Plus salt and reptile lists

They're here!!! Order your Electric Green Angels today!

They look great even in a natural setting like this planted aquarium.

Mixing the two colors together makes for an awesome display!

Hey Folks,

Hope everyone out there continues to be as busy as we are. Very surprising for this time of year but I'm not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth. Which is great considering the Electric Green Angels launch this week. Demand for these is through the roof with all of our socials absolutely blowing up with people asking us where they can get them. As we mentioned in the Friday newsletter they are running oversize at the moment so it's a good time to stock up. And unlike the last Angel launch there aren't any quantity limits so you can buy as many as you want. And for those of you who haven't seen these in action check out the video as we have posted on our socials and if you truly want to see them in person then be sure to stop by our booth at Super Zoo in two weeks. We will have both the seller size as well as some adults on full display. But since this is a launch week we are slammed with taking orders so check out the pics below of everything that came in over the weekend.

Friday email recap:
If this wasn't a launch week the title card would have been my favorite item to come in from Colombia, Peacock Bass! Haven't had these in forever. These are very seasonal and there's not much telling how long they'll be around for when they pop up on the availability lists. I've even tried ordering them from the far east where they are being tank raised but that has been to no avail. But we have them now and they look great. Around 1.5-2" these will hold up fine so long as you keep them well fed. These will eventually take to frozen and prepared food items but for right now the name of the game is is keep them fat and happy so be dure to keep a school of live feeders on them like feeder guppies.

Also in this week's Colombia shipment are some L-106 Orange Seam Plecos which we have not had since probably this time last year. These are in no way shape or form the same as theL-81 Orange Seams that come in from Brazil. These are greenish in color with a faint honeycomb-like pattern and the name deserving orange trim around the fins. In addition to these we also got in some very nice "small" Royal Plecos. A lot of the individuals in this batch are solid medium size making them a fantastic value. For other bottom dwellers both Arcuatus (Skunk) and Melanistus Cories are running huge. BB Cats got their numbers reinforced. Still have a good amount of Silver Dollars available this week. Exodons are about as big as we ever see come in. Got two types of Pikes available including Belly Crawler and a handful of Proteus. And we are down to just a few Shoehead Cats so order soon before they are gone.

It's gonna be another week with heavy emphasis on Florida raised fish. I'll try to keep it brief here as there quite a few pics down below of lots o goodies. I'll start with Old Worlds first. Picked up a new supplier this week and they did not disappoint. I'll Start with what most people will be excited about and that's the XL Eureka Red Peacocks. This is one of the all time most popular species/variants for a long time for a reason. They are not a stereotypical blue fish like so many Peacocks are. They are predominantly tangerine in color with blue accenting the middle of the body. Good examples of these are always highly sought after so these will not be here long. But if you are looking for a mostly blue fish them we got you covered plenty there. THE bluest fish on the farm right now has to be the Red Shoulder Peacock followed closely by the Maulana Bicolors. But not to be outdone the large Hap Moorii and Taiwan Reef are about as bright as I've ever seen. Large Venustus while not always displaying just blue coloration certainly belong in this conversation. And Last but definitely not least is my favorite Malawi addition, Otopharynx Tetrastigma. This is a very uncommon Haplochromine type that we have not had in years if ever. These are in at a large size and are already showing very nice color but will only get better with age. This is another species highly coveted by Cichlid aficionados and are sure to draw attention. With all that being said if you have any customers looking to fill a display tank this is the week to do it.

The medium Red Top Hongi we got in late last week are quite possibly the nicest I have seen anywhere period. These almost look like a Cobue Afra the way some of them have the dorsal color coming down onto the body. These are limited but for sure a "must buy" this week.

If I were doing a "Limited Fish" list this week the Phenochilus would be at the very top. Only got a handful of these bad boys available and they look amazing!

Ran out of the Tabasco Salvini but have a decent number of the medium standard Salvini. Great size for the money with a ton of color.

Rainbow Cichlids managed to fly under the radar last week but most are oversized with really good color already.

Pretty much every type of Cherry Barb in stock is running big and bright so I decided to go with the Albino as the feature pic for today. Really can't go wrong with any of them this week.

Got a restock of Gold White Clouds in over the weekend. We ran out early in the week last week and I expect that history will repeat itself so order early if you want some.

Delhezi Bichirs are starting to come in at a significantly larger size. Been seeing a lot of vidoes of these and other Polypterus species on social media lately so not a bad idea to stock up before you get blind sided by sudden demand.

Somehow I managed to leave Pygmy Cories off the Friday email but we do have a good number of them and they are very solid right now. Can't say it enough but if you're not expanding your nano offerings you are missing out. These are the epitome of a nano scavenger that everyone should be stocking.

Tiger Shovelnose are running just over 2" but they got fat little bellies on them. So as long as you keep them well fed with a school of feeders on them they should continue to stay fat and hold up for you.

At first glance this may look like a giant leech or something of the like but this is in fact one of the South American Lungfish we currently have in stock. These are growing like weeds here and are some of the biggest we have offered in the past few years. Still small compared to what they will grow up to be but very well started.
