CORAL


At last!
Reef has small sun corals back in stock. Perfect for that tank that needs the little splash of colour in coral. Just ensure to feed them regularly to encourage them to open up, and keep them healthy (ring or pop into the store for more detailed info on feeding).
We have sun corals in a variety of sizes to choose from, so come in and have a look!

MARINE

This is a king angel. If you are looking to add an angel to your marine tank, this could be the one for you! As king angels can grow quite large, they are suited to a larger tank, and will get along well with tangs, and predatory fish (provided they are not yet big enough to eat an angel like this)

PLANTS

Here is one for those who keep a planted aquarium!
This is a tie dye lotus. It has great colour, in bright greens and red, with some black thrown in. To keep these successfully I'd advise good lighting, and excellent fertalisation (if you have CO2 even better!)

CICHLID

The red empress cichlid (pictured above) is an incredibly bright, multi-coloured African cichlid. Suitable to be kept with most Malawi cichlids, the males get incredible blues, greens and reds. In the store, we have available jouvenilles, and larger trios aswell as display males. Keep your eyes opened because this little fella is just going to get better and better in colour!

FRESHWATER


Here is one for the freshwater fish keepers!
At reef river reptile we always aim to keep a wide range of fancy fighter fish. Pictured above is one of our dragon fighters. Dragon fighters have a beautiful full tail, and metallic coloration that, unlike most fighters, continues all up their body.
We also stock crowntail fighters, half moon fighters, shortfin species, female fighters and standard fighters.



FRESHWATER TROPICAL



Here at reef river reptile we are BIG on our rainbows! Pictured here is one of our adult bosmani rainbows currently for sale. We also have a huge variety of juvenille rainbows, and often stock rainbows like lacustrus, goyder river, lake kamarki, parkonsoni, as well as many smaller rainbow species like pacific blue eyes, harvey creek blue eyes, honey blue eyes, threadfins, and neons.



We also carry a large variety of discus like pigeon blood, white swan, snakeskin, blue diamond, and red melon. We stock A grades, and also some lower grades for those on a budget.


MARINE


As for marine fish, it has been a great week for us! We have really amazing angels in stock including the emperor angelfish (pictured above).
We have both adult and juvenile emperor angels in a variety of sizes.


The queen angel is another beautiful and rare angel we have in stock (pictured above)


This little marine fish is a helfrics goby. They are a small fish, coral friendly and a great community fish!



And if you keep predatory or large marine fish then here is one for you!
This beautiful black and white spotted fish is a panther grouper, and his little striped eel friend is a zebra moray.

CORALS



Yes we finally have our bright colored corellamorphs back in stock!

These are an incredibly hardy soft coral, perfect for beginners. At reef river reptile we have them in every colour under the sun (seriously, everything from the bright purple you see here to the most fluro lime green, as well as blues and reds)

It is also worth mentioning our seahorses. We sell tank bred kuda seahorses. Why do we sell tank bred kuds? because they are tough and easy to feed. All our seahorses are fed on frozen mysis shrimp, so you won't have any trouble with fussy eaters!


DISPLAYS



And even if you just want to get some ideas or inspiration, it's always worth while coming in to check out our beautiful display tanks.

Our displays contain marine fish/ corals, freshwater tropicals, planted tanks, rainbow fish and african cichlids.
