Plecostomus, Cories, and Endler’s for Presale and Pickup at the 2026 Ultra-Aqua, June 13-14, 2026
Presale orders are being taken for rare or endangered South American catfish species and Endler’s livebearers.
Confirmed buyers will be able to pay cash and pickup their presale orders during The 2026 Ultra- Aqua Swap Meet, Noon to 5 pm, Saturday, June 13, 2026, at the Tallmadge Community Center, Tallmadge, Ohio. (Arrangements can be made for cash payment and pickup on Sunday, June 14, 2026.) No money will be collected before The 2026 Ultra- Aqua Swap Meet.
Because quantities are limited, presale orders will be on a first-received, first-reserved basis.
Presale orders must be received by 9 pm on June 5, 2026. (That is, presale orders end June 5.)
Eight catfish species are being offered from the catfish families Loricariidae [Suckermouth Armored Catfishes] and Corydoradinae [Scleromystax]. Fish will be 1 inch or larger in total length. In addition, several Endler’s livebearers (Poecilia wingei) are being offered for presale. See lists below.
Notes: F1 fish are offspring of two wild parents. F2 fish are produced by breeding two F1 fish. F3 fish are produced by breeding two F2 fish.
