Hey folks,
Best thing about it continuing to be busy is that it justifies bringing in new and unusual items and this week is no exception. I'll do my best to cover as much as I can but I'm sure I'm bound to miss an item or two. The far east saw the biggest week of incoming in months. We have to start with what I believe to be the most exciting newcomer and that's the Albino Red Head Tapajos. While this strain has been around for a bit it isn't one we've had before. Currently these are right around 1" and white. But do yourself a favor and Google a pic of the adults and you'll see why you need to be putting this on your order right now. Yes they are small at the moment with no color but these will sell on name alone. Another exciting item this week are the Albino Red Tiger Nemo Oscars. We have had these in the past but it's been years. These are very similar to the Chili Oscars but they tend to have a bit more white to the background coloration and these came in substantially larger than what we usually get with the Chilis. And since we started with a far east Cichlid theme we'll continue that with the restocking of Apistogramma Agassizii in both Fire Gold and Double Red variants. Electric Blue Rams came in at a great size. And to round things out, both figuratively and literally, we got in a small batch of Blood Parrots.
Far East shipments were not just loaded with Cichlids this week however. Some old favorites got refills this week with a slew of Rasboras that include Harlequin, Redline, Galaxy and Emerald Dwarf. Puffers also saw multiple restocks for Spotted, Figure Eight and Dwarf. But if you your preferences lean toward the slippery and slimy then we got you covered as we got in Marble Moray, Zig Zag and Fire Eels. All are good size and all look absolutely fantastic. The bottom dweller category brought us 3" Clown Loaches, Borneo Suckers and my all time favorite Cory, Barbatus. Inverts were not going down without a fight as we got in a ton (yet still never enough) shrimp including Red Crystal, Red Cherry, Black Cherry, Bloody Mary, Pinnochio and Bamboo just to name a few. And last but not least we finally got a huge restocking of Discus including the immensely popular Singapore 2.5-3" assorted.
Colombia got in late last night but I still managed to grab a few pics of the incoming as you'll see below. Most exciting item is probably the least colorful but most certainly one of the more interesting in appearance and that would be the Shoehead Cats. I wouldn't even know where to begin with a verbal description so I'm glad we have a really good pic of one in the photo gallery down below. Can't believe we got these restocked so quickly but we did get in another batch of large Barracuda. Gold Tetras are back for the first time in over a month. Banjo Cats are a bit on the small size but are showing very nice patterns. Giant Otos continue to come in at an impressive size. And if you're in the market for Plecos then we got you covered this week with restocks on Royal, Snowball, Butterfly, and Yellow Spot aka Sabaji L-75. Also have decent numbers on both small and large Green Phantoms with a smattering of super nice Blues.
And to round things out we of course have some Florida raised highlights. My favorite has to to be the new strain of Gold Pearl Gourami to emerge recently. These retain the typical spotted pattern of the original but have a very eye catching gold/green hue to them. Great size on these too especially since the standards are running small at them moment. Rainbows continue to shine in just about every offering but if you've never carried the Blehri then this is the week to try them. Size and color are about as good as they get on these. But if it's Cichlids you're looking for then it's Cichlids we got. We probably have the largest number of assorted Peacocks I have ever seen here including medium, large and XL. Everything from pure strains to OB hybrids. No matter what you're flavor is we got you covered. This is a great time to maintain inventory levels while the busy season Marches on. Yes, that was a horrible play on words on purpose lol.
