Plus salt and reptile lists

The Electric Green Angels were a huge hit at Super Zoo this past week. This guy here really showing how well they fluoresce under actinic lighting.

Our booth at Super Zoo before the crowds came marching in.

The Eretmodus sp. Congo Goby Cichlids were lit up the entire week.

I get asked all the time what my favorite fish is and if I had to pick just one it would be this guy right here, Enantiopus Kilesa.

Electric Green and Starfire Red Angels.

Hey Folks,

It was great seeing everyone that was able to make it out to Super Zoo last week. It's always nice to put a face to a name. But for those of you who couldn't make it out we've included some pics of our booth. And I will say it was the coolest I think it has ever been in Vegas for this show. It was 77 the night before we left so people were actually able to sit pool side without frying like an egg lol. But at the end of the day the real star of the week was the Electric Green Angel. People were blown away by these and the number one comment I got was how great they look in person, especially when mixed with the Starfire Reds .

Got a few new additions over the weekend. Most notable are the Lemon Oscars. These were on hiatus for the longest time but have been coming in fairly regularly the past few weeks. Not sure how long that'll last don't sleep on these. Tricolor Gold Barbs also got a restock, size is average but color and patterning is fantastic. And speaking of fantastic color, we ended up not having as much tank space as we had originally thought so some of the fish we hand picked for the show got left behind including some incredible large male Peacocks. And the latest batch of Archers while a bit mixy in size look great overall.

We mentioned these in the Friday email but finally got to get a decent pic of the Sunspot Brevis. These are one of the most popular "Shellies" for a reason. They are very hardy, both males and females are very attractive as adults and they are relatively easy to breed. hobbyists are always on the lookout for these .

This is an archive pic of adult Brevis. We do NOT have these at this size, this is only for reference as to what they look like full grown.

We wound up running out of room at our booth at Super Zoo so we weren't able to bring everything we had set aside including some gorgeous large Peacocks including this male Ngara.

Found this Hypo Tangerine Peacock in that same large Assorted mix.

Thayeri Acara are the biggest to come through here yet. This is a very uncommon Aequidens species that'll have Cichlid aficionados busting down your door to grab some.

Got a handful of very nice 2.5-3" Singapore Discus available this week. This batch contains all the usual suspects including this gorgeous Snakeskin.

Found this beautiful Red Pigeon Blood in the Singapore mix this morning.

Tricolor Gold Barbs are back in stock. One of the coolest "piebald" type morphs of any fish.

Red Panda Guppies are always one of the best looking varieties here and this week's back is no exception.

New Rocket Gar came in small but that will only last for about a week as these are one of the fastest growing fish in the hobby. I swear these things double in size just by looking at them.

Orange Seam Plecos came in late last week but didn't have time to get a pic in time for the email. They're running small but are relatively inexpensive and are already showing very nice color.

Usually we just have the XL Royals available but this week we have a few, and I do mean a few, in a large size. This is the most "spotted" of the group but they are all very nice.
