Welcome to our
Fishroom

For information on our plants, see our Plant Fact Sheets and go to our Product section for information on all our dry stock.

On this page, the fish are grouped by type - catfish, cichlid, etc. Please click on the group classification in the table below to take you to the information about that group of fish, including habitat, and the species Fact Files.

You will also be able to find the fish by searching by tank type: freshwater coldwater (including pond); freshwater tropical or brackish water; by country that the species is native to; by tank size (small, medium or large); alphabetically by genus; or alphabetically by common name.

We are slowly building this site and you will notice a lot of information blanks. Please be patient as we are steadily adding more Fact Sheets - so keep visiting us to see what new and interesting information appears next.

To help you use our Fact Sheets, just click on About the Fact Sheet Information to find out about some of the terms we use in our Fact Sheets - such as what we mean by the adult size, availability, hardiness or overall appeal.
