These African clawed frogs are entirely aquatic and thrive in an ordinary freshwater aquarium. They are often used in developmental studies and genetic experiments.

Grass frogs are low maintenance and seasonally available, typically from September to July.

Brachydanio rerio.

Poecilia reticulata.

Highly aggressive. Beautiful but socially challenged, male “Siamese fighting fish” will duel with each other — or even with their own reflection in a mirror — and flare their colorful fins in an impressive display of territoriality. When females are present, males will try to “impress” them. Females can coexist; males must be kept separate. Care instructions are included. Size: 1 1/2–2".

Drosophila melanogaster, the common fruit fly, is widely used in genetic studies because they express a number of mutations such as eye, wing, and body mutations.

This harmless insect parasitizes the Sarcophaga (flesh fly) pupae. Females usually lay 30–50 eggs in the pupae, which provide food for the Nasonia larvae when they hatch.
