Despite the impact of Covid-19 on international freight, the importers continue to offer an impressive selection of aquarium fish. For nano tank fans there are dwarf rasbora (Boraras maculatus), emerald dwarf rasbora (Celestichthys erythromicron), Beckford’s pencilfish, Norman’s lampeye, pygmy corys, and HaraHara cats. And if you have a small coldwater tank it’s hard to go past white cloud mountain minnows (available as standard and gold).
