From packing to unpacking.
All 32 reached safely without any bag puncture and water loss.
The inner layer of millex sheet saves us a lot of our time on packing stress for us and gives us a peace of mind for easily 48 hrs plus of travel.
Ammo lock to prevent ammonia build up.
Thick Styrofoam box for temperature holding.

Finally a peaceful way of shipping.
Things are learnt from masters of the industry.

Thank You Hudson Crizanto Gonçalves for the fishes.

Altolamprologus compressiceps ‘Mpasa’ 🐟

A stunning Tanganyikan cichlid known for its laterally compressed body, distinctive profile and predatory nature. The Mpasa variant is especially appreciated for its beautiful coloration and unique character.

Native to Lake Tanganyika, this species is a fascinating addition to a carefully planned African cichlid aquarium. Its unusual body shape and hunting behaviour make it a true oddity for serious fish keepers.

At THE OTHER AQUARIST, we bring rare and unusual aquatic life closer to passionate hobbyists across India.
