Hey Folks,
I'm sorry to say, but the Gold Nugget plecos we left off the stock list on Friday are not going to be good to sell this week. They came in with some losses and we thought for sure they'd be cleared up and good to go by Monday, but they're still under medication at the moment so we are not going to pass them on to risk you losing them. it's better and fairer to just hold off until probably next week (possibly wednesday or thursday pack this week, but more than likely next week). So sorry about hyping those up in the email Friday. The L014 Goldie "sunshine" plecos and the other non-gold-nugget species we got from that shipment are PERFECT and being shipped.
For new stuff this week, two main things: First, the EB Jacks you see up top. It's been so long since we had EB Jacks I was honestly starting to think that maybe the source we get them from lost all their adult breeders or something, but they're back! Not a TON available so they'll probably sell out pretty quick, but hopefully they'll be back in normal rotation and getting restocked every week now going forward.
The other new fish are the huge Bala sharks posted below. These are absolutely monstrous full grown balas, and they're going to need a big tank. These are active fish that don't like to sit still, so i'd call a 125 gallon tank the minimum for these when they're this size. But I know you probably have plenty of customers that DO have tanks that size or larger that are always looking for big fish, so this is your lucky week.
Don't forget, we also do have probably more variety of large Central/South American Cichlids available right now than I think I've seen all at the same time in quite a while. Dovii, Heckellii, Brasiliensis, Red Devils, EB Carpintis, Cubans, and I think that's not even everything. Make sure to check that section of the list if you're looking for big fish this week!
Reach out to your rep if you have any questions.

| Jumbo Bala Sharks are truly jumbo. normal sized pen for comparison.....these are probably 10-12 inches long and bigger around than my scrawny office-job biceps. Personally I've never been a big fan of Balas because of how large they get, but I'll admit they do at least look very impressive when they're this size. They're powerful swimmers, and powerful jumpers. Lids are a must! |
|
 |
| Large Black Angelfish are fantastic and super impressive. Definitely the best angel on the list this week by far. Medium veils are still a solid 2nd place best angel, but not running as oversized as they were a few weeks ago. |
|
 |
| 5" Heckelii are the biggest size of Heckelli we commonly get, and at this size the males all have their signature long streamers on the fins, and the glittery scales on their sides. We have 3 and 4 inch as well, but the 5 inch definitely gets you the most impressive looking fish. |
|
 |
| Fl bred rainbow severums are starting to color up! This strain looks absolutely great when they mature, with tons of red in the body and face. |
|
 |
| Wild Oscars look way cooler than tank raised oscars. They're also cheaper. It confuses me very much why we don't sell out of these first before "assorted small oscar" on the list. This is very likely Astronautus Mikolgi for the species. They look extremely similar to the "bumblebee oscars" that everyone's trying to track down while they're young. |
|
 |
| Lemon Oscars are restocked and look great. It's a mix of both tiger and solid color lemons, and some have darker fins that look super cool outlining the bright yellow body in black. The one pictured is a good "average" fish of what to expect though. |
|
 |
| These are the Phenochilus Star Sapphires we have on special this week. I think they may be very close to sold out at the special price, because we didn't have a ton of them, but this is what they look like, Mixed sex, but males showing good color for such a small size (2.5, maybe 3 inches max). |
|
 |
| Regular Hongis are new for this week. We've got a good number and color is excellent even at the "regular" size (about 2 inches). One of the most popular mbuna species. |
|
 |
| Kribensis are much bigger than they used to come in back in the day. These are almost 2 inches, pretty nice size! |
|
 |
| Still have 4 of these excellent Adonis plecos left from the Peru shipment left. Grab them before they're gone, it's going to be a while before they're back! |
|
 |
| Pearl Danios are absolutely huge this week! Best danio by far! |
|
 |
| Choprai (Glowlight) danio are excellent for planted tanks or anyone catering to nano tanks. |
|
 |
| Have 5 Flagtail Prochilodus left that have been here for about a month now. Holding up great! Perfect fish for a larger display tank. |
