I traded in some nice fish for this beautiful Chili Oscar! His lips are a little sore because he’s been making out with a much larger female. They hit it off immediately! No eggs yet, but I expect something to happen soon.

Clown Knifefish can get huge in the wild. But they grow slow and steady, unlike Oscars. So I don’t think he’ll be an issue for a while.

I just scored 3 banana plants! Two musa zebrina and one “truly tiny banana”. According to AI🤖, they will grow great with their roots submerged and the tops out. And grow fast too! Free bananas for all the Kip’s Aquatics followers!

This is a Clown Featherback (Chitala Ornata). I have a much bigger one that I liked so much that I brought two more small ones. They do get big, but they are not fast growers. So it’s manageable.

They’re kinda shy and mostly nocturnal. I’m having a hard time getting you a good picture of the big one. For you. Stay tuned!

Big female oscar and big male blood parrot (sterile hybrid). They fight like this all the time. I think what’s happening is the female oscar wants a male oscar, and the hybrid just wants to mate with whoever is willing. It has identity issues. The blood parrot is going to find a new home eventually when I move more oscars in. Weird mixed up fish.

I have two Polypterus Endlicheri. The largest of the genus, they can reach up to 30”. I’ve got a pair but they probably won’t reproduce for a couple years. I was lucky to get a male! Only about 30% are born male.

These are my two long fin oscars. They’ve been selectively bred for those long, flowing fins. But they are sort bland for color. They actually look more like wild fish. When you select your breeders based on the length of their fins rather than color, that can happen. They’ve grown fast and have been moved to the 220 gallon and are doing well!
