    XL Bleekeri are available for the first time in over a year, and probably the last time you'll ever see them again, sadly.  There was only main source breeding these and offering large Bleekeri to the wholesalers of the hobby.  We picked up TWO nice adults like the one pictured from a local farmer that found them in a random vat this week and brought them to us.  So only 2 are available, and they're probably going to go really quick.

    Hey Everyone,

    Check out the caption on the Bleekeri up top, I'm very excited that we were able to get a couple of these awesome fish to pass along to you.  Like I said, they may never be available at this size again....the only farm breeding these effectively sold off his entire stock of every size, so there's now zero farms producing them on a decent level and raising them up before sale.  You can find babies for sale, but the days of buying 5 inch plus Bleekeri are in the past now.  These fish need a POND to breed in, they won't breed in a tank, they're too aggressive, so this is probably the last chance we'll get to put them in an email unfortunately.  

    If you miss out on those (there's only 2) we got some other nice big fish for you as well this week.  5 inch Dovii, Brasiliensis Geophagus, and Red Devils are all in stock, along with a new batch of the large-sized Jack Dempseys.   We also got a good size restock of FL Peacocks, with a little bit of a twist.  This time we got a new size from a new breeder, and they're going to be a really great price!  Check Monday email for the exact price, but should be well under $10 each for the "select size mixed sex peacocks".  These are 3 inch average fish that are starting to show color on the males, and have females in the mix.  We also got some nicer colored up 4 inch males that we added to the mixed Florida Medium Male sku. 

    Far-East brought some nice new fish this week as well, with some perfect sized Clouded Archers.  It's been a few months since these were in stock and they usually go pretty quick.  They do great in small groups, and are true pure fresh water fish unlike the more common archers you can normally find for around 10 bucks.  

    Specials list is a lot longer this week than normal so make sure to check it out!  In addition to the EDLP specials, which are continuing still, we have almost twice as many other specials for you than our weekly average.  

    Reach out to your rep if you have any questions.

    Clouded (Golden) Archers are back!  These are the true freshwater species that are much more desirably than the standard archer fish that are a little more common and a lot cheaper.  You get what you pay for, and these Clouded archers are worth the money for sure. 
    Figure 8 Puffers are still running quite small
    Electric Blue Rams are back!  These little buggers have been scratched off our last 2 or 3 import orders, so great to see them finally back in tanks and on the list again. 
    Rocket Gar came in absolutely massive, biggest we've ever gotten before, I think.  They're big enough to eat Rosy Red minnows and not just guppies.
    4-5" Zig Zag Eel and normal size zig zags are both restocked.  Been a couple weeks without any eels here, so welcome back.
    Glass Catfish are always super popular and we got a good number in this week.  They do best in good size schools, so you're not doing your customers any favors by ordering 3 or 6.  You should really not be selling less than 6 at a time to any one customer, they often refuse to eat they'll get so stressed without several buddies nearby,

    Red Glass Barbs might be the best looking batch in months.  The males are all very nice and bright, and there are a lot less than 50% females, so great time to buy! 
    Cherry Barbs continue to be nice big FL bred fish
    Redtail Sharks are back!  I think hopefully for the foreseeable future.  The local farmer is back in stock with them, and we don't expect more disruptions.
    Gold Gourami are restocked and got pretty big in their 2 week hiatus from the list.  Definitely the best gourami out of the blues, golds, opalines.
    Tetras
    Male Congo Tetras are absolute stunners right now.  And they're cheaper than the mixed sex ones for some reason.  Buy them before our admin staff figures out they messed up on the price.  
    Blue Tetras got absolutely huge this week.  These are the tank raised ones, not the Peruvians.  Basically full grown and showing a ton of nice blue/purple color.
    Diamond Tetras are also running way oversized.  If you don't normally carry Diamonds, you definitely should, and now is a great time to stock up. 
    Glow Light Tetras.  Running maybe a little above average size.  
    XRay Tetras are basically see-through Pristella tetras.  Normal Pristellas haven't been available ever since the GloFish® Pristellas came out, so this is as close as it gets if you want "normal" Pristellas nowadays. 
    Livebearers
    Red Dragon Dumbo Guppy
    Red Endler Males
    Hawaii Variatus aren't quite "correct" for what a standard Hawaiian variatus is "supposed" to look like, but they're still very good looking fish that should have no trouble selling.  Variatus in general tend to hold up a lot better than Platies for some reason, even though they look basically the same
    Sunset Wag are definitely the largest platy on the list this week (other than the XL of course)
    Speaking of XL Platies, they look awesome and have a perfect mix of types.  Not running heavy on anything in particular so its impossible to not get a good mix. 
    Marigold Wag swordtails are the best pick for a swordtail this week.  Nice size, and bright golden color. 
    Rainbows
    Large all-male Rainbowfish are back!  Here's what the Reds in the mix look like.
    Here's a big Emerald in the large all-male mix
    And here's a beautiful Parkinsoni in the mix.
    Dynamite Discus
    Assorted 2.5-3 inch discus have some nice fish like this golden-colored Pigeonblood.
    Assorted 2.5 inch discus, this one I believe is a Snakeskin of some sort. They look really neat as adults, not so much as a baby, 
    Pigeonblood discus have a lot of variation in the mix.  Here's a mostly red one, and the fish below is also a Pigeonblood out of the  same batch
    This is what we have as a "cobalt" Discus right now.  NOT solid blue fish.  
    Central/South American Cichlids
    Large sized Jacks are back!  About 4 inches.  Showing good color already and should be easy to sell from name recognition alone.  It seems like 90% of your customers probably have only ever heard of Jacks, Firemouths, Convicts, Red Devils, and Green Terros.  
    The large Brasiliensis Geophagus are absolutely stunning and I think we have more than a dozen available.
    Rainbow Severums are back in stock!  Florida Bred and will be absolutely beautiful when they grow up just a little bit more. 
    5 inch Red Devils are full of these awesome Piebalds.  
    5" Dovii are still hanging around.  I'm shocked these didn't sell weeks ago, everyone's always asking for big CA Cichlids.  
    Old World Cichlids
    Albino Comps are restocked and just as bright as ever.
    Medium Livingstoni are available individually and are also included in the Mixed Medium Haps for a great price. 
    We got a new smaller size of FL bred Peacocks.  MIXED SEX.  I think we're going to call these "select" size and will have a SKU number and price on Monday.  They're going to be very cheap though.  Note: this is the biggest and most colorful fish in the batch pictured here.  There's a lot of females, and there's a lot of males that are just barely starting to color up.  Most are between 2 and 3 inches.
    Mixed Medium Male Peacocks got a little bit of fresh blood infused this week, and they're showing good natural color.  
    Still have a handful of these fantastic Chewere Elongatus left.  One of the best looking Mbuna species in the world, and available at the perfect size.
    Plecos & Pals
    XL green phantom pleco are on special this week.  Been here for a while now, holding up great.
    Medium Lemon Blue Eye Bushynose are insanely bright 
    Small Lemon Blue Eyes are also available for those that want to save a few bucks
    Melanistus Cory are new this week and came in great size
    Mystery Driftwood catfish are on special this week!  They look super cool.  Not exactly sure what species they are, so don't ask. 
    Inverts
    Red Crystal Shrimp are one of the many, many new shrimp this week.  I think we got more shrimp at one time right now than I can ever remember us having, so it's a great time to stock a shrimp tank.
    Bloody Mary
    Orange Rili (probably the worst looking of everything on the list)
    Orange Pumpkin 
    Bamboo
    Limited
    Gulper Cat-1 available
    Large Brichardi-1 available
    True Parrot-1 available
    Jumbo Tiger Barb-5 available

    Thai Micro Crab-8 to 10 available
