Help Us Save Endangered Habitats With World Land Trust

A familiar ally in the fight against algae in our aquaria, the Amano shrimp (Caridina multidentata) has a complex lifecycle that has meant captive breeding took a while to crack. Now that this hurdle has been overcome, colour strains are starting to appear, such as these orange Amanos that look even more red-toned after a meal of bloodworm. These were looking good at our Rokers store.

It may be getting colder outside but that suits Orfe (Leucisus idus) whether they’re Golden or Blue. They love the higher oxygen levels that go hand in hand with cooler water and are easier to transport as well. 

Having been bred into a large number of colour and finnage forms, the aquarium lines of Bristlenose catfish (Ancistrus sp.) are perfect algae eating community residents for all but the smallest aquaria.
