    Check out our highlight VIDEO!  Click here, it will open in a second tab.
    We are probably moving towards more of this style in the future instead of just pictures, but looking for your feedback so let your sales rep know if you prefer the video or you prefer just photos and little writeups.

    News & New Items
    Hey Everyone,

    Can you believe Thanksgiving is already here?  It seems like this year flew by even faster than normal.  Somebody make it stop please. Time moved a lot slower in the 90's. 

    We are trying something new!  VIDEOS!  This is our first attempt, and I think we can streamline this a lot in the future.  Our sales manager Dave did a walk through the packing house and shows you what's looking best in video form instead of a million pictures.  This saves us a ton of time, so I hope we can make this new format into something that works out great for you as well.  Currently, my idea is to maybe do 2 or 3 videos instead of one, and have each video have a theme, like "bread and butter fish",  "cichlids", and "new cool stuff".  So that way you don't have to watch the entire video if you're only interested in certain things.  But anyway, we're open to suggestions, feedback, praise and soul-crushing criticism.  Let us know what you think.  Personally, I think videos show off many fish much better than a photo can, because you can't really get that perfect angle to reflect the scale colors in a photo sometimes.  

    Now the most important thing we need to talk about:  SHIPPING SCHEDULE.  In case you didn't see the email we send out on Tuesday, or read the subject of this email before you clicked it.....we're only open and shipping Monday and Tuesday.  No shipping Wednesday.  We're going to be slammed busy those 2 days, so there will be no way to take late add-on orders on Tuesday.  We need your order in here on Sunday if you want to pack Monday, and we need the order BEFORE WE CLOSE Monday (6pm eastern) if you want it to pack Tuesday.  This unfortunately means that if you submit a website order at 7PM eastern Monday after we've gone home, we're not going to be able to ship that order. Shipping will resume normal schedule the week after Thanksgiving. 

    There will be not be a Monday Email due to the short week and shipping schedule. Unfortunately this also means that reptiles and saltwater will also be unavailable. Normal shipping schedule will resume the following week. Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and a very busy and profitable Black Friday weekend.

    Give your rep a call if you have any questions!

    Tetras & Characins
    LF Serpae are coming in fantastic still.  Great size and even better color.  Good alternative to standard fin Serpaes since they have been in short supply.
    Diamond Tetras are decent size, one of the better bread and butter tetras right now. 
    Black Phantoms are back in stock but running smaller than they were. 
    Red Eye tetras are back in stock, been tough to keep these available all week long lately.
     
    Barbs & Other Cyprinids
    Red Panda Barbs just came in so they're a little faded but they're at the size where they'll color up as soon as they're in a tank with substrate. Haven't had these in a hot minute as the kids say.
    New batch of Platinum Green Tiger Barbs came in this week. Keep getting better with each batch which is surprising for this time of year.
    Got restocked on all male Longfin Rosy Barbs and they're just as nice as ever. Bright red color with really nice fins.
    New batch of Roseline Sharks are nice size and starting to show good color.
    Livebearers
    BB Platy are always a great seller. Name alone helps move them.
    Dawn Platy are unique with their pastel appearance.
    XL Platies restocked, very good looking mix, twice as big as the next biggest platy
    Midnight guppy have the best tails
    Large Electric Blue Carpintis came in looking great. Fantastic Florida Strain that will only get brighter with size.
    New World Cichlids
    Rainbow Cichlid are one of the best looking Central Americans when they settle in and color up
    Dimerus Acara are a florida-feral wild-caught fish with a ton of color!  Treat these basically the same as an electric blue acara of the same size, they're extremely similar in temperment and care.  
    Have a handful of 5 inch Red Devil left
    Red tiger motaguense restocked, about 1.5 inch.
    Pink Convict are way better than normal convicts
    New fish alert!  GOLD Jaguars.  Adults are absolutely stunning.  These are extremely rare, and actually only a couple generations removed from wild stock believe it or not.  
    Old World Cichlids
    Quadrimaculatus are still the best looking fish on the property.  Been here for a month now, super sturdy, and the color isn't fading at all. 
    Large sunshine peacocks still look fantastic.
    Eureka Peacocks are almost entirely male, and starting to color.
    Kenyii cichlids are looking fantastic.
    Assorted LG Mbuna are once again huge with really nice variety in the mix.
    Catfish and Loaches
    Skunk Cory, fresh batch from Colombia
    Wild LG Bushynose are running very nice size
    XL green phantom are absolutely gigantic. Fins are a little rough but will heal up quickly.
    Striped Raphael cats have a few of these longnose Raphaels in the mix.  Buy striped raphaels and you might get lucky.  
    Farlowella came in smaller than the last batch but are holding up well.
    Hoplo cats are extremely limited.  I think we have a dozen we pulled out of a pond here as by-catch.  Super awesome bottom feeder though, they're like a giant cory cat that doesn't bother other fish at all.  Even safe with Neon tetras. 
    Tiger shovelnose are about 3 inches
    Zebra loach are one of the best looking loaches available and are great for controlling nuisance snails.
    Other Fish & Stuff
    Dwarf Neon Rainbow got even bigger, some of the largest we've ever seen here.
    Bosemani rainbow are coming in super nice again.
    Leopard Ctenopoma came in bigger than the last batch. Neat, hardy oddball.
    Florida raised red paradise gouramis should hold up much better than the imported ones from a few weeks ago.
