These fish were sold as European tank bred Rio Nanay. I am having difficulty finding domestic bred wild varieties. They look different from other Rio Nanays I have seen online. Could they possibly be some other variety? Also, the ventrals appear to be on the short side. These fish are young. Will the ventral lengthen as they mature ..read more

Good morning! All the way from SA! I am a new fish mom I have 3 ranchu’s which I have for about a month now. I introduced a new member to them yesterday - panda oranda.

Good evening everyone! So we have a Black Molly who looks like a little blimp. She (I’m assuming) stays in the large green plant that we have for the most part, doesn’t eat much and she just seems to be getting bigger and bigger. Can someone please advise if we do have a pregnant fishie or if she is sick? Much appreciated in advance! I’m going to try to attach a picture. Also if she is pregnant, can you possibly tell us how far along she may be ..read more

These fish arrived a week ago. They are not a proven pair & I an unconcerned with their genders. I have never known new arrivals to refuse food for more than a day or two. I have offered them what the breeder fed: brine shrimps, blood worms & pellets. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you ..read more
