Yellow phantom tetra
Hyphessobrycon roseus
Hyphessobrycon roseus is a small phantom-type tetra (syn. Megalamphodus roseus) from the Maroni and Oyapock river basins (French Guiana/Guianas region). It is best kept in a planted, softwater setup in a group, where males may display but are generally peaceful.
Zebra Danio
Danio rerio
Zebra danios are those nonstop little stripey rockets that zip around the top and middle of the tank like they've had three espressos. They're super fun in a group because they chase, spar, and "race" each other without really meaning harm, and that constant motion makes the whole tank feel alive.
Zebra pleco
Hypancistrus zebra
This is the famous black-and-white striped L-number pleco (L046) from the Rio Xingu, and it really does look like a little underwater zebra. Its best traits are how cavey and secretive it is by day, then it pops out at night to hunt meaty foods - and the male will guard eggs in a cave if you ever breed them. It is not an algae-cleaner pleco, so think of it more like a tiny, warm-water, rock-dwelling catfish with attitude over caves.
