Hey Folks,
Gonna be a brief intro this week as a number of us have been struck down with what I am assuming is the bubonic plague lol. Ok, maybe that's a bit of a stretch but whatever it is it is not pleasant and I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy. With that being said we do have a quick highlights I'd like to go over. First and foremost (also the most limited) are the Kribensis. These are tank raised out of the far east and usually come in around an inch or so but thee are practically subadult size and showing full color. Hands down the nicest we've had since I've been here. Next up if you haven't been keeping up with the newsletter we recently got a new Sri Lanka supplier (mostly for livebearers) and their stock ahs been nothing short of outstanding, especially the Guppies. Each week we've been trying new varieties and so far we have not been disappointed with a single one. Can't go wrong with any of them but if you're not sure whish one to choose ask your rep for suggestions, everyone here has some personal favorites. Next up that wasn't on the Friday email are the XL Marigold Platies. Not exactly an earthshattering species but a must have inventory item and these are the best one in house. And the last one I want to mention before I go drown myself with cold medicine are the Featherfin Rainbows. We scratched quite a few of these last week but this week they're back with a vengeance. Huge and absolutely spectacular. I actually want to hold onto some for Global but that's a ways away.
From Friday:
Starting with the most popular thing, we got a small batch of Dwarf Pea Puffers. These are THE most popular species of freshwater Puffer in the hobby and always sell out almost immediately. If you're waiting to put your order in until Tuesday afternoon, these will probably be gone by then, just a heads up It's been months since they've been in stock and every store in the country is trying to buy them. Another long lost item we haven't had in ages are the Kyathit aka Orange Finned Danios. These look like Zebras at first but once you get up on them the differences are obvious. Bright orange fins (as the name would suggest and the body can consist of squiggly lines and/or circle patterns. And if you're in need of balloon fish we got in both Red Eye Tetras and Rams in that style. But if you're in the market for something big and impressive the Royal Clown knives are perfect for you. Running between 7-8" these are already sporting their spots and look amazing even from across the room.
For new Mollies, we have a platinum ballon for those balloon fish lovers out there. These are beautiful solid bright platinum white (not silver). The Red Dalmation from a few weeks ago that were the most popular molly we've ever had are back in stock. We also have a new one that I think is somehow even better than those leopards....called "tricolor" molly. Just look at the pics further down the email, absolutely jaw dropping fish for something as common and "simple" as a molly. Soccer moms and hardcore fish-nerd hobbyist-breeders alike will be clamoring for a group of these. We also have a new solid gold molly, and a "gold calico" molly (which are not very calico, but still very cool).
We put them on the "new fish list" last week, but for those that missed it we have a ton of new guppy strains in stock as well on the list this week. The Handsome Lad and the Black Lyretail have been huge hits and everyone that's tried them so far has loved them. We're also hearing nothing but praise about the hardiness and health of these new guppies (from a new supplier we've recently started using) so if you have had trouble keeping guppies alive for a week in the past, maybe try some of these new ones out.
And it wouldn't be a week here without mentioning new Cichlids. We got a couple more nice Central Americans in the form of some excellent medium sized Rainbow Cichlids in basically full color. And the imported peacocks are freshly juiced up on hormones and ready to impress! The regular size is the best value on those, just as much color as the 3 inch for a lot smaller price tag.
