Fish Species

These are the species I currently keep or have kept in the past. This list is by no means complete, but it gives a good idea of the types of fish I enjoy: Community-friendly Nano Species, especially Loaches and Catfishes.

I am not actively breeding most of these species, which is why I also list the source, but feel free to contact me with any questions.

Macrognathus circumcinctus - Half Banded Spiny Eel

Ancistrus sp. 'Albino' - Albino Bristlenose Pleco from pond

Mesonoemacheilus triangularis - Batik/Zodiac Loach in my Stream Tank

Hoplisoma paleatum - Peppered Cory (High Fin Variety)

Hydrophlox chrosomus - Rainbow Shiner, Devario regina - Queen Danio, Danio rerio - Zebra Danio, Danio rerio 'frankei' - Leopard Danio, Danio roseus - Purple Passion Danio

Plant Species

Unlike with my fish, I am actively propagating most of the plants I keep and am happy to have you visit for a tour. I especially enjoy slow-growing rhizomatous plants in aquariums, such as Anubias and Bucephalandra, along with other slow growers like Cryptocoryne. I also maintain an extensive selection of marginal plants in both my ponds and several fish tanks, ranging from specialized bog species to regular and rare houseplants growing out of the tops of aquariums. This list also includes some terrestrial plants, with a special fondness for Begonias and Aroids.
