Species Overview

Dwarf Gourami

The dwarf gourami is a brightly colored labyrinth fish native to the slow-moving waters of South Asia. Males build elaborate bubble nests at the surface for spawning. Its pelvic fins have evolved into long, thread-like feelers used to sense the environment.

Tarpon

The tarpon is often called the 'Silver King' for its large mirror-like scales and acrobatic leaps. This ancient species has existed for over 100 million years and can breathe air using a modified swim bladder.
