How your order gets to you
- I health-check and hand-pack every order myself. Fish and shrimp go in oxygen breather bags, and everything is insulated with heat or cold packs to suit the weather.
- Livestock and plants go out by express post on a Monday, and most orders arrive in 1 to 3 business days.
- If the weather is too hot or too cold, I will let you know and hold your order until it is safe to send.
- If anything arrives dead, take a photo in the bag and email me within 24 hours. I will refund or replace it.
- When your order arrives, my acclimation guide walks you through settling them in.
Sold out for now, but more are usually on the way. Tap Notify Me When Available and you will get an email as soon as they are back.

Odessa barbs are one of the most colourful barbs in the hobby. Males develop a stunning bright red stripe running along their body that is hard to miss. They are active, confident fish that bring real energy and colour to a community tank. Best kept in a group where the males will display and compete, showing their best colours.
Home-bred by me in QLD and raised on live food for the best colour and health.
