There's nothin' cheesy about these L393 Cheese Creek Ancistrus 😤😤 With the same easy care and algae eating prowess of the common Bristelnose, the L393 brings a beautiful pattern and light coloration that's hard to find. Maxing out at ~4 inches, these are a great fit for any tank 15 gallons or more.

Looking for a new show-stopper? Apistogramma baenschi will make everyone stop and look!

A blackwater fish with a native range from Peru's Río Huallaga, they appreciate softer water and lower a pH from 4-6. They max out around 3 inches (females a bit smaller), making them a great choice for tanks 15 gallons or more.

We've got two more males here at the store, so pick them up while they're here!
