Dwarf Pencilfish (Nannostomus marginatus)

Bought the remaining 5 stock they had and I want more! They school so beautifully and are doing great in my planted community tank full of tetras. Much less fickle or aggressive than the coral red pencils as well. Highly recommend this fish for a fully planted tank. Great price as well...!

The first time I ordered these, unfortunately the delays caused by Canada Post caused 100% DOA. Angelfins came through with their awesome customer service and refunded me for the DOAs, and as soon as the next shipment came, I bought myself another group of 10. I used FedEx this time - I noticed Angelfins had put stickers that said "VERY URGENT" in numerous places to help ensure that FedEx knew it was a very time sensitive package which I absolutely appreciated and loved because the FedEx delivery person noticed and I got the package in like 17 hrs which is absolutely phenomenal, considering how backlogged a lot of couriers are. The fish came in very healthy and active. I find it adorable how their little fins flutter like a hummingbirds wings and like that they tend to stick together.

I Love pencil fish a Unique fish. Every chance I get I buy them .The last time I had dwarf pencil fish it lived a little over three years very impressive for such a small fish. Angelfish very healthy fish excellent communication and prompt delivery

ordered 6 of them, one didn't make it, died in a few days. all the rest 5 live happily. Even when the two rainbow kribs breeded and messed up the tank, three of them survive with high pressure, and they are back to normal after I removed the pair of kribs. Highly recommended, group behavior is funny to watch. Waiting for next batch.

Pencilfish are fantastic alternatives to tetras and rasboras. It is a shame that they aren’t very popular because they have fantastic personalities. Thanks for brining these fish in Jarmila. 1/6 died for no reason (looked healthy) but the remaining 5 are doing fine even after a few weeks. Definitely will be getting more in the future.
