Diet: Carnivorous - primarily feeds on small fish, crustaceans, and insect larvae. In the aquarium, they should be fed a variety of high-quality pellets, flakes, frozen or live foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and small fish.
Temperament: Semi-aggressive. They are territorial, especially towards others of the same species or similar appearance.
Tank Setup: Provide a tank with plenty of rock formations to create caves and hiding spots. A sandy substrate is recommended to mimic their natural habitat in Lake Malawi. Good filtration is essential to maintain water quality due to their protein-rich diet.
Compatibility: Best kept with other similarly sized and temperamented Malawi cichlids. Avoid keeping with overly aggressive species or much smaller fish that could become prey.
Behavior: OB Compressiceps are known for their striking appearance and interesting behavior. They often stay close to rocks and are ambush predators, waiting for an opportunity to strike at unsuspecting prey.
Fun Fact: The "OB" in OB Compressiceps refers to "Orange Blotched," describing the unique and vibrant coloration that includes patches of orange and black over a blue or grey body. This patterning makes them highly sought after in the aquarium trade for their decorative appeal.
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.
