We've got in some super cool fish that many of you "monster fish keepers" will love!

One is the African Tiger Fish (Hydrocynus vittatus).  This is one vicious fish that will make an attempt to eat any fish that can fit into its mouth.  Though they are known to be piscivores, study groups have observed numerous occasions where the African Tigerfish jumps out of the water to catch birds swimming along the surface of the water looking for insects.

The other is the Vampire Tetra, which many know as the Payara fish (Hydrolycus scomberoides).  These monster fish are found abundantly in the Amazon.  With their sharp teeth, they are also known as the Sabertooth Tetra.  They are known to make attempts at eating fish even half their size.  

One of the ultimate monster fishes out there is the Tarpon.  The Indo-Pacific Tarpon (Megalops Cyprinoides) is one fish that can get pretty massive in size.  The Tarpon is a widely spread fish that can be found in both freshwater and saltwater environments.  Not only can they thrive in both but can be found deep inland in Africa, living out its entire life in freshwater bodies.

We also got in a small batch of the African Butterflyfish, Pantodon buchholzi (commonly known as the Freshwater Butterfly Fish).  Despite being a carnivore that will hunt for smaller fish and insects, this fish gets no bigger than 5 inches.  But with its mouth, it will still try to eat whatever it can fit!

As summer time is now here, many tropical fish importers and wholesalers will be bringing in much more stock so we'll be bringing in a lot of rare and hard to find fish ourselves.  

We'll be posting more updates on Facebook & Instagram, so stay connected with us for all the goodies!

Happy Fish Keeping,
