    Cichlids Ahoy!  Tons of absolutely beautiful Florida bred fish in stock all at the same time this week.  We've got everything from fancy mix regular mbunas up to show quality premium-grade peacocks, and everything in between like these awesome Zebra Obliquidens.  These are the best looking zebras I think i've ever seen in person, and they're very reasonably priced.  Check below for all the other goodies.

    Hey folks,

    We're all running around scrambling at the last minute to finalize everything for Super Zoo, which we leave for tomorrow morning, so I'm replicating the Friday email with the tons of awesome pictures for this Monday email.  If you didn't see this one, you'll defintiely want to check it out all the way to the bottom, where we include some very rare Tanganyikan stuff (among other things) that we normally don't bring in to see if there's much interest for it out there.  Let us know!  

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (from Friday)

    As far as fish go, we brought in a TON of cichlids to bring to the show and advertise Florida's quality (as the only vender from Florida displaying fish).  We're not taking everything and have lots of premium quality fish to sell you all this upcoming week.  If you've been wanting show quality Africans, now is your time to go crazy, there's nothing better to be holding out for...this is the best stuff in the country, bar none.  

    Honestly, it's so much stuff that I'm just going to let you enjoy pictures and I have the descriptions in the captions.  I put the SKU numbers for a couple that have similar items also in stock to make sure you know which ones you're looking at in the photo.  

    Asian imports didn't have anythign crazy new in them this week, but did restock some of the most popular and in demand fish that had run out, like the Flowerhorns and Figure 8 Puffers.  Lots of livebearers restocked as well like the excellent Bumblebee platies and Koi Swords, as well as expecting a huge Guppy restock Sunday like normal.  

    Reach out to your rep if you have any questions.

    Old World Cichlids
    The above 4 photos are representations of the "XL Peacock" (sku #60303).  These are some of the most impressive fish I've ever seen come through the doors, and you won't want to miss out on these.  Honestly, the price isn't even that bad considering how incredible and show stopping these are.  Basically fully grown, and in full color while also being less common color morphs like those solid yellow OB's.  Beautiful.  
    LG Male Ahli (not on the stock list, but for sale).  These are NOT the medium male ahli on the stock list, Please do not order those expecting these.  We will have a SKU and price on the Monday list for these and the other couple fish that got left off..  
    Large Rusty Mbuna (Not on stocklist, but for sale)
    Medium Borleyi Redfin Haps
    The above 3 pictures are examples of peacocks in the Florida mixed Medium Peacock (Sku number 6378).  All naturally colored peacocks (some might be hybridized with haps for better color).  
    Large Acei Mbunas are the biggest, chonkiest Mbuna I've seen in person in years.  Excellent fish if you're looking for big impressive cichlids for a lower price than the peacocks and haps.
    Medium Snow White Socos are super crisp solid white fish that look fantastic.  Much cooler than albino fish, there's something about how absolutely purely white they are.  
    The new E.B. Johanni are a really neat looking variant that has a "powder blue" appearance instead of the dark lines.  And they're very inexpensive for the color and size.  Great purchase while they last.
    4 Inch Peacocks from Asia are back in stock, and were very popular last time.  If you want some cichlids with color already and a decent size to them, but think the Florida bred fish (which are much better and imo 100% worth it) are too pricey to sell in your area, these are your best option. 
    Asia Imports
    Got a few more of the 4 inch clown loaches to restock, and we actually never ran out this past week!  You've got a good chance of getting them filled.  
    New batch of Flowerhorns looks even better than the last.  This is a super average-looking fish out of the tank.
    Red Honey Gouramis came in super nice size and very bright red again this week.  This is I'd say twice as nice as normal, so stock up now! 
    Figure 8 Puffers back in stock, and much better size than the spotted puffers.
    Community Standouts
    5" Albino Rainbow Shark are always super popular when available, and a great option to pick up.  People love seeing full grown versions of the community stuff that normally comes in much smaller.  
    The rarest fish in America are back in stock!  That's right, the common pleco over 2 inches in size.  Got some 4 inch and even 5 inch in stock this week, but numbers are limited like they have been for months now. 
    Red Eye Tetras are running well above average size
    T-Barbs are back in stock, and good size.  They look better in the tank underwater, but they're too fast to get a decent picture of.  Would make a great dither fish.  
    Longfin Rosy Barbs are still coming in well above average looking.
    Balloon Molly are a great mix like usual.
    Beautiful new batch of Bumblebee Platies.
    Kohaku Koi Sword
    Green Sword
    Central/South American Cichlids
    New size of rams, Florida Bred Blue Mediums are in stock!!   MUCH better than the regular sized blue rams.  I'd definitely try ordering these first.  This is a female pictured here, and even the girls look this good.  
    Maybe the least exciting thing I've ever photographed, but they're new so here you go.  Medium sized Convicts now in stock!  
    Regular Heckelii are finally back in stock.  We've had 3 ,4, 5 inch in the past few months, but regulars have been absent.  
    XL Red Spot Gold Severums, have 2 available.  Might be able to get some more next week, ask rep for price (or check Monday email).
    Cool Rare Stuff Going To SuperZoo We Can Usually Get if You Want
    We brought in a lot of really cool stuff for Super Zoo, and honestly this is stuff we can get every couple of weeks if there's demand for it.  We're just really not sure if there are enough of you out there that are wanting to pay for this sort of high-end and larger sized cichlids.  Let your rep know if you're interested in anything and we can get you a price.  A few of these do actually have a fish or two available currently, because we're not taking 100% of everything we brought in to the show.   
    Albino Trewavassae are usually available.  These cost MUCH more than a normal mbuna though, because you have to produce 150  fish to end up with a handful that are actually albino.  But if you've got customers that want cool looking mbuna they've never seen for sale at other shops before, here's a great candidate. 
    Albino Taiwan Reef are something we can get, both in large males like this or the regular sized young. 
    Cyprichromis.  One of my personal favorite groups of cichlids, they're almost literally just freshwater Anthias.  Incredibly cool.  But they only produce a few babies at a time, and they're in high demand so they're not cheap.  
    Good sized Lelupi.  They look so much better when they're adults than when babies.
    Large sized Calvus/Comprecciceps are something we can usually get, but the price keeps us from trying them.  Maybe there's stores out there that are looking for high end stuff like this though, so let us know if you're interested (These cost more than a large show quality peacock or hap at 3 inches).  
    Buccochromis Nototaenia.  Holy crap did I spell that right without google?  i think I did.  I'm going with it.    We can get small ones for a somewhat reasonable price, but we feel like nobody ever asks for this species or is looking for it.  Let us know if we're wrong.  
    One of our sources has one of the best quality lines of Lemon Jakes I've seen anywhere.  We can get these for you, but they're not going to be "normal" medium peacock price.  We feel like most stores don't want to pay extra for "AAA" grade fish with the best possible genetics, but maybe we're wrong.  Let us know! 
    Same breeder has some absolutely incredible albino jakes too.  The streamers on the fins on these are just incredible.  Taking this one to the show, but we can bring them in the future if you're looking for better quality albinos like this.
