If your order contains this item, you will only see UPS Next Day Air as a shipping option during checkout * The Platinum Orange Flash Cockatoo Dwarf Cichlid is a remarkable variant that has a clean white-gold body and striking orange fins in males! The Platinum Orange Flash Cockatoo Dwarf Cichlid (Apistogramma cacatuoides) is a variant of one of the most beautifully colored and most popular dwarf cichlids in the freshwater aquarium hobby. Males are particularly colorful, boasting incredible bright orange coloration on the ample dorsal fin as well as the tail. The body is white-gold. As with most dwarf cichlids, females are less colorful, but still have an attractive appearance and plenty of personality. The Platinum Orange Flash Cockatoo Dwarf Cichlid will thrive in an aquarium with a sandy substrate and plenty of refuge such as clay pots, driftwood, and rock formations. It is an excellent candidate for the planted aquarium, but it also needs a fair amount of open space. This cichlid is generally compatible with other peaceful fish as long as it has plenty of space. Territoriality is typically at its peak during spawning. Dwarf shrimp and other small, delicate invertebrates should not be kept with the Platinum Orange Flash Cockatoo Dwarf Cichlid, but more durable, larger shrimp and snails could possibly make good tankmates in a large enough aquarium. If spawning is desired, tankmates of other species should be kept to a minimum or avoided altogether. Feeding is simple for the unfussy Platinum Orange Flash Cockatoo Dwarf Cichlid. High-quality dry, frozen, and live meaty foods will all be readily accepted. Quality and variety are the keys to a diet that will ensure that this fish maintains optimal health and coloration. We are currently offering sexed young adult specimens of this magnificent species. They are displaying very good coloration, but their color will be even more vibrant as they mature further! What We Like About This Fish: Beautiful white-gold body coloration with very bright orange coloration on the dorsal and caudal fins Hardy with plenty of personality Possible to breed in the aquarium Compatible with many other species in a spacious tank RECOMMENDED TANK PARAMETERS: Temperature: 72° - 84° F (22° - 29° C) pH: 6.0 - 7.0, tank-raised specimens are more flexible regarding pH level KH: 2 – 15 KH Minimum tank size: 20 gallons for a pair, but a larger tank is required for a group CARE GUIDELINES: Diet: Carnivorous.

Multi-Color Mystery Snail COMBO PACK (Pomacea bridgesii) - Tank-Bred!

Love Mystery Snails, but can't decide which color to order? Then this is the combo pack for you! INCLUDED IN THIS PACK ARE THE FOLLOWING Mystery Snail Types: Black Mystery Snails Blue Mystery Snails Gold Mystery Snails *To see more information on each type of snail, see their individual listings. These large and striking snails are great for adding some color to your aquarium, but they also serve some very useful purposes. They clean algae off of glass, plants, and decorations, they eat hair algae, and they keep your substrate clean and the correct color. They are totally safe with any fish, shrimp, or plants, and are completely peaceful. These snails are quite large as adults, growing up to 3 inches in diameter. As with all freshwater snails, Mystery Snails are very sensitive to copper, so it's advisable to monitor your copper levels if you use tap water in your tank. Mystery Snails are generally much more active and display more playful behavior than other types of freshwater snails. They are almost constantly scaling the walls of the aquarium, extending their antennae in search of food. They will climb up to the water line in to breathe air, so it's a good idea to make sure the water line in your aquarium isn't too high. When a Mystery Snail reaches the top of a wall or structure, it will often let go of the wall and glide rapidly downward until it crashes into plants or into the substrate below, often eliciting a "Weeee!" sound from any witnesses. We try to ship mostly young Mystery Snails to customers so that they can be kept and enjoyed for more of their lifespan; thus, most of our Mystery Snails will arrive at a smaller size (around .25 - 1.5 inches (1.3 - 5 cm) in diameter). They have voracious appetites and grow in size VERY quickly if they are fed well; a young Mystery Snail can double in size in a matter of weeks to months. NOTE: If you search the Internet for Mystery Snails, many results will state that these are the same species as Apple Snails. These are NOT Apple Snails, though they do resemble them in shape. Apple Snails are considered an invasive species and are illegal to own in the United States. Our Mystery Snails do not grow to the tremendous size that Apple Snails do (often as big as an apple). What We Like About This Snail: A variety of bright shell colors Its playful behavior makes it more fun to watch than other snails Safe with plants Completely peaceful RECOMMENDED TANK PARAMETERS: Temperature: 68° - 84° F (20° - 29° C) pH: 7.6 - 8.4 KH: 2 - 15 dKH Minimum tank size: 2.5 gallons per snail CARE GUIDELINES: Diet: Other than algae and biofilm, Mystery Snails also eat leftover fish/invertebrate flakes and pellets and blanched vegetables such as zucchini, kale, spinach, or cucumber. Social behavior: Peaceful and solitary; will not engage with tankmates. Origin: Tank-bred, but indigenous to South America. Average adult size: 2.5 - 3+ inches (5 - 7.6+ cm) Average purchase size: .25 - 1.5 inches (1.3 - 5 cm) All Aquatic Arts brand plants and animals come with a 100% live arrival guarantee, plus free email support!

Rose Red Rotala (Rotala macrandra), bunch

This plant has possibly the most potential of any aquatic plant for deep red coloration! Rose Red Rotala (Rotala macrandra) is an exceptionally beautiful plant that is highly appreciated by aquarists. It is much more demanding than many other Rotala species, but it is extremely rewarding when given excellent to optimal care. With the correct water parameters, high lighting, and CO2 supplementation when possible, this plant will become almost unimaginably deep red from top to bottom! We do receive this plant in it's emersed growth form so it's leaves will look different than what is pictured until it starts to grow new submerged growth. The stems of Rose Red Rotala should be planted far enough apart that the light will penetrate all the way to the bottom of the stem. High lighting is possibly the most important factor in keeping this plant in optimal condition. Fairly high phosphate and low nitrate levels are also preferred. Nutrient-rich substrate is also a necessity. CO2 is not absolutely necessary if these other factors are met, but it certainly is beneficial. The fastest growth will happen in soft water. If its needs are met, Rose Red Rotala will develop side shoots, which can be clipped and replanted as they reach enough length to not be overshadowed by other larger plants. We are selling this plant in bunches of 4-6 stems each. No aquarium plant distributor/nursery/wholesaler/retailer can or will guarantee their plants to be 100% snail free. We can not guarantee our plants will be snail free. What We Like About This Plant: Full, deep red coloration with proper care Moderately prolific and easy to prune Easily among the very most beautiful aquarium plants worldwide Breathtaking focal point for the planted aquarium Care Guidelines: Temperature: 65° - 78° F (18° - 26° C) pH: 6.0 - 7.0 Lighting: High, more red coloration is achieved with higher lighting, high phosphates, low nitrates, and CO2 Origin: Cultivated in nurseries, but indigenous to India Aquarium placement: Middle Care: Moderate to High All Aquatic Arts brand plants and animals come with a 100% live arrival guarantee, plus free email support!

Red Root Floater (Phyllanthus fluitans)

This plant is one of the best-looking floating plants for the aquarium and it propagates quickly! Red Root Floater (Phyllanthus fluitans) is a South American floating plant that is known and highly desired for its bright red roots and underside. Under high lighting, its leaves can turn completely red! This hardy plant propagates quickly and can provide shade to areas of the aquarium, which will encourage more reclusive species to come out of hiding. This is a truly beautiful and very beneficial plant for aquariums with gentle water flow. Care is extremely easy for Red Root Floater. It can thrive in a relatively wide pH range as well as low to high lighting. Its only major specific requirement is that it reportedly does not do well with a high level of surface agitation. It is best kept in an aquarium with gentle water flow. Under these simple conditions, it will multiply very quickly and provide significant denitrification as well as oxygenation, which is particularly important in aquariums with low water flow. It does not require CO2 supplementation. Like most plants, Red Root Floater will benefit from supplementation such as Seachem Flourish, Flourish Excel, nitrogen, iron, and other plant supplements. No aquarium plant distributor/nursery/wholesaler/retailer can or will guarantee their plants to be 100% snail free. We can not guarantee our plants will be snail free. What We Like About This Plant: Bright red roots and underside under any lighting Overall red leaves under high lighting Provides shade to areas of the aquarium Very hardy and durable in low water flow Care Guidelines: Temperature: 70° - 82° F (21° - 28° C) pH: 6.5 - 7.5 Lighting: Low to High Origin: Indigenous to South America, cultivated in US nurseries Aquarium placement: Floating Care: Easy Note: All of our floating plants are grown at an outdoor nursery, there is a chance of duckweed being in any floating plant package All Aquatic Arts brand plants and animals come with a 100% live arrival guarantee, plus free email support!
