CAFE Auction and back to Hisonotus

The Columbus Area Fish Enthusiasts (CAFE), recently had their Spring Auction and what an auction it was! CAFE's New and Rare has taken off and has become a driving force to the success of the event and AmazonTropics.com was proud to be a part of such a great event. We hope you took a chance at our offerings of: Geophagus mirabilis, Centromochlus perugiae, Krobia xinguensis (which could soon be red listed) and Ancistrus sp. "Snowflake".

AmazonTropics will continue to provide new and exciting species for fish events. Do not miss us at the Greater Pittsburgh Aquarium Society Inc. (GPASI) auction on April 30th. For all of the details, visit their website at: http://www.gpasi.org.

One species we hope to offer in the future is of course Hisonotus aky. We have been talking about this species for a while now but we can now share with you the first video of the fry turning green! It has been a journey in raising this species but we now believe we have figured out how to raise groups of fry up. If all goes well, we will be able to offer this awesome species by the end of the year. First though, we must build up our breeding stock. Until then, enjoy this new video!
