name: peacock eel (macrognathus siamensis)
max size: up to 12 inches
water parameters: pH 6.5-7.5, temperature 75-82°F, soft to moderately hard water
diet: carnivorous – prefers live or frozen foods such as bloodworms, blackworms, earthworms, brine shrimp, and small crustaceans; some individuals can be trained to accept sinking carnivore pellets
temperament: peaceful and shy; generally non-aggressive toward fish too large to be considered prey
tank setup: soft sandy substrate is essential because peacock eels naturally burrow; provide driftwood, caves, plants, and plenty of hiding areas with gentle to moderate filtration; a tightly secured lid is important because they are excellent escape artists
compatibility: suitable with peaceful community fish of similar or larger size such as gouramis, rainbowfish, larger tetras, and peaceful catfish; very small fish and shrimp may be eaten
behavior: primarily nocturnal and often spends the daytime partially buried in sand or hiding among decor; becomes much more active when feeding or after the aquarium lights dim
fun fact: despite its name and snake-like appearance, the peacock eel is not a true eel at all—it belongs to the spiny eel family and gets its common name from the distinctive peacock-like eyespots near its tail.
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.
