tank Setup: Requires a spacious aquarium with plenty of driftwood, caves, and plants for shelter. A soft sandy substrate is ideal, and subdued lighting helps mimic their nocturnal nature.
Compatibility: Best suited for tanks with peaceful, similarly sized fish such as larger tetras, peaceful cichlids, and gouramis. Avoid highly aggressive species or fin-nipping fish.
Behavior: Nocturnal and shy, often hiding during the day and becoming active at night. Uses electrical signals to navigate and detect prey in low-light conditions.
Fun Fact: Like other knifefish, the Marbled Ghost Knifefish generates weak electric fields to sense its surroundings, making it one of the more unique freshwater fish in the aquarium hobby.
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.
