Corydoras aeneus is a small, peaceful species of catfish from South America. They are active shoalers and will stay near conspecifics, making for a lovely sight. Corydoras feed by searching through sand with their barbels, and sand is necessary for the long-term health of Corys. Gravel substrates tend to be abrasive and damage the barbels, leading to infections and an inability to find food.

Corydoras are often looked at as "scavengers," but they should be treated in a similar fashion as the rest of your fish. They are omnivores and require a mixed diet. Flake food is readily accepted, as is baby brine shrimp and small pieces of blackworm.

The Tiger Botia Loach is a distinctive bottom-dweller native to Asian streams and rivers. Its silver body, accented with brown or green hues, features bold black stripes reminiscent of a tiger’s pattern. Characteristic of Botia loaches, it has four pairs of barbels around its mouth that aid in foraging. Though often called scaleless, this species possesses tiny embedded scales beneath its skin. Its striking appearance and active behavior make it a valuable addition to well-maintained community tanks with suitable bottom habitats.

The L124 Para Pleco is a striking yellow-bodied fish with bold black spots, perfect for aquarists seeking a peaceful bottom dweller. This South American beauty grows to approximately 8–10 inches and thrives in large, well-oxygenated tanks with strong water movement, plenty of driftwood, and secure hiding spots. A true omnivore, the L124 requires a varied diet of sinking pellets, algae wafers, and frozen foods like bloodworms to maintain optimal health. Maintain water temperatures between 76–82°F with a pH of 6.5–7.5 for best results. While generally peaceful, they can display territorial behavior toward other bottom-dwelling species, so tank mates should be chosen carefully. With proper care and suitable conditions, your L124 Para Pleco can live for several years, becoming a captivating centerpiece in your aquarium.

A generally peaceful and hardy species, the Snowball Pleco is an excellent, undemanding candidate for most aquariums.  Unlike the widely-seen Common Pleco (Hypostomus plecostomus) and Trinidad Pleco (Hypostomus punctatus), which easily reach a monstrous size of 18 to 20+ inches (45 to 51+ cm), the Snowball Pleco grows to a size of only 5.5 to 6.3 inches (14 to 16 cm).  This smaller size makes for a much more manageable (and less messy) pleco that can thrive permanently in a well-maintained aquarium as small as 40 gallons.  Male plecos may be somewhat territorial with other males of their species, but disputes can usually be diffused by providing ample territory and hiding places for each fish

An elongated, eel-like loach found throughout much of Asia, the Dojo Loach has been popular in the aquarium hobby for decades due to their active, gregarious nature and unique appearance. More subtropical than most aquarium species, they are tolerant of temperatures into the mid 50-60F range and do best when kept below 75-78F. In the aquarium, they prefer ample hiding places like plants, caves, or rockwork and will do best when kept in groups of 3 – 5 or more. The attractive gold form is a selectively bred strain which shows a uniform bright yellow/orange coloration.

More carnivorous than many other plecos, they should be fed accept a variety of protein rich sinking prepared foods. They can be aggressive and territorial for a pleco and should be provided with ample hides and rockwork in the aquarium.
