The Catfish Cave: Corydoras Catfish W/ Lynn Mathney

4/19/2020
Did you know that there are catfish that stay under 4''? Mini catfish you say? YES! Corydoras catfish are perfect for community aquariums and smaller aquariums.

Project Piaba Buy A Fish Save A Tree

4/10/2020

Deep in the heart of...

There is no way of knowing what conditions the fish has been exposed too, what diseases and parasites the fish has been exposed too and what stress level the fish has been through. Quarantine aquariums are very...
