Hey folks,
hope all of you are seeing a similar uptick in business like we are for this typically slower time of year. Not sure what's driving the demand but I'm not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth. So with that being said it's a good thing we still have plenty of nice fish to go around. Just a reminder GloFish® Danios are still on sale for the remainder of the month so don't miss out on this rare opportunity. And speaking of GloFish® we have Starfire Red® Pristellas and Electric Green® Cories in stock this week. These have been two of the most sought after varieties this year so grab as many as you can!
We got in what I would say are some the nicest Orandas I've seen come through here so far, 10-11cm Black & Reds. This is probably the most in demand color combo for this fish there is. When I was in retail we always had a waiting list of people looking for these. Full transparency there are some Black & White Panda types in the mix but that's ok because those are even more sought after. Also in from Asia this week are Rainbow Gobies. These adorable little bottom dwellers are big enough to already be showing some color. While most Gobies tend to prefer brackish conditions I've kept these in straight fresh as long as the general hardness was relatively high. We also got restocked on the ever popular Knight Goby. Now these I would definitely recommend keeping under brackish conditions in order for them to truly thrive. Frozen foods are also highly recommended for both species. And speaking of cool bottom dwellers we also got in Delhezi Bichirs. These most certainly grow to a much larger size than the two afore mentioned Gobies but regardless these are always in demand and sell out in a hurry.
Before I get into the next section I just wanted to give a shout out to everyone who took advantage of the extensive inventory we brought in of Central/South American Cichlids the last couple of weeks. The faster this stuff flies out of here the more I can justify bringing in cool and rare items. Perhaps that's why the last couple of weeks have been so good. So with that being said I do have a couple of new additions due in this afternoon, Black Umbees and True Red Terrors. Ok, so the Red terrors aren't technically new but they are always in demand and this is arguably the nicest strain out there, provided a pic of the adults down below. However the Black Umbees have not been in stock in the nearly two years that I've been here so those count as new, or at least newly returned. Speaking on Central/Southies we still have one of my all time favorites still available, Cuban Cichlids. We have them in all three sizes and if you're not familiar with these google what they look like as adults. Super crisp contrast on these. And somehow we still have some Fredrichstahli on hand. Call them Yellow Jacket Cichlids, they'll sell much better that way.
And last but not least be sure to check out our Specials page this week. Managed to get a lot of great stuff on there at killer prices. I put in pics of as many as I could down below but I ran out of room. Some that didn't make the cut due to space restraints include Australian Rainbows, Gold Killies, Brochis Splendens and Black Skirt Tetras.Take advantage of these deals and run some specials to keep your sales momentum going. Last thing you want to do is have things slow down sooner than they have to.
