Here you'll find pictures and articles on the species we keep and other articles written by people who share our passion for these wonderful fish.

Astatotilapia desfontainii
Astatotilapia desfontainii is a small cichlid of 15cm. The base color of mature males is an unassuming olive-green but each scale along the flank has a small dot of reflective and bright blue-green coloration. This color splash allows the fish to appear totally different depending on the angle positioned to a light source.
This extremely rare gem was found in Tunisia and may now be extinct in the wild. To our knowledge, there are only four adult fish in captivity in all of North America.

Gallery
Our entire collection of photos can be found right here, sorted by location and species. Let the page load completely, then click on a species name and watch what happens - we think it's really cool! Due to popular request, we have compiled an alternate gallery page that DOES include thumbnails of all of our images here. It does take a while to load, so go grab something to drink while you wait. We've also added links to relevant articles alongside the images. Enjoy!!
