Giant Danios are back! We haven't had these in many many months (maybe not all year?) and they've always been a staple of the hobby. Their large size, active swimming, and relatively cheap price makes them perfect dither fish, even for cichlid tanks. Size is good on what's getting sold this week even though it's the first time they're back.

Hey Folks,

We forgot to mention on Friday that Giant Danios are back! i think most of ya'll have stopped asking your sales reps about them because it's been so long since they've been in stock you got used to not seeing them, but we do have them again now! These have historically been one of the most popular dither fish in the hobby, and if you're a newer store that opened this year and haven't carried them yet, you'll want to grab a tank of them for sure. They make great tankmates even with aggressive cichlids, they're so fast and active they rarely get hurt by them, and if one or two end up getting eaten here or there, they're cheap enough it doesn't really upset anybody.

Guppies got restocked over the weekend like normal, so we should be good as of today on every guppy type on the stock list. Also speaking of livebearers, in case you missed the Friday email, we are back in stock with Large Sailfin Mollies, and the mix is probably 60-75% male.

Lots of Florida raised bread and butter tetras and barbs are running oversized at the moment, so check out the pictures in this email as well as Friday's for those. A quick rundown by memory of what's oversized is Bloodfin, Diamond, Buenos Aires, White Skirt LF, Black Skirt, Glow Light, and Black Phantom Tetras. For barbs, the Black Ruby, Red Glass, Neon Rosy Gold, and Cherry are all running super nice as well.

Reach out to your rep if you have any questions.

Red Turq Discus 1.5" are the last discus in stock until we get some more in later this week, but even at a small size they're showing great color!

Red Head Tabajos came in way bigger than the last couple batches, easily double the size of the last ones. Great time to stock up on these, which are probably the most popular Geophagus type out there.

Silver Dollars came in great size last week, another great dither fish option for big tanks with big SA/CA cichlids

Rocket Gar got restocked and are larger than last batch. Great little mini-predators that are super fun to watch. Make sure to get some feeder guppies for them!

Bloodfin tetras are running Jumbo-sized this week! One of the most attractive of the common tetras, especially when you see a big group together. They're known for being a little nippy though, so maybe more of a semi-aggressive community fish.

Pink Kissing Gouramis are still coming in great size. Not sure how much longer this will last once it starts to get cold here.

Blue Cobra Guppies have nice big tails. If you only care about tail size, buy these.

Lyretail "guppies" (which are actually endlers) are back in stock after a lengthy absence.

Red Glass Barbs new batch is looking fantastic! Great color on these and they have good size on them too

Kubotai Rasboras are one of just 3 or 4 newly stocked Rasboras for this week! We have your nano fish needs covered!
