Weeping Moss
A unique aquarium moss with fronds that droop downward, creating a distinctive weeping effect. Perfect for attaching to driftwood or rock overhangs for dramatic visual impact.

Vampire Crab
A small, semi-terrestrial crab with striking purple coloration and bright yellow eyes. Requires a paludarium setup with both land and water areas.
King Kong Shrimp
A solid black color morph of Caridina cantonensis with minimal white markings. One of the rarest and most expensive shrimp variants. Requires expert-level water parameters.
Ghost Shrimp
A see-through, feather-light scavenger sold by the handful. Tough across 3-15 dGH and a wide temperature band. Beware mislabeled tankmates: true Ghost Shrimp is Palaemon paludosus, while the larger, more predatory Macrobrachium species are often sold under the same name.
Thai Micro Crab
A pea-sized, fully aquatic crab - no land zone needed - that perches on driftwood and picks microparticles from the water. Fragile and easily overlooked; keep a group of 3 or more in a mature nano tank, and never expose it to copper or sharp parameter swings.
