The Green Corydoras or Cory for short, also known as the Bronze Corydoras, is native to rivers and pools in South America predominately in Colombia, Uruguay, and Argentina. The genus Corydoras translates to “helmet skin” which is true of these tough, little armored catfish. Corydoras also have spines at the edge of their pectoral fins to deter predators from eating them. Green corys have an overall green shimmer to their bodies in which their name is derived, with a white belly. A popular scavenging catfish for community and planted aquariums, Green corys are extremely peaceful and reach an adult size of approximately 3″. Corydoras are very social, preferring to be kept in groups of 4 or more individuals. There are little differences between male and female, however females can appear a little more robust during breeding. Many Green corys available within the aquarium trade are commercially produced through aquaculture.
Montipora is a great choice of stony coral for beginner reef tanks. Montipora is considered an easy coral to keep in a reef tank and we suggest introducing this coral to an established reef tank that has been running for at least six months. Montipora are popular corals because they come in a huge range of color morphs. Montipora coral has vibrant fluorescent colors often with small polyps that are a contrasting color to the surrounding coral tissue.

Water Parameters:Calcium: 440 ppm is the ideal level, according to Bulk Reef Supply. Calcium is essential for coral growth and skeletal development. Alkalinity: 9 dKH (degrees of carbonate hardness) is the target, according to Bulk Reef Supply. Alkalinity helps maintain stable pH levels and is crucial for coral health. Magnesium: 1350 ppm is the recommended level, according to Bulk Reef Supply. Magnesium plays a role in calcium and alkalinity balance. pH: Aim for a pH as close to 8.3 as possible, according to Bulk Reef Supply. Maintaining a stable pH is vital for coral growth and overall tank health. Temperature: Reef tanks typically thrive in temperatures between 75- and 80-degrees Fahrenheit. Salinity: A specific gravity of 1.025 or 35 PPT is generally recommended. Specific Gravity: Should be kept between 1.023 and 1.025. Nitrate (NO3): Levels should be kept low, ideally around 5 ppm or less. Phosphate (PO4): Should be kept as low as possible, generally below 0.03 ppm, according to Recif'Art.

The Green Laser Cory, or Green Stripe Cory, is a vibrant and popular aquarium fish known for its distinctive fluorescent green stripe that arches across its back. It's a peaceful schooling fish, meaning it thrives in groups and is suitable for community tanks. Like other Corydoras species, Green Lasers are bottom-dwellers, actively sifting through the substrate for food.
Appearance:
The most striking feature is the bright green stripe along its back.
Behavior:
They are peaceful and social, preferring to be kept in groups of 6 or more.
Size:
They typically reach a size of around 2.5 inches (6.3 cm).
Care:
They are generally easy to care for, making them a good choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists.
Origin:
They are native to the Ucayali and Maranon rivers in Peru, part of the Amazon basin.
Tank Requirements:
Tank Size: A minimum of 15 gallons is recommended for a group of 6.
Substrate: Sand or fine gravel is preferred to protect their barbels (whiskers).
Water Parameters: They prefer a pH between 6.0 and 7.0 and a temperature of 72-82°F (22-28°C).
Diet: They are bottom-feeders and will eat a variety of foods, including sinking pellets, algae wafers, and live or frozen foods.
Tank Mates: They can be kept with other peaceful community fish, such as tetras, danios, or other Corydoras species.
In summary, the Green Laser Cory is a beautiful and relatively easy-to-care-for fish that adds a splash of color and activity to community aquariums.
The Orange Laser Cory, or Orange Stripe Cory, is a vibrant and popular aquarium fish known for its distinctive fluorescent orange stripe that arches across its back.

The Tomini Tang (Ctenochaetus tominiensis), also known as the Tomini Surgeonfish or Tomini Bristletooth Tang, is a popular and hardy reef fish well-suited for both beginner and advanced aquarists. This attractive tang is recognized by its sleek brown body, white tail, and bright yellow fins, which provide a unique and pleasing contrast. Although it is one of the smaller tang species, its active personality and efficient algae-grazing habits make it a great addition to many marine aquariums.
Natural Range: India, Nepal, Bangladesh
Adult Size: around 4-5"
Sold as: Unsexed
Overview:
This is one of the few fish species that communicate using sounds audible to humans. If you have a group of these fish and listen very carefully during feeding time, you may hear their "dinner conversation," which sounds like a soft clicking noise. These highly communal fish use sound, and many other interesting behaviors, to keep in contact and manage their social hierarchies. Displays, dances, and occasionally combat are used to manage their social structures. These are fascinating to watch but can stress subdominant fish if they are kept in inadequate numbers. To mitigate this, and to best observe their fascinating social behaviors, this is a fish that is best kept in groups...the more the merrier.

Revered for their vibrant colors and eye-catching shimmer, the Congo Tetra (Phenacogrammus interruptus) has become a widely popular freshwater fish species in the aquarium community.
As their name would suggest, these fish are endemic to the Congo River basin. They typically call small streams, ponds, and marshes in the area home.
They’re a schooling fish and typically stick to large groups in the wild. In captivity, this schooling nature creates stunning swaths of color that will be the center of attention in your tank.
Our recommended tank size for Congo Tetras is 30 gallons.
