This is a wonderful aquarium fish.
As you can see it's very beautiful, it's mild tempered, eats algae off live plants without damaging the plants, and it is very hardy. Highly recommended.
We've heard from several sources that this species
eats lots of wood in its natural habitat, and so it might need a piece of driftwood in its aquarium, but in our
aquariums it eats mostly premium fish food flakes
and pellets.

The Items |
|
in the pictures in this website have long ago been sold. So we can't ship you the exact same fish,
shrimp, plant, etc., that you see in the picture, and the item
that we ship may not look like the picture on this page, but we
can usually ship you items that are nearly the
same.

If you're interested in buying an
item that's marked "Out of Stock", we
recommend that you add this page to your favorites or bookmarks and check back on this page from time to time.
Generally, we do not know when an item will be back in stock. It might be a few days, or it might be much
longer. We usually do not get advance notice, so we can't supply you with any more information, and it will do no good to email us and ask when we'll have it
back in stock.

|
If you see "Not For Sale" by an item
that interests you on this page, it means that we don't have that
item in our
facility now, and it's unlikely that we'll have it soon.
Why do we include a fish on our Price List that we are unlikely to sell? Because AquariumFish.net also provides information and links to information about
some types of fish that we do not sell.
We don't have other stores, and we don't know of other suppliers of
these items. Please don't send us emails asking for other suppliers.

The government of Brazil is now strictly enforcing their ban on the exportation of almost all types of wild Plecostomus. We're glad the wild Plecostomus are being protected. We're sold out of all types of wild Plecostomus. Fish farmers will need to supply them. We have very good suppliers, and so we will offer the species that they can breed and supply. We apologize if this disappoints you, please check back here from time to time.

About the
Fish on this
Page
We prefer to
buy tank
raised fish,
if they are
available
from fish
farmers, but
many of the
fish on this
page are not
available
from fish
farmers, so
we buy them
from
collectors
of wild
fish. Many wild
species of
fish are
seasonal and
not
available
all year.
When we need
wild fish,
and they are
available,
we usually
buy extras
and hold
them in our
facilities.
Even so we
do not have
all of the
species,
shown on
this page,
all of the
time. We
recommend
that you add
this page to
your
favorites/bookmarks to make it easy for you to check
back here from time to time and see
which
species are
available.

The Prices
The Prices are payable in U.S. Dollars and are always listed for ONE item, which is usually one
fish, but it might be one shrimp, one crab, one aquatic plant, or one fish bowl depending on the
type of item. |
|
|
The
Sizes
are listed in inches and refer to total length of that
item and includes the tail, if the item has a
tail. Each size is the size of the item for sale.
The pictures often show items of a different
size than the items offered for sale. Eventually
an item may grow to be bigger, even much bigger.
|
|
|
Learn about the Fish, before You Buy !! Near almost every item, that is listed for sale, there is a link, which includes more information
about that item and often includes the maximum size. We strongly recommend that you carefully read
about each item, before you buy it!
|
|
|
No Minimum Size Order
There is no minimum order size. Order as many items or as few as you want.
|
|
|
Where Do We Ship?
We ship to most addresses in the contiguous
48-states and to some addresses in Hawaii and
Alaska, but we cannot ship outside the United
States. So we cannot ship to Canada or Puerto
Rico. We apologize for any disappointment this
causes. |
|
|
The Pictures
on this web site show items that have
usually been sold. So we can't ship you the exact same item
that you see in a picture, and the item that we ship may not look like the item in the picture,
but we can usually ship you an item that is nearly the same.

hours later in the afternoon. We love our fish
and want to minimize the stress to them during
shipping. Click

The first column in blue on
the left shows the days that we receive your
order. Read across to the middle column in yellow
to find the day
we will ship your order, and the pink column on
the right shows the day you will usually receive
your order.
So for example, if you order on
Thursday after noon, you will usually receive
your order 6-days later on Wednesday, but if you
order on Thursday before noon, you'll get your
order the next day on Friday! Hooray!
;^ }
All
of this is organized to maximize the safety to
the fish.
The "Usual Delivery Day"
is the day after your order is shipped. We
always ship in the late afternoon and
the delivery to you is usually the next day
before noon, which minimizes the time.
By the way
you can
request a
different
delivery day
that you
prefer, but
the
requested
day must be
after the
Usual
Delivery
Day, shown
above.
Notice the word "usually" in the yellow and pink columns. Once in a blue moon due to circumstances beyond our control we may not be able to ship on the
day listed above in the yellow column. If so, we'll notify you, apologize for the delay, and make other arrangements for your shipment.
|
|
|
Saturday
Delivery
Note: We can also ship on
Friday for delivery on Saturday with an
additional charge of
$15.00. To ship on a
Friday, we must receive your order before noon,
our time, on Thursday, as shown in the table
above.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notification
We will always notify you by email, before we ship your package. Our notification will include the
name of the delivery company and the approximate time of delivery
to your address. From the day we receive your order,
you will usually receive your package within three to five of our working days, which are Monday
through Friday, excluding holidays.
|
|
|
your Email Address
Be sure
we have your current email address.
Sometimes we get orders with old
invalid email address, which means
our notification email is return to
us and not delivered. |
|
|
your Street Address
The companies that we use to deliver packages will not
accept a package from us that is addressed to a Post Office Box, so you must enter a Street Address
on your order. |
|
|
Your Telephone Number
The delivery companies also will not accept a package without
your phone number to call in case they have trouble finding your street address.
|
|
|
IMPORTANT
Be sure your order is to a STREET
ADDRESS and not a P.O. Box number.
The delivery companies want a PHONE
NUMBER, where they can call you at the
time of delivery, in
case they have trouble
finding your address.
