Surprise! NAR Reveal #14 – A familiar Lake Tanganyika catfish with a very uncommon look, albino Synodontis petricola! From our very generous friends at Aquatic Voyeurs, these fish have traded the familiar dark-spotted pattern for a pale albino form that you don’t come across nearly as often.

One of the smaller and more peaceful members of Synodontis growing to around 4 to 5 inches, they are social and do best in groups.

Want something a little different cruising through your rockwork? Keep your bidder card handy when these come up for auction tomorrow!

NAR Reveal #13 – And what’s a GPASI auction without an awesome pleco?! Our final reveal, Hypancistrus sp. L454 (Atabapo Zebra Pleco)! From Eric Bodrock and All Oddball Aquatics, these are tank-raised, unsexed 2.25-inch fish.

Not just another striped pleco, L454 originates from the Río Atabapo region of Colombia and Venezuela and has had very limited availability in the hobby. If a rare Hypancistrus has been on your wish list, keep that bidder card ready because you may not see L454 come across an auction table very often.

NAR Reveal #11 – If you’re familiar with pufferfish, forget almost everything you think you know and meet the freshwater Amazon Puffer (Colomesus asellus)!

Our friends at Rich’s Fishes, LLC have put in the hard work with these fish, getting them to accept frozen foods and even some dry foods, in addition to live snails. They’ve also completed observational quarantine and are looking healthy, active and ready to go.

These Amazon Puffers are constantly on the move and, unlike many puffers, are social fish that can be kept in groups. They’re also generally less aggressive and nippy than many of their pufferfish relatives , earning them the name “friendly puffers.”

One look at these guys in the New and Rare section and you’ll probably be raising your bidder card.
