Fancy shrimp finally made the list
Hey folks,
Yet another great week of incoming but before we jump into what's new, if you missed last week's email we got in a bunch of new shrimp from Taiwan. Most are still available and made it onto this week's price list. We took more pics so if you didn't see them before now's your chance to check them out down below. For this week we're gonna dive right into South America with another solid shipment from Colombia. Right out the gate one of the best looking to come in are the medium Silver Arowanas. Look to be in great shape with a bit more size to them this time around. Sticking with silver but with a touch of color are the Pinktail Chalceus. Great schooler for larger tanks with semi aggressive inhabitants. Cories got some nice restocks including Pygmy, Concolor, Metae and good sized Gold/Greens. And rounding out the shipment are some what look to be very solid so far Marble Hatchets.
As usual got in some great additions from Asia. We'll start with some brackish baddies. BB Gobies look to be both vibrant and plentiful. New Archers are good size with very clean markings. Always a crowd pleaser given their natural hunting techniques. And Figure Eight Puffers are about as green as they get. Tank raised Uaru are about as big as the last batch close to 2" on average. Blue Rams are coming in as far east imports and are very nice but these are more like wild types than German. Big with very nice color. Red Frontosas are back, one of the most affordable variants in the hobby. Gold Wonder Killies are some of the brightest we've seen quite some time. Everyone's favorite Balloon fish, Penguin Tetras, are back in stock this week. Needle Nose Gar are in for the first time in who knows how long. Very limited but great size. Burmese Sun Cats are the size of Bullheads. New Adolfoi Cories not only have bright orange caps but super thick black stripes going down the dorsal side making for super contrast. And last but not least got in a really nice restock of 2-2.5" Singapore Discus.
Can never go a week without some great Florida raised goodies. Just about every Angel available this week looks fantastic but the two standouts are the select Koi and the Large Veils. Color on the Koi is outstanding and large veils are huge. As is typical for this time of year really can't go wrong with any of the locally raised Rainbows but this week's standout are the Kamakas. Will never understand why these aren't more popular. Body color is just as nice as the Turquoise but once settled males display a silver blaze down the dorsal side. Black Ruby Barbs are about as mixy as you can get when it comes to size but there are some bigger males in the group showing adult color. Be sure to put them over a dark substrate to really make the "ruby" come out. Most of the Cherry Barbs available this week are homegrown and both size and color is fantastic. Got a restock on Super Red Bushynose. These are already showing their "red" coloration even if it is more like a shade of rust. Regardless these are the hottest selling Bushynose variant in the hobby these days. Doubt we'll have any after the weekend.

| We put out a video on our socials over the weekend featuring Royal Plecos including this guy here so don't be surprised if people come asking for them now lol. |
|
 |
| Gold/Green Cories came in at a fantastic size and great color. |
|
 |
| Concolor Cories are back for the first time in months. Once settled these have an almost half & half coloration to from dark to light giving them a vey unique appearance. |
|
 |
| Metae aka Bandit Cories are one of the most popular species for a reason. Nice clean pattern, hardy as can be and best of all one of the most marketable names in the hobby. |
|
 |
| Should be enough Pygmy Cories to go around this week. Perfect for the ever popular nano tank craze that continues to rage on. |
|
 |
| Pink Tail Chalceus are a perfect fit for misfit tanks. |
|
 |
| Marble Hatchets got a restock this week. Always touch and go with these guys but when they hold up they are twice as popular as the Silvers. |
|
 |
| Medium Silver Arowanas arrived in great shale and very nice size this time around. |
|
 |
| Finally got a really nice pic of the BB Gobies. But please note this is extremely magnified, they are tiny as usual. However that never stops them from being the best selling "freshwater" goby in the hobby. |
|
 |
| New Archers came in listed at 1.5" but most are 2"+. This species has one of the coolest hunting techniques of any fish on the planet hence the name. |
|
 |
| New batch of Redtail Tinfoil Barbs are nearly twice the size of the past few batches. Big enough that the red coloration is starting to come through. |
|
 |
| Last batch of Uaru sold out in less than a week. That just goes to show |
