Hey folks,
Big news!! We just expanded the plant offerings again, in a big way! I think we added 30-something new plants to the list, and it's all cool and interesting species that you probably have been getting asked for. We just went from 2 types of moss to I think 8 now. We also added some larger sizes of some very popular plants for those of you that like to carry the best looking product possible. We are also offering 5% off on all plants for all customers moving forward!! So you will see that discount on your invoice if you try some plants from us. We hear almost nothing but good things about the plants, and really think more of you should be taking advantage of getting plants shipped alongside your fish orders with us. Especially if you ship via UPS, having plants in the shipment GREATLY aids your landed cost.on all your livestock. I just had a store this week order 100 neon tetras, 50 otocinculus, and 4 or 5 12-lots of other fish, alongside about $500 worth of plants, and all of it fit into a single box. Plants pack extremely efficiently. New plants have their SKU numbers highlighted on the stocklist this week to make it easier for you to see what's new on there.
In addition to the plant expansion we had one of the best weeks of incoming in quite some time. So many species that we have been trying to get in for months if not longer have finally started to get filled so with that being said let's start with Asia. New fish alert!!! Well, maybe. We certainly haven't had Avocado Puffers in years and no one here seems to remember ever having gotten them before so we're calling them new for all intensive purposes. True freshwater species from Southeast Asia these active little guys tend to be slightly less nippy than some of the more commonly available Puffers and will readily burrow sin sandy substrate given the opportunity. So if you're displaying them keep them with little to no substrate otherwise they can suddenly disappear on you lol. Next up is not exactly new but practically is since we've only had them one time, Bloody Mary Borneo Suckers. Got in a small batch of these about a month ago and they were barely here for a day before they were sold out. Manage to get a few more this time around but I can guarantee it still won't meet the demand. If you're not familiar with these there is a pic down below and I also recommend checking them out on some of the social media platforms cuz people are posting about these like crazy. There are several new species and subspecies being offered now but this is one of the more affordable varieties. Some them are going for crazy dollars online.
In addition to new items from Asia we got some restocks of some new favorites. Red Lizard Cats are back and look just as great as the last couple of batches. This is one that we have been trying to order for the past two years and are only recently getting them filled. And rounding out the list of newer items are the Clown/Rocket Killies. Now these aren't new by any stretch of the imagination but they have been fairly infrequent in their availability over the past year or so and this is only the second or third batch we've managed to get our hands on. As usual they are very small but also as usual these will be gone very quickly.
Weeks like this make very difficult to figure out what to put where in the email when there's so much exciting stuff to talk about. Colombia is finally starting to get back into the swing of things with availability improving each week. We'll start with the most limited item, South American Marble Gar. These. Are. HUGE. So much so that we had to cut the full pack down to quarter of the size it normally is. I know I say this often but these are without a doubt THE biggest I have ever seen on this species before. And like most batches they do have banged up snoots but that's to be expected with these. Doesn't ever seem to affect their appetite and heals up quick. Next up and only slightly less limited are the Chameleon Whiptails. Just about everything I just said about the Gar goes for these (except the part about their snoots, these are all fine). Huge. Beautiful. Impressive. That pretty much sums them up. And while those are tough to beat we did get in some very nice Royal Farlowellas as well. Size isn't huge but very clean looking overall. And since I'm running out of space and time I'll do a rapid fire on the rest of the Colombia highlights. Got in Marble Hatchets, Red Phantom Tetras, Ruby Tetras, Banjo Cats and Striped Pikes.
Gonna dive right in to Florida raised fish with the one everyone here is most excited about, Red Head Tapajos. Now you might be thinking to yourself "he just featured these last week". And that is true, but those were the small Asia imports. For the first time in nearly a year we have both 4" and 5" on hand. This is THE Geo that everyone is always looking for. Both are showing great color. My recommendation to anyone with a showroom is to put a couple of these on display and then buy up as many of the smalls as you can. You can make more money flipping the little ones at a greater margin than a one time sale of an adult. On the opposite end of the size spectrum we got in some Lemon Blue Eye Bushynose over the weekend. Running around 1"-1.25". These are another one that sell great on name alone. But if it's immediate splash and color you're looking for then check out this week's Neon Dwarf Rainbows cuz they offer both. Good size and absolutely radiant. And last but not least, we got in another batch of all male Azureus. Color on these is insane!

 |
| Electric Green and Starfire Red Angels look amazing together. Come check them out next week in person at Super Zoo where we will have both on display. |
|
 |
| Starfire Red Gourami |
|
 |
| Moonrise Pink Cory |
|
 |
| New Marbled Gar might be the biggest I have ever seen. Pic does not do them justice. They are huge and beyond awesome. Snoots are a little banged up but that's pretty typical for these but they heal up quickly. |
|
 |
| This is what a Chameleon Whiptail looks like most of the time... |
|
 |
| ...but at other times they can look like this. Now you can see why their named "Chameleons". Also, this is the biggest batch of these I've ever seen come through here. Absolute monsters |
|
 |
| Royal Farlowellas are available in pretty limited numbers but what we have look great. A lot of them even have their tail extensions intact. |
|
 |
| Regular Farlowellas are a little mixy in size this week but this is one of the smaller ones in the group so overall they're pretty nice. |
|
 |
| Marble Hatchets are in for what might be the first time of 2026. Been so long I can't be sure but regardless they're here and they'll be gone very quickly. |
|
 |
| While these might not technically be considered a "nano" fish I have seen plenty of hobbyists keep Red Phantom Tetras like they are. Considerably smaller than most of their relatives these do well in smaller aquariums thus highly desirable in the current market place. |
|
 |
| What I just said for about the Red Phantoms goes for the Ruby Tetras as well. Only exception is that these ARE considered a nano species. |
|
 |
| Banjo Cats are running very nice size this time around. Not quite as big as the ones we get out of Peru but these are about a tenth of the price. |
|
 |
| Butterfly Plecos are running a bit smaller than the last couple of batches but still showing their high contrast pattern. |
|
 |
| This week's Striped Pike came in as Crenicichla sp. Venezuela 1. This actually looks to be correct. They'll need to settle in a bit to be sure but they have all the characteristics of that variant so far. |
|
 |
| If the avocado Puffers aren't new to here then they have been gone for so long that no one here remembers having them nor did we have a number for them lol. Either way this is a great true freshwater species that is an active swimmer and is far less common than some of the other species frequently offered. |
|
 |
| If your on Tik Tok, Instagram or other social media platforms then you've seen the influx of new species/variants of Hillstream Loaches and their relatives. Got some Bloody Mary Borneo Suckers about a month ago and they were gone so quickly we didn't even have a chance to put them in the email. I expect the same will be true this batch. |
|
 |
| Red Lizard Cats are back. No need to go on and on about these since every time we've gotten them in they've sold out immediately so everyone must know them by name. |
|
 |
| Mono Sebaes got a restock this week. These tend to acclimate and gold up better than their Argentus cousins. While these are brackish we don't put a ton of salt on them and they do very well in just plain hard water. But keep in mind our source water is basically liquid concrete so adjust your conditions accordingly. |
|
 |
| Since Bloodfin Tetras have been hit or miss for availability this summer the Green Fires (pictured) make for a pretty good substitute. |
|
 |
| Clown aka Rocket Killies are back this week. Even though by nature these guys are pretty tiny basically anything with :"Killi" in the name sells like hotcakes. Doesn't hurt that these have a very distinct pattern that is very noticeable even at such a small size. |
|
 |
| And speaking of Killies the newest batch of Garderi are about as bright as they get, and they're not even full grown yet! |
|
 |
| Asian Rummynose Rasboras came in about as big as they ever do which means as soon as they're placed over substrate they're gonna color up. |
|
 |
| Tank Raised Uaru are in from Indo this week. Aorund1.5" and cute as hell. And FYI the white spots are normal at this size. They will disappear once they get over 2" and start developing their adult coloration. |
|
 |
| Albino Hoplo Cats are probably the coolest looking albino variant you can get. And I don't just mean fora scavenger but for any fish, period. They maintain that pattern through adulthood so when fully grown they are absolutely spectacular looking. |
|
 |
| Ornate Bichirs are WAY bigger than they have been almost all year. These are about 30% bigger than the Delhezi we currently have making these the better value for a change. |
|
 |
| This is what I'm most excited about personally on this entire stock list.... GIGANTIC "creamsicle dalmation" Mollies! These are locally bred in pure freshwater, and are Sphenop Species not the normal Sailfin species, so they will be bulletproof health-wise in your store. Trust me when I saw you need these mollies. At least try 6 and so you can realize how nice they are and then wish you'd bought 50 when you see them in person. |
|
 |
| Neons are probably the best overall Swords this week. |
|
 |
| Velevt Swords are not very "velvety" but still very bright and colorful. |
|
 |
| Gold Pearls continue to be one of the best looking of all the Gouramis (not including the Starfire Reds lol). Size is fantastic |
|
 |
| Thicklip Sunset Gourami might be the biggest I have ever seen anywhere period. Pro tip: take "Thicklip" out of the name. They sell better as just Sunset Gourami. |
|
 |
| Neon Dwarf Rainbows are almost as big as some of the standard Rainbows this week. |
|
 |
| Turquoise are currently unavailable but Kamakas make an excellent substitute. |
|
 |
| Yes, we actually DO have Red Head Tapajos this big in stock. This is a 5" we also have 4" available. Both have fantastic color. Don't miss out on the best selling Geo in the hobby that you don't have to raise up to size. |
|
 |
| The most popular of the Geophagus species is back! Red Head Tapajos! They're SMALL, so please be aware of that when ordering. Less than 1.5 inches and not showing color yet, but this is the only size available to us at the moment. |
|
 |
| All the other sizes of Dovii have flown out of here but still have some 2" available this week that are quickly trying to become 3". Already growing out of their juvenile stripey phase and developing some peppering to them. |
|
 |
| Chocolate Cichlids at 3 inch are looking great, to add to the list of excellent Central/South American cichlids available at the moment. |
|
 |
| The best looking (arguably) of all New World cichlids..... the apropriately named Rainbow Cichlids are fantastic. We have 2 sizes, regular and large, this is the large (regulars don't show color yet). |
|
 |
| Medium Fenestratus just showed up today and didn't quite make the Stock list in time. But we have a good number of these if you've been waiting on them! I think it's been a year or longer since we had Fenestratus on the list. |
|
 |
| The current batch medium Red Top Hongi are without a doubt the best I have ever seen. This fish does not get any better than this. |
|
 |
| Got in another batch of large Azureus in this week. And yeah, still one of the best looking fish here on the farm. |
|
 |
| Regular Albino Taiwan Reefs are a solid medium size this week, and we put them on special as well. Now's your time to get these. |
|
 |
| Have some Hap Moorii in both large and XL sizes this week. If stock the regular size on these it pays to have a couple of bigger ones on hand so people can see how awesome they are as adults. |
|
 |
| 2-2.5 Blue Diamond. Not many of these to go around so we didn't put them on the list. if you've been wanting solid blue discus ask your rep and we can add them to your order. Consider this a bonus for those of you that actually read this email that we spend 10 hours working on every week haha. |
|
 |
| 2-2.5" Assorted |
|
 |
| 2-2.5" Assorted |
|
 |
| While Thai Micro Crabs definitely deserve their name (micro) like most nano species they are in super high demand. |
|
 |
| I've said it before and I'll say it again, Bamboo Shrimp look like they came out of somebody's nightmare. Which ic ironic considering these are very peaceful filter feeders lol. |
|
 |
| Black Crystal Shrimp |
|
 |
| Orange Pumpkin Shrimp |
