Hey folks,
Well as is typical for this time of year the temperatures start to drop sales are starting to rise. The colder it gets the more people stay inside and spend time on their hobbies. With that in mind next week is the last full week of shipping before Thanksgiving so this is the best time to order especially if you are planning on having any kind of Black Friday weekend sale (which you absolutely should).
So with that being said now is the time to start stocking up so your inventory is full when customers come a knocking and this week we have plenty for you to offer when that happens. We'll start with Colombia. Somehow we have been able to fill Otos for the past few weeks and looks like that rend is going to continue this week as well. I highly suggest stocking up on one of the most popular algae eaters as these are always in high demand but often in short supply. Along those same lines we still have and got reinforced on Pygmy Cories. This is another one that will just disappear from availability lists out of nowhere so not a bad idea to keep a surplus of these. And if we're loading up on scavengers then I would suggest adding some Farlowellas to the mix.
Turning away from scavengers are more towards the top of the the water column we have probably the deepest inventory of Silver Hatchets that I've ever seen here. That is sure not to last so this is another one worth stocking up on. And if it's silver you need it's silver we got as we are loaded with Characins this week including Red Hooks, Pinktail Chalceus, Flagtail Prochilodus and the most aptly named in this category, Silver Dollars. But my favorite group as usual brings us to the Plecos. Quite a few have been on hiatus since summer but some of that got remedied this week. The Colombian Zebras we got last time were here for all of about eight seconds but we were able to get a few extra bags this time around so maybe they'll be here for twice that long lol. Snowballs also got a refill and while they are on the small side they're just as likely to sell out due to the cuteness factor. Butterflies have been out for ages but they're back with a vengeance. These are about twice the size of the last batch. And one of the newer species we just started picking up in the last year, Black Cucuta are in for the first time in months.
Asia always provides not only some much needed staples but some fun surprises as well and this week that comes in the form of Mono Argenteus. Can't remember the last time we had these as we've mostly been getting the Sebaes for the past couple of years. Argenteus used to be a brackish staple but lately they have fallen into obscurity since their availability has been rather inconsistent. And since we're on the subject of brackish staples not only do we have the much beloved Figure Eight Puffer but we also have them in a large size that is very much deserving of that description as these guys look like golf balls swimming around the tank. But moving away from brackish and into nano fish I am happy to announce that we finally got Chili Rasboras in stock. Now that being said they will probably be sold out in the first ten minutes after the list is released so order early. On the opposite side of the spectrum (eventually that is) we got in a fresh batch of far east raised Rocket Gar. These little guys are already trying to eat us out of house and home as you can see from their fat little bellies. These will double in size by the time they start shipping out on Sunday lol. And if you haven't been following the newsletter lately be sure to check out our livebearer selection. We recently picked up a new supplier out of Sri Lanka and their quality has been nothing short of impressive, especially when it comes to their Guppies. But this week the show stopper from there were the Leopard Balloon Mollies. Pic is down below and you'll see what I'm talking about.
And of course no newsletter is complete without some Florida raised gems.First and foremost we got reloaded on Peacocks in medium. large and XL sizes. Fantastic mix of straight colors along with a lot of crosses and OBs. If you're looking for some show pieces for a display or a service client we got you covered. For smaller items we got some great restocks on regular sized Mbuna including Albino Auratus, Red Top Hongi and my personal favorite-Msobos. That last one is the best value of the bunch. Running big for a regular (around 2") and males are already showing a ton of color. For Centrals/Southies 3" Cubans are one of the biggest standouts this week. Already in adult dress and trying to fight each other to the death. You will probably want to keep these separate from each other. For pure color the Tabasco Salvini are tough to beat. Solid red undersides with turquoise speckles scattered throughout. But if you're in the market for something a bit more bread and butter we have Green Terrors available in multiple size this week.

|
|
 |
| Got a limited number of Electric Green Cory available this week |
|
 |
| Electric Green and Starfire Red Angels |
|
 |
| Butterfly Plecos are huge, nearly twice the size of the last few batches. It says 'small" on the stock list, but they're all this big, don't worry. |
|
 |
| New Snowball Plecos are on the smaller side but that just helps with their overall contrast. Spots tend to be bigger and on the juveniles and really helps them stand out. |
|
 |
| Colombian Zebras are back again and while they are running a bit smaller than last time I don't expect these will be here for very long as they have been in short supply for the past few months. |
|
 |
| Black Cucuta Plecos are a Bushynose relative and do just as good of a job cleaning and tend to hold up better. |
|
 |
| BB Cats came in much bigger this week and are practically running at a medium size. |
|
 |
| Arcuatus aka Skunk Cory |
|
 |
| Silver Hatchets continue to come in nice and solid and should have plenty to go around this week. |
|
 |
| Sailfins are THE coolest Tetra to come out of Colombia. These can be a bit nippy so give them room and some shelter. Shredded black plastic works in a pinch. |
|
 |
| Pinktail Chalceus are perfect for that difficult to fill semi-aggressive tank gap that many of your customers have. These work great for tanks with larger, territorial species as a dither fish. |
|
 |
| Flagtail Prochilodus are perfect sized and well acclimated. Tails should start to color up very soon. |
|
 |
| Red Hooks are great size, and make a perfect schooling fish for a larger tank or a tank with predatory cichlids |
|
 |
| Pike Cichlids came in huge this week. These are a Belly Crawler type with very distinct striped patterns to them. |
|
 |
| If your sick of stocking knife fish only to have them hide on you all day then try picking up some Transparents. Ironically this is one of the few species you'll actually SEE out and about during the day lol. |
|
 |
| Mono Argenteus are in for the first time in eons. Close cousins of the Sebae these are easily distinguished by their bright yellow fins. These also tend to be more circular in shape as well. While they are brackish by nature we keep them in hard water with very little salt added and they hold up just fine. |
|
 |
| New batch of large Figure Eight Puffers are some of the biggest I've seen come through here. Usually it's just a noticeable differ in size but these are at least a third larger than the regulars. |
|
 |
| Blue Neon Gobies are in and looking great so far. Color is just starting to pop and will become even more prevalent once over substrate |
|
 |
| The most popular nano fish in the entire hobby, Chili Rasboras, are back this week!. We don't have many, i can 100% guarantee you that we will sell out on the orders that pack Monday, so get your order sent in to your sales rep over the weekend if you want some. |
|
 |
| Hujeta Rocket Gars are already gorging themselves on feeders guppies as evidenced by this pic lol. |
|
 |
| New Balloon Rams are great size with a nice mix of both blues and golds. |
|
 |
| Gold Dojos are some of the nicest we've ever had. Great size and super bright. |
|
 |
| We featured the new version of the Leopard Molly from Sri Lanka a few weeks ago and now we have that same strain in balloon form. These look just as amazing as the standard body does. |
|
 |
| Butterfly Moons are the best looking Platies here this week. |
|
 |
| I think pretty much any Guppy with Moscow in the name are an automatic top seller and This week's Blues are no exception. |
|
 |
| Red Endlers are another great pick for "guppies" this week. This strain always pleases everybody with their intense coloration and Endlers typically hold up better than guppies do. |
|
 |
| Hard to believe that we are half way into November and most of the Rainbows are still running big including the Neon Dwarf. |
|
 |
| Last time we got the Blue Fin Killie it was by mistake but this time around it's on purpose lol. Not to be confused with the Nothobranchius species this is Lucania goodei a Florida native. Males are easily distinguished from the females by their bright red tails as illustrated in the pic. |
|
 |
| Large Assorted Gouramis have a bout as good of a variety as one could want with Blues, Golds, Kissing and some gigantic Pearls in the mix. |
|
 |
| Cherry Barbs are huge this week so it's a good time to stock up on one of the most popular staple items. |
|
 |
| Marlboro Red 2-2.5" |
|
 |
| Leopard 2-2.5" |
|
 |
| Blue Diamond 2-2.5" |
|
 |
| Got Green Terrors in multiple sizes this week including regular, select, 4" and 5". These are all pretty limited though so order early. |
|
 |
| 3" Cubans are showing adult coloration already as they are constantly sparring with each other. |
|
 |
| Tobasco Salvini are one of if not the best looking Central/Southies on the farm this week. |
|
 |
| Got in a very limited number of 4" and 5" Brasiliensis available this week. This is one of the most attractive Geo species but also one of the most aggressive so either keep them separately or with other territorial tankmates. |
|
 |
| 4" Red Head Tapajos are the polar opposite of the Braisilensis in terms of aggression. These tend to be far more peaceful and can be tanked together with little to no issues. |
|
 |
| 4" Heckelii got a restock late last night. Few of these already have their streamers starting to come in. |
|
 |
| Lots of OBs in the assorted large Peacock mix this week. This one looks to have some Redfin Borleyi in the genes. |
|
 |
| XL Peacocks always have some unique, almost one of a kind individuals in the mix. I'm calling this one Fire & Ice lol. |
|
 |
| Haven't featured good ole fashioned Zebra Obliquidens in a while. Sometimes it's good to get back to basics. Although there is nothing "basic" about the brilliant color on these guys. |
|
 |
| Albino Auratus continue to come in a bit oversize. One of the few Mbuna where the albino version is nicer than the original strain. |
|
 |
| If you haven't brought in the Mainganos yet you should. These are significantly nicer than the more commonly available EB Johanni. Equal in size and aggression but deeper in color with better contrast. |
|
 |
| Msobo are running way oversize (around 2"+) and males are nearly in full color. One of the best looking Mbuna you'll almost never see in a box store. |
|
 |
| Red Top Hongi got a restock this week. Fantastic purple body color with bright orange trim throughout. |
|
 |
| Red Crystal Shrimp |

 |
| Red Rili Shrimp |

 |
| Assorted Shrimp |
