Hey Everyone,
Another reminder that we are CLOSED MONDAY for Memorial day! We will not be in the office to take phone calls or orders. We are not shipping anything out Monday for Tuesday arrival. Tuesday will basically be "monday' for this upcoming week, so as long as your order has reached your sales rep BEFORE 9 AM on Tuesday, we can pack it Tuesday for Wednesday arrival.
We hope everyone has a great holiday weekend, and part of that is selling lots of fish! We HIGHLY recommend not being closed for Memorial day unless you're an owner/operator that desperately needs a break. Everyone closes, so if you're the store that's open, you'll be SLAMMED busy all day long. Especially if you run a sale. This is a great opportunity to take advantage of our EDLP Specials we've been offering a few weeks now and run a BOGO on neon tetras, platies, mollies, and everything else on our EDLP special.
On the fish front, the main focus this week for the eye-catching new stuff was definitely the cichlid category. The large brichardi you see up top are fantastic, but we also got plenty of Ndiwe Fire Haps at a great adult male size. These are probably the best looking fish we ever get. The color is so intense on this species they literally look fake in the photo down below, but that's a completely unedited photo. Medium mixed Haps, Medium mixed Peacock males, and the new Livingstoni Mediums are all very nice as well.
We forgot to mention from Peru last week we got a few thousand Bleeding Heart Tetras. Not sure how everyone involved in making the email overlooked those, but here we are. Now you've got an extra week of quarantine time on them, so it works out better for you to make sure you're got some nice healthy bleeding hearts.
In other bread and butter community type stuff, Gold Barbs came in absolutely massive. After being out of stock for a month or so, it's always funny to me when the first restock has them huge instead of tiny. Colombian and black phantom tetras are also still coming in great size. Longfin serpaes still much better than normal serpaes.

|
|
| We offer corals through our partner and ex-employee Chris at ACI Aquaculture. He is growing some incredible cultured frags at his facility down the road from us, and importing from the best sources in the world. Whether you're looking for cheap frags that will sell well (single headed aussie duncans, assorted zoanthids, montis) or you're looking for an S-grade Scolymia worthy of any display tank of the best stores in the world, you can get that here. There's honestly so much on the list you can easily triple your money on with minimal effort, that every store that sells saltwater should be getting some corals from us every week. |
|
 |
| Flagtail Prochilodus are about 4.5-5 inches and on special this week! Great larger schooling fish for big tanks. |
|
 |
| Bleeding Heart Tetras are back from Peru! We actually got these last week but totally forgot about them, so they've been QT'd for an extra week for you |
|
 |
| Melanistus Cory cats are big and bold. Best cory for the money this week for sure. |
|
 |
| Farlowellas, for those of you that like your algae eaters to look as stick-like as possible. They're actually phenomenally good algae eaters, a fact i think most people don't realize. |
|
 |
| We've got lots and lots of amazing looking Zebra plecos this week. Enough that we put them on special. These don't go on sale often, so take advantage while you can! |
|
 |
| Green Phantoms are I believe listed as small, but they're not actually small. About 4 inches, like this one you can see here. |
|
 |
| Snowballs are also in good numbers from Colombia this week. |
|
 |
| Clown plecos are out of stock, but we did get a restock on Rubber Lips. If you need smaller plecos, these are your go-to this week. |
|
 |
| Brown Ghosts are great size as usual, probably 6-7 inches average. |
|
 |
| Blue Tiger Parrots are GREAT size this week. Some of the males are pushing 3 inches, a welcome change from the normal size these fish get imported at. |
|
 |
| Blood Parrot mediums are still available. Much, much nicer looking then the small size, well worth the extra couple bucks. |
|
 |
| Borneo Suckers are back and have a great variety of patterns and colors. All are great algae eaters though! |
|
 |
| Samurai Gouramis are limited this week, but what's here looks good showing plenty of nice green color. |
|
 |
| Small Panda Garra restock. They're not quite big enough to show their characteristic stripes yet, but they're very close. Great algae-eaters. |
|
 |
| Oprange Chromides sold out almost instantly a few weeks ago when we last got them, so restock is here. They're one of the best looking smaller cichlids. These are almost community fish unless they're guarding eggs. |
|
 |
| Uaru came in again at regular size. This is the best possible size for them, once they're a "medium" the price triple, and the "large" price is 5X higher. Get them as regulars and grow them out. |
|
 |
| Delhezi Bichir restocked for those that want a fancier bichir than just the normal or albino senegals. |
|
 |
| Venezuelan Black Cory. Excellent size, tank raised! |
|
 |
| Lemon Tetras are looking great this week, good size and plenty of that nice yellow color you don't get in any other tetras. |
|
 |
| Suprisingly, still have some absolutely monstrous Colombian Tetras hanging around from last week. Grab them before they're gone, i'm sure when we get a restock they'll be back to normal size (and the price never changes) |
|
 |
| Black Phantoms I'm almost tired of highlighting, but you need to know what looks best, and the reality is these have been one of the best looking tetras for the last month straight. |
|
 |
| Bloodfin Tetra |
|
 |
| Ember Tetra |
|
 |
| Blind Cave Tetras are running oversized as well, great oddball tetra |
|
 |
| Longfin Serpaes look great right now too, coming in with very nice finnage. |
|
 |
| Gold barbs came in this week and are absolutely huge. I'm sure the size wont last long, so pack early (Tuesday) to make sure you get the big ones. |
|
 |
| Albino Veiltail Cherry Barb |
|
 |
| Lyretail Guppy |
|
 |
| Red Honey Gouramis are still coming in consistently amazing. Super bright red coloration in these right now. |
|
 |
| Hawaiian Variatus are restocked, and look great as well. They do look slightly different from what Hawaiian variatus look like on Google Images, so make sure you see the picture here and realize this is what you'll get. Still a fantastic looking fish, just slightly different than the industry norm. |
|
 |
| Extra Large sized platies are big and impressive. Also a great mix of colors and types! Including some really cool looking platies that we DONT get to sell individually, so every batch of these has a few surprises in it. |
|
 |
| Deepwater Creek Rainbows are looking better and better every week as the water warms up. I would suggest calling them "Firetail" rainbows, I think you'll sell them much easier with a cool name like that other than the list name. |

Central/South American Cichlids
|
|
 |
| Blue Rams are coming in a little nicer lately. Not a ton of blue color yet like you normally see in the FL bred fish, but the yellow and red is more prominent now. |
|
 |
| 2 inch Cuban Cichlids are a little oversized, and look awesome. These are one of my favorite CA cichlids, they turn almost ghost white background on the cool black patches when they're dominant adults. |
|
 |
| Medium EB Acaras still looking awesome. Definitely worth the upcharge over the regulars, which are about 2 inches compared to the 3 inch of the medium. |
|
 |
| Red Devil 3 inches are mostly the piebald types like this. These are far more desirable to most people, including myself. The red and white contrast looks super cool, and gets more defined as they grow. |
|
 |
| We got some of the biggest Rainbow Cichlids I've ever seen today. We're listing as "medium" but they should be large, I don't think they get any bigger than this. Males are in full color like this one pictured here. |
|
 |
| Albino German Red Peacocks came in fantastic! I think we have them on the list as "Red Fire Albino", but it's this fish, and they're German Reds. |
|
 |
| Ndiwe Fire Haps are back by popular demand! These are hands down the best looking fish on the farm at the moment. You can't beat this level of coloration, and the blue and red combo is sooooo nice. |
|
 |
| Regular sized Albino Comps are always super nice. The yellow coloration comes through at a young age on this fish, and they look great. I'm not an albino fish fan, but I like these. |
|
 |
| Medium Livingstoni are new for this week. We do also have assorted medium haps, which include Livingstoni, but if you want all Livingstoni now you can just get them like this. |
|
 |
| Large Livingstoni from the large mixed male Haps. This is what adult males look like, with a nice blue face! |
|
 |
| Red Zebras are common and boring, but looking very good right now. Rich deep red color. |
|
 |
| Same as above, I know these are probably the most common and widespread mbuna in the hobby (Socolofi) but they do look very good right now. Never overlook the classics! |
|
 |
| large Albino Pacu |
|
 |
| Balloon Red Eye Tetra |
|
 |
| X RayTetra |
|
 |
| Orange Rabbit Snail |
|
 |
| Brochis Spendens cory. We are going to start using a few of our new and improved website photos in the email here to show them off. One of our employees is basically a professional wildlife photographer, and he's getting some absolutely incredible shots of our fish. |
