Important Information:

• Independent research prior to purchasing a fish you are unfamiliar with is highly suggested. Different fish can have a variety of characteristics that can make them difficult to manage, incompatible with other fish, or require more complicated care than expected. For example, many freshwater fish vary in color and shape based on their sex, age, or where they were caught, as well as nutrition and demanding water conditions. Some species also require tremendous amount of attention and specific maintenance for them to thrive in their environment. Furthermore, the addition of certain fish to an already existing aquarium or tank can have a wide range of consequences, from an undesired change in the dynamic of the aquarium to the potential death of other fish. Taking the time to research extensively on the specific fish, such as nutrition and behavior, and consider expert opinions, can ensure that your fish can thrive and coexist in the upcoming habitat.
