Hey Folks,
We had to update our stock list a day earlier than normal due to being closed for the 4th on Friday, and as a result, we have quite a lengthy "new fish" list for you this week to check out. There's some restocks we haven't had in a long time like the super popular Rhino Gobies to some completely brand new Florida bred cichlids!
Starting with the imports, Colombia came in last week but was too late for us to get pictures of anything that came in or mention it in the email. Arowanas, Spotted Raphael Catfish, Silver hatchets, all the plecos, and much more all got restocked. The one downside though is they did short us on otocinculus again, so we're already sold out on Monday, sorry about that one. Silver Hatchets though are a welcome return. Thats one of those staple fish you get so used to seeing in stock every week for month and month after month, being sold out for a while now has really stood out. We got thousands, so should be good all week on those without a problem.
New clown loach size came in too! They're basically already completely sold out, but we wanted to put a picture in the email just so you can see them at least. We will definitely be trying to restock these, they look great.
We also didn't notice on Thursday but we got two new fancy snails in stock this week! Both White Wizards and White Hercules showed up towards the end of last week and both are excellent. White wizards sort of look like a crisp white version of Mystery Snail with a shinier shell and they're much larger than your average Mystery. Hercules snails are closer to a Rabbit Snail, with a long twisty cone type shell over 2 inches in length on average. These are some big, big freshwater snails, and sure to impress and sell themselves. Both are Plant-safe as well.
From local, we have several new peacocks for you! True German Reds from European lines locally bred here in Florida. Absolutely beautiful. I went over to the breeders house personally to pick these up, and the adults were absolutely stunning. I've got a picture of the father of these down below for you to see. Even the adult females had some color in them (not much.....but a little bit of yellow in the fins, looked better than solid silver). These have been cared for and raised as if they were pets, basically, and they're definitely 100% illness-free and healthy well-started fish. I think these are a great opportunity for someone that wants to grab a dozen of something to start their own breeding group.
We also have a new "select mix peacock" that's only 4.99 each. These are much bigger than a regular size but too small to be a medium. Select means they're somewhere in the middle, like a SM/MED on most other stock lists. For the price you can't go wrong. There are more females than males, and the males are a mix of a couple different strains. I think there's a couple that are technically haps in there too, I think I saw a couple Taiwan Reefs starting to color up. But regardless, great value for a budget-friendly African.
Reach out to your rep if you have any questions.

| New "Select size FL bred peacocks" are a FANTASTIC deal! We picked up a bunch for a rock bottom price from a guy that just wanted to clear out some space and now we're passing the savings on to you. For the price of barely more than a mixed regular size imported peacock, you can get a these 2.5-3.5 inch fish. These are mixed sex, and a great way to get some almost breeding-sized females for any of your customers looking for female peacocks to breed. The mix is female heavy, so if you want to request females, feel free to let your rep know and we can definitely accommodate that! |

| New clown loach size! We got these in as "4-5 inch", and they're definitely much larger than the clown loaches we normally get, but if I put a ruler on them I'd guess the average size is probably just UNDER 4 inches. Regardless, the price is great for the fish, IMO. When they're bigger like this they're MUCH hardier fish and should hold up infinitely better than the 2 inch size clown loaches and be able to hold their own in a cichlid tank. |

 |
| White Wizard Snails are back! Got overlooked Thursday, but they're on the New Fish list today and ready for sale. |
|
 |
| Here's the FATHER of the German Red Peacocks we have for sale, pictured at the top. This is NOT for sale, just showing what they will turn into. |
|
 |
| Kuli Loaches are back in stock, but very limited. We have plenty of the solid black ones though (which are also MUCH larger). |
|
 |
| African Leaffish are back in stock (Ctenapoma on the stock list in the MISC section). While these do get pretty decent size and are ambush predators, the only thing that you really need to watch them around right now would be guppies or neons. They should make great tank mates for anything larger than that. |
|
 |
| Rhino gobies are back! These adorable little oddballs are perfect fish for a store that wants something interesting that you can sell for, like, a Gourami price point. They probably would appreciate a little salt in their water, so tankmates like platies and mollies or guppies would be perfect for these little guys. |
|
 |
| Silver Arowana came back from Colombia last week. These are well past egg yolk stage and are eating feeder guppies like crazy. |
|
 |
| Silver hatchetfish got restocked for the first time in over a month! These are super popular since they're one of the few fish that always hangs out right at the surface to use all your available tank space. You can easily keep them in the same tank with another mid-level species and they won't get in each other's way. |
|
 |
| Uaru Cichlids came in last week a little bit smaller than they have the last couple times, but honestly for the price point I can't complain. I think they're a great value, even at 1.5". |
|
 |
| Albino "Swallowtail" peacocks are a type of albino jake showing bright albino coloration. These should get nice long fins with age like their namesake indicates |
|
 |
| Chocolate cichlids may not look like much now, but they get absolutely beautiful as adults and should be just as popular as Jacks and GreenTerrors. |
|
 |
| .4 Inch Cuban Cihclids are the best looking Central cichlid here. Some showing this super cool orange iridescence on their sides to look even cooler than normal. |
|
 |
| Regular Green Terrors are back in stock, always popular |

Absolutely Massive reptile restock for the Holiday week! There's so much cool new stuff, i'm just going to list it all here:
Tiger Salamanders
Cuban Treefrogs
Camel Spiders
Thai Black Tiger Tarantulas
Crested Sailfin Anoles
Red Eye Croc Skinks
Schneider Skinks
Green Amevias
Tokay Geckos
Yellow Stripe Basilisks
Cuban Knight Anoles
CBB Blue Tongue Skinks
So as you can see, it's a LOT and its almost entire "cool" stuff that reptile specialty stores love to carry. Most of these are fairly inexpensive too....the Ameivas, Knight Anoles, Crested Anoles, and Basilisks are all invasive to South Florida and locally collected, keeping the price way down on these super cool animals. I'd recommend stocking up now, because as you can see from how our reptile list normally looks....these things are very rarely available nowadays.
