We do not take backorders on live fish, invertebrates or plants. Livestock arrives on the shipping schedule our suppliers and the weather allow, so we will not promise a date we cannot keep.
What is in the tanks changes from week to week. Ask us and we will tell you what is in and what is coming, or check back shortly. Visit us or get in touch.

The clown killifish (Epiplatys annulatus) is a tiny West African surface fish from forest streams in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. The body is cream with four broad black bands, and the tail is the reason people buy it: the central rays extend into a pointed spike coloured red, blue and white, which genuinely does look like a small rocket. It hangs just under the surface, almost motionless, then darts.
Aquarium care
- Reaches around 3 cm.
- Peaceful and very easily bullied.
- Keep a group of eight or more.
- Wants still or very gently moved water, dense planting and floating cover.
- Lives at the surface and rarely goes deeper.
- Has a tiny mouth. Feed micro pellets, crushed flake, frozen cyclops and baby brine shrimp.
- A jumper. Keep the tank covered.
Best in a small planted species tank, or with slow bottom-dwellers such as pygmy corydoras that occupy a completely different level. It will not compete with anything faster.
Stock rotates with each shipment, and livestock is sold for local pickup at our Lethbridge store. See the current killifish.
