We Ordered ALL These Fish From AFRICA | Unboxing Rare Tropical Fish

[@Xenoaquaria]

The bichirs at 10:28 are in fact Polypterus mokelembembe.

[@devinross8071]

Mokes and teugelsi are so underrated.

[@Ian-qw1zb]

African leaf fish also known as a
leopard ctenopoma and I believe they are a labyrinth fish. I've had my guy for about 6 years now as big as I've ever seen one get. Pretty neat fish it lives with a big Midas cichlid with a huge kok on his head. This guy's ill-tempered but it's hilarious whenever he swims by the leaf fish the leaf fish just pretends it's a leaf and he doesn't bother it at all... Instead he just chases the Big Red Hook silver dollars or my feather fin upside down synodontis cat(who's a jerk, himself) around all day and leaves the leaf fish alone,. Leaf fish can be pretty aggressive too that's kind of how we ended up in there with the Midas.

[@YetiRC]

I'm having Deja vu... lmao

[@Shade_91]

those are 100% mokelembembe Bichir 😂 you can tell from the marble pattern black and yellow stripped front fins and spines also Retropinnis has a distinct speckling around the eyes

[@brittanybors6893]

I have 2 African leaf fish, and I absolutely love them! Great fish with big personalities and big appetites! I'm glad to see someone finally having some in stock.

[@msvaleriah]

There are some gorgeous fish in this shipment. I really liked the leaf fish. It would be awesome to watch you guys grow out a couple of Mbu puffers for the showroom.

[@cayteowands]

Nice shipment 😍 Synodontis are so underrated 🎯💞

[@devinross8071]

Congicus and Lapridei are the ones that are fairly different. Congicus are typically more gray and larger than the lapradei. Lapradei also have horizontal stripes and small spots. Congicus are more round as well. Lapradei are more similar to Polypterus Bichir Bicher, while congicus are more similar to Polypterus Endlicheri.

[@drkingslend]

Rod, Kevin I love this! I got a 50 gal west African setup and its been the funnest tank Ive ever set up! Partly because its hard to find fish from there lol. I have 2 African leaffish (also called bushfish), with congo tetras - the regular ones, cant find fancy ones like you guys got!, and also a brown knifefish and African butterflyfish, nice to see you guys getting the super rare!

[@kendallkahl8725]

Those tetra sure are pretty its a trip how their colors change in relation to movement and light the same pattern going from gold to purple.

[@SunCity713]

Nothing but love and positive vibes for predatory fins ❤

[@connormeharg1137]

9:10 please grow out a MBU!!! 🤩🤩

[@michelrood2966]

I've seen those retropinnis being caught in ponds in Florida

[@tracydeacon674]

South Florida got hit with 2 tornados yesterday I think. Was pretty bad. Ask Nick Bingo n Paul Cuffaro

[@u_s_scaper]

Those “retropinnis” definitely looked to be Mokelembembe. Retro are more often confused with Polli if anything.

[@transta00]

Rod, call Kevin Leng Zia and see how he reacts! Keep up the great work guys.

[@bichir.dude.papabol]

Those are Mokelembembe. Not retropinnis

[@andrewsalter3319]

Shut up

[@pauledwards5607]

those catfish are COOL !!! there were a few species I'd like to get. Great shipment and great video.

[@samwise719]

Awesome leaf fish went to buy one but couldn't find it on the website did they sell out already

[@Jim_____]

I loved my African leaf fish. Little sucker schwacked my zebra loaches though 😂

[@daemonkiller4920]

Got a Goliath Tigerfish from you guys and it’s absolutely awesome!! Can’t wait to order from you guys again!!!

[@coyslilfishery9713]

you 100 percent need an MBU for the showroom. Such a fun interactive fish. Its like coming home to a dog

[@asantemayo1007]

Hella dope fish

[@toaster3822]

Duuude every live stream ive been asking for Tropheus from lake Tanginika.

[@Spacenow869]

there are importers from rift lakes in usa. You should look there.

[@v-man372]

I always love an unboxing video and this shipment was great fun. 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@mateuszx17]

The african arowana was the only for me from this shipment and the best, even in good big size, in some countries people don't have these kind of fishes.

[@dyllons81]

I dont know if you guys are interested, but there is a bichir handbook that tells about them

[@DecayingReality]

When are you guys getting some Exodon's in? Every place online is always out of stock.

[@kendallkahl8725]

Ever get any African Moonfish or charachins along those lines?

[@SnapeKillsDumbledore2k10]

The retropinnis polypterus photos you have on the website appear to be palmas polli not retropinnis.

[@SnapeKillsDumbledore2k10]

Those that you’ve gotten in as retropinnis definitely look like mokelembembe to me. The differences are mostly discernible just by looking at them once they’ve colored up on a red or black substrate.

[@Shade_91]

@@SnapeKillsDumbledore2k10 they are, Polypterus Retropinnis is probably the most misidentified Bichir in the hobby. funny enough i ordered a Mokelembebe and got a Retropinnis (from another store) 😂 you are right about the website photos being Polli too idk why the hobby has such a hard time with identifying Bichirs.

[@readyalways1414]

Great shipment BIG DOGGIE 💯👣

[@rafiki1862]

African leaf fish are my favorite I got 2 females ive had for 4 years now

[@danielvelez4001]

Awesome faygy

[@Spacenow869]

awesome tetras.

[@kennykirkpatrick1297]

Love a giraffe i would say one of the best cats

[@joeterrill1499]

Great shipment

[@Fishandfootball]

First like 🎉 been waiting for this! Loving the videos guys

[@emilotero3042]

all love to you guys, the only thing to say is to place your mic not to close.

[@evilrooster9960]

Do you guys ever get any Gnathocharax Steindachneri (Arowana Tetra) in?? I REALLY wanna make a nice 100 gallon with them and live plants, etc and they're a perfect candidate for your shop. Small 2 inch tetras with a huge mouth, sharp teeth, and big African Butterflyfish-esque pectoral fins, almost like a mini version of a Payara but with a little splash of color by the tail. I have NO IDEA where they could be sourced from, no place i've seen has them sadly and they're little known in the hobby from what I know.

[@lisamcnair9420]

When are they going on the website?

[@starwars11ify]

Definitely a mbu puffer tank and a cross river puffer tank right next to it!!

[@nickmiller2067]

Yes def grow out some big MBUs

[@kellywalsh6735]

👍for fay ji and yes for growing out a MBU puffer

[@bradleyyoung698]

Do you guys ever see any Hemichromis Multidens on the list for Africa? 🙏

[@mikemontgomery2654]

Those leaf fish are really cool.

[@tewantepo624]

how much for Siamese tigerfishs? I really want to buy.

[@raschan6911]

Most definitely grow a pair of MBU puffers

[@tammyschultz3318]

I like all the fish that are in the tank with the leaf fish.. and of course the puffer. Heck yaaa need to grow a big one, dont know how old to sex them, but one of each be cool. Great shipment.

[@divemasteruk]

African synodontis are amazing, best cats out there, many years ago I had about 15 different synos

[@bayou504ctcL9]

Do yall have any Polleni cichlids availability ?

[@Hialeahrey]

Great Shipment Guys Thumbs Up Fiji 🙏

[@ronygomes9790]

I want to know how much for African leave fish price

[@PredatoryFins]

[@TY_224]

Retro-penis😭

[@WilliamTheDestroyer.]

It's pronounced Retro pin nis.

[@coolkanchu9598]

Retropenis 😄😄

[@DeChane369]

👍🏻Africa has some of my favorites and he did not disappoint at all!

[@lahindu]

Big fan from Sri lanka❤️

[@markhutchins3643]

“Unique but different” quote of the day!

[@karenthomas2302]

May have heard this already the saying is pinch poke you owe me a coke when y’all say something the same together. lol beautiful shipment. Tfs

[@Badfish277]

I love both of those congo tetras. Pretty rare in the hobby. Wish i could afford a nice group of both species.

[@zekethefishgeek8690]

Phago maculatus yes yes yes

[@jaxxonfishroom]

Awesome video 😊 I'd love to have a fish from Africa

[@Its.savedie]

[@lifefanatic1115]

Omg omg omg omg this is the shipment I've bin waiting for!!!!!! Ima buy so many tetras. Im so excited rn cause most my tank is already african fish!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@oscardean6351]

You guys should do an African only take without the little cichlids That would make for a lovely odd ball tank 👍🫠

[@shaned7569]

👍👍👍 give the man some chicken nuggets 😂

[@samuelrichard7915]

Beautiful fish 👍🔥💯

[@wadehiggins1114]

Opposites attract 😂😂

[@thomasrietveld5583]

i actually have 2 if those african leaf fish, here in the netherlands they're called leopard gourami.But in comparison to gourami's, these guys are not very nice to other fish haha, they get really big as well! Love to see u guys bringing them back!

[@R4drrOfficial]

Did you keep two in the same tank because I am wanting some and I was curious if I could keep an Amazon leaf fish and an African leaf fish or two Africans together

[@billmeyer4773]

Always nice to see new fish.
How big do those Tetras get???

[@Chasing247]

Bichers!!!!!🎉🎉🎉

[@scottblesi2469]

Fajai deserves all the nuggets, that was a exalent shipment

[@elimwrld872]

Any interest in getting African Chiclids in?

[@zebedeemadness2672]

Personally i call (Heterotis niloticus) African arapaimas as they are more related to the South American arapaimas than they are to any Arowanas, with both (Heterotis) and (Arapaima) being in the subfamily Arapaiminae the Arapaima-types, rather than the subfamily Osteoglossinae the Arowana-types.

[@user-my4uy4fy9o]

Hi who is your supplier in Congo as i live in Africa and would like to purchase some

[@raffertychau6999]

Great fish

[@charlesmeek7419]

You should keep a couple puffers

[@martinkruse7675]

I love the unboxing. But the music over takes you talking.

[@peterrandall9769]

when do you open the public?

[@alicichlid6805]

Interesting, I often see African leaf fish in uk stores

[@matthewcagley3955]

Those are polypterus mokelembembe

[@koenpolstra6060]

Great fish ❤

[@themarkedman72]

Those pinnis have got some serious length. Very girthy, thick even. I have two pet pinnis, I called one Ron and the other Jeremy.

[@madaboutmilitaria3630]

😂😂😂retro pinnis comes in all shapes and sizes

[@martijndewaal8169]

Those polypterus are 100% polypterus mokelembembe and not polypterus retropinnis. They get mixed up almost always. But they are both insanely rare polypterus species and both look amazinngggg and can get very green.

[@maartenpeters7936]

Music in the beginning is to loud. Almost can't hear you speak

[@zekethefishgeek8690]

Get some Mesoborus crocodilus in from Africa...
Bad AF...

[@randallskinner7648]
