Sailfin Tetra for sale near me
Name: Sailfin Tetra (Crenuchus spilurus)
Max Size: Up to 2.5 inches
Water Parameters: pH 6.0-7.5, temperature 72-79Β°F, hardness 2-15 dGH
Diet: Omnivorous - enjoys a varied diet including high-quality flakes, small pellets, and live or frozen foods such as daphnia, brine shrimp, and bloodworms.
Temperament: Generally peaceful but may exhibit mild territorial behavior, especially among males. Best kept in groups of 6 or more to encourage natural schooling behavior and reduce aggression.
Tank Setup: Provide a well-planted tank with plenty of open swimming space and areas with dense vegetation or driftwood for hiding. A dark substrate enhances their colors, and gentle water flow mimics their natural river habitats.
Compatibility: Sailfin Tetras are peaceful and do well in community tanks with similarly sized, non-aggressive fish such as rasboras, other tetras, and corydoras. Avoid housing them with overly aggressive or fin-nipping species.
Behavior: Active and social, Sailfin Tetras are mid-level swimmers that often form loose schools. Males may display their impressive dorsal fins during courtship or territorial displays, making them a beautiful and dynamic addition to aquariums.
Fun Fact: Sailfin Tetras are named for their prominent, sail-like dorsal fins, particularly noticeable in males. They are native to South American blackwater streams, and their subtle iridescence and unique fin structure make them a favorite among aquarists who appreciate understated beauty.
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.
