Yellow Multibar Angelfish, Paracentropyge multifasciata, also go by the name Barred Angelfish. These adorable dwarf angels are perfect for people looking to add colour and activity in their tank, thanks to their striking pattern. These Angelfish belong to the Pomacanthidae family. A group famous for their vivid colours. The name is Greek for, “cover” (poma) and “thorn” (akantha), which refers to the pair of strong spines on the gill cover.
These fish occur in the Indo-Pacific. They live around: Australia, the Society Islands and the Cocos-Keeling Atoll. They live on outer reef slopes or in lagoons, where they hover around a place of safety, such as a crevice or cave. Yellow Multibar Angelfish occur in pairs or small groups. They are also protogynous hermaphrodites. Meaning they start life as female and turn male when older.
Angelfish in general are not considered reef safe due to the risk of them eating coral. Dwarf Angels, by the large, are considered less of a risk but do still have the potential to nip corals. The risk can vary depending on a few factors. If you want specific advice for your set up, feel free to call for advice.
It is important to have plenty of nooks or crannies where your Yellow Multibar Angelfish can explore and feel at home. Keepers may also want to get a jump guard to stop any accidents. Multibar Angelfish are omnivores and do best when fed a varied diet. They will accept frozen Mysis shrimp and enriched frozen brine shrimp. We enrich all our frozen food with seachem garlic guard and Atvitol vitamins. These are great for keeping fish healthy by providing them with the nutrition otherwise lost in frozen food. In doing so, these additives support their immune system and increase longevity. Yellow Multibar Angelfish will eat masstick and graze on marine algae, that can be secured to the side of the tank with clips. Over time they will accept high-quality pellet or flake. We adapt all our Angel Fish to aquarium life before they leave us. We focus on their health, and most are eating a good quality flake food and/or pellet before being offered for sale. Dwarf Angelfish can live in a mixed group or alone. It may also be possible for them to be in pairs. This depends on a few variables. Feel free to give us a call with any questions on this matter.
Tank Bred Male Yellow Erectus Seahorse, Hippocampus erectus, also go by the name lined seahorse. These fish make are great options for marine tanks thanks to their beautiful colours, which can range from bright yellow, pale yellow or a deep browny yellow. The range in colour is truly amazing as they can respond to the environment they are in and change hue.
Seahorses get their name from their elegant, elongated snout and curved neck which resembles a horse. In fact, their Etymology is “horse” (hippos) and “sea monster” (kámpos)
Seahorse, pipefish and sea dragons all belong to the Syngnathidae family. These ray finned fish have an unusual body plan. For instance, Male Yellow Erectus Seahorses swim vertically in the water, rather than horizontally. An adaptation thought to help them to hide in seagrasses. Seahorses use their dorsal fin for forward motion, while other ray finned fish use their tail and caudal fin. Instead of a caudal fin, Seahorses have a flexible tail they use for grasping.
Our Yellow Erectus Seahorse have been born in captivity. In the wild, Male Erectus Seahorses occur in the Western and central Atlantic. They live in the Gulf of Mexico, as well as around: Canada, Nova Scotia and Panama. Possibly around the ascension islands as well. They live mostly coastally, although they do move to deeper waters in winter, where it is more stable. They attach themselves to seagrass, gorgonians or around manmade objects. Yellow Erectus seahorses have also been seen living in floating Sargassum. Those that do have flesh tabs to help them hide.
Arguably, seahorses are most famous for their unusual reproduction. Courtship can include dances and colour changes depending on the type. The Female Yellow Erectus Seahorse will deposit her eggs in to a brood pouch on the males ventral side. He will then fertilize and carry his eggs. For Erectus Seahorses, it takes around 20-21 days for the babies to be born, although temperature does have an effect.
It is important to have plenty of nooks or crannies where your Tank bred Male Yellow Erectus Seahorse can anchor itself and feel at home.
Seahorses do best when fed a varied diet. Here they are eating frozen Mysis, frozen brineshrimp, frozen copepods, ocean nutrition fish eggs. We enrich all our frozen food with seachem garlic guard and Atvitol vitamins. These are great for keeping fish healthy, by giving them the nutrition otherwise lost in frozen food. In doing so, these additives support their immune system and increase longevity.
In addition, A Tank bred Male Yellow Erectus Seahorse will also eat live foods, such as copepods and amphipods, that can be cultivated in attached refugium. They will even occasionally go after river shrimp, which can be interesting to watch. Our seahorses are adapted to aquarium life before being offered up for sale. Meaning they are eating frozen food when they leave us.
You can keep Male Yellow Erectus Seahorse in pairs or groups. They are not the fastest of swimmers so keepers may wish to use a feeder or tweezers. Feel free to give us a call for advice on a seahorse set up and keeping.

Thornback Cowfish, Lactoria fornasini, are fascinating fish. Partly due to their peculiar shape. They are full of personality and are perfect for someone after something different in their marine tank.
Boxfish and Cowfish belong to the Ostraciidae family. Which comes from the Greek word “ostrakon” meaning “shell”. Members of this family have square shaped bodies. This is thanks to their rigid carapace which grants them protection from predators. Their tough armour consists of sutured bony plates or scutes. It also encases most of their body, only leaving gaps for the: eyes, mouth, fins, gills ect.
These fish occur in the Indo-West Pacific and Southeast Atlantic, around: Hawaiian and Rapa Islands, Japan, Africa and Lord Howe Island.
Thornback Cowfish are solitary and occur in a range of habitats, from reef slopes to lagoons. They can be found close to the benthos, over sand or rubble.
It is important to have plenty of nooks or crannies where your Thornback Cowfish can explore and feel at home. Keepers may want to invest in a jump guard to prevent accidents. Young fish are not the strongest of swimmers so be mindful the flow rate isn’t too high.
Thornback Cowfish are omnivores so do best when fed a varied diet. They will accept frozen Mysis shrimp and frozen brine shrimp. We enrich all our frozen food with seachem garlic guard and Atvitol vitamins. These are great for keeping fish healthy by providing them with the nutrition otherwise lost in frozen food. In doing so, these additives support their immune system and increase longevity.
These fish can also go for masstick that can be rubbed onto the rockwork or tank sides. In addition, they will graze on marine algae that can be stuck to the side of the tank with clips. Over time, Thornback Cowfish will eat a high quality flake food. They will also accept live foods, such as copepods and amphipods, that can be cultivated in attached refugium.
We adapt all our Thornback Cowfish to aquarium life before they leave us. We focus on their health. Most will also be eating frozen food before leaving us.
Kamohara Fang Blennies, Meiacanthus kamoharai, are striking black and white fish. Blennies are very popular thanks to their charisma and relatively small size. They are ideal for someone looking for personality in their marine tank.
These Blennies are examples of Combtooth blennies. This name refers to the comb-like teeth lining their jaws.
These fish occur in the Northwest Pacific, particular around Japan.
Kamohara Fang Blennies live on reefs and in reef associated environments. Here they will feed on a range of foods. Such as: small invertebrates, algae and detritus. Kamohara Fang Blennies form distinct pairs when breeding. Their eggs are adhesive and attached to the substrate. When the larvae emerge, they drift away and are more often found coastally.
It is important to have plenty of nooks or crannies where your blenny can explore and feel at home. Keepers may want to invest in a jump guard to prevent accidents.

Kamohara Fang Blennies can live alone. It is possible for some blennies to live along side others as well. Sometimes even in same species groups. Success depends on a fair number of variables. For example, factors to consider include: the species of blenny, tank size, space and cover available. Please give us a call if you want to know more.
Tank Bred Reidi Seahorse Unsexable, Hippocampus reidi, also go by the Long snout Seahorse or Slender Seahorse.
These fish make are great options for marine tanks and are fun to keep. Please be aware, these are young seahorse that need alot of care and attention. They need to be fed regularly and carefully so as not to pollute your tank. Experience is advised. Please only purchase them if you are sure you can cater to their needs.

Sunset Parvirostris Anthias Male, Pseudanthias parvirostris, also go by the name Diamond Head Anthias. As the names suggest, these fish have a pink diamond pattern on their head. They are a warm orange or peach colour and have pink flecks along their body. These are superb fish to keep and look amazing in a group.
These fish range from: the Maldives, the Solomon islands, Japan and Australia, in the Indo- West Pacific Ocean. They live on and around: coral reefs, steep slopes, channels, drop offs or caves. The structures help the fish dodge predators. When scared, they will quickly vanish and fix themselves into nooks and crannies.
In nature, Male Sunset Parvirostris Anthias feed passively, as do most types of Anthias. Which means they stay in relatively still positions, while facing the current. When Pelagic zooplankton drifts towards them in the water, the fish snatch their food up. With this method, the hunters easily get hold of small critters and eggs, while using up the smallest amount of energy possible. Feeding is fairly constant, although other behaviours break up this activity.
These are fish that live in social groups, with one male to around 5 or more females. Sunset Parvirostris Anthias are protogynous hermaphrodites. Which means when the top male dies, the largest female in the group will turn male. It will then become the new breeding male. As a result, all juvenile Sunset Parvirostris Anthias, are in fact immature females.
It is important to have good currents and regular feeding in order to copy the natural environment. A wave maker can help with this. Owners should think about using a jump guard to stop any loses.
Male Sunset Parvirostris Anthias do best when fed a varied diet. They will accept frozen mysis shrimp and enriched frozen brine shrimp. They will also eat live foods, such as copepods and amphipods, that can be cultivated in attached refugium. Over time, these fish may have small amounts of high quality flake food as well. Our Anthias are adapted to aquarium life and most are eating a good quality frozen food, enriched with garlic guard and vitamins before being offered for sale. We find that the best way to keep this species is in a small group. Keepers should aim to keep at least 1 Male Sunset Parvirostris Anthias with 3 or more females.
