Hey Folks,
Aqua Shella was better than I expected. Caught up with a lot of old friends and avoided getting stuck talking to any influencers. I think every vendor I spoke with had a good show, so that's encouraging. The Spectrum folks put together a really nice display tank full of red pristellas. First time they've been on display (in the US) at anything other than an industry show. They have been a huge hit, and I'm very excited about their launch early next year.
This weekend's shipments are mostly re-stock. I did get in some new black ranchus and gold dojo loaches. I do have a few new shrimp, some medakas, and a few other odds and ends coming tomorrow so if you're ordering late in the week ask your rep about new stuff.
Tiger botias are getting very used to my tanks, and apparently they think they're doctor fish. All the botias are very personable and outgoing, but I don't see too botias that are this bold. They're not as gentle as the doctor fish so I don't recommend these for pedicures.
Some other fish that stood out in today's walkthrough include chili rasboras, zig-zag eels, huge blue mickey mouse platies, gold neon tetras, blue dolphin moori, and 4" and 5" heckeli threadfin eartheaters.
Please give a call if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Joe Hiduke Sales Manager Nautilus |
