Hey Folks,
Terrific weekend for incoming, especially if you're into Central & South American Cichlids. Got restocks on some much needed staples as well as couple we have not had available in quite some time. So with that being said we'll start with the title card, Snooks. This is the Green variant which in my humble opinion sells much better over the red. The latter typically gets mistaken as an odd looking Red Devil. And Speaking of Red Devils we got in handful of 5". Not only are these a must have everyone should always be stocking but they have the perfect name given that spooky season is here. And since we're talking about hyper aggressive tank busters we got in two sizes of Managuense aka Jaguar Cichlids in. XL Orange Shoulder Severums have fantastic color but are very limited. 4" Chocolates look great and are well worth the extra dough. Salvinis are also in at 4" with fantastic color. Regular Electric Blue Ahlis are huge, more like mediums with some showing a bit of color. And both sizes of Balzani have a ton of gold to them already.
In case you missed it here are some of the highlights from Friday's Newsletter:
Yet another great week of incoming but before we jump into what's new, if you missed last week's email we got in a bunch of new shrimp from Taiwan. Most are still available and made it onto this week's price list. We took more pics so if you didn't see them before now's your chance to check them out down below. For this week we're gonna dive right into South America with another solid shipment from Colombia. Right out the gate one of the best looking to come in are the medium Silver Arowanas. Look to be in great shape with a bit more size to them this time around. Sticking with silver but with a touch of color are the Pinktail Chalceus. Great schooler for larger tanks with semi aggressive inhabitants. Cories got some nice restocks including Pygmy, Concolor, Metae and good sized Gold/Greens. And rounding out the shipment are some what look to be very solid so far Marble Hatchets.
As usual got in some great additions from Asia. We'll start with some brackish baddies. BB Gobies look to be both vibrant and plentiful. New Archers are good size with very clean markings. Always a crowd pleaser given their natural hunting techniques. And Figure Eight Puffers are about as green as they get. Tank raised Uaru are about as big as the last batch close to 2" on average. Blue Rams are coming in as far east imports and are very nice but these are more like wild types than German. Big with very nice color. Red Frontosas are back, one of the most affordable variants in the hobby. Gold Wonder Killies are some of the brightest we've seen quite some time. Everyone's favorite Balloon fish, Penguin Tetras, are back in stock this week. Needle Nose Gar are in for the first time in who knows how long. Very limited but great size. Burmese Sun Cats are the size of Bullheads. New Adolfoi Cories not only have bright orange caps but super thick black stripes going down the dorsal side making for super contrast. And last but not least got in a really nice restock of 2-2.5" Singapore Discus.
Can never go a week without some great Florida raised goodies. Just about every Angel available this week looks fantastic but the two standouts are the select Koi and the Large Veils. Color on the Koi is outstanding and large veils are huge. As is typical for this time of year really can't go wrong with any of the locally raised Rainbows but this week's standout are the Kamakas. Will never understand why these aren't more popular. Body color is just as nice as the Turquoise but once settled males display a silver blaze down the dorsal side. Black Ruby Barbs are about as mixy as you can get when it comes to size but there are some bigger males in the group showing adult color. Be sure to put them over a dark substrate to really make the "ruby" come out. Most of the Cherry Barbs available this week are homegrown and both size and color is fantastic. And last but not least new Buffalo Heads have some nice to them. Some of the males are even starting to show a bit of a hump on the head.
