Big Venustus Haps came in over the weekend! One of the most popular cichlids, and perfect to mix into a Peacock tank. These are big and fully colored up, definitely the largest Africans in stock right now if you need show tank fish

Hey Folks,

Got in some more great locally raised Cichlids over the weekend. Large Venustus, Mooriis, Maulana Bicolors, and Albino Zebras! All look fantastic, as usual. its nice to be able to add some more specific species to the stock list offerings. We get all these species in the mixes, but if you wanted specifically a big male Venustus, now you can specify exactly what you want.

Speaking of Florida fish, we also found a good number of really nice sized Cherry Barbs that are extremely male-heavy. These are the best looking cherries I've seen in weeks, so stock up now before these run out and we're back to having to sell imported ones that are half the size and twice the price. Even if you don't need more this week, if you're ordering this week and you need more for any point in the next month, I'd throw a few dozen on your order, that's the smart thing to do for the future.

I'm also not sure how we missed it on the Friday email, but we got 2 new fancy goldfish in for this week! Pandas and Pearlscales! The pearlscales are the biggest we've ever gotten, and the Pandas are the best quality Pandas we've ever gotten. Pics below of both.

We also realized we've been forgetting to put the Black Umbee cichlids on the list. Whoops! They've been here a few weeks, but were in a bottom row tank so we kept missing it when updating the list. They're on the "new fish list" now for those of you that are interested in these more rare Central-American cichlids.

Reach out to your rep if you have any questions.

We found a vat or two of nice, large sized Cherry Barbs on the farm, and they're going out this week. Great time to stock up on cherries if you need them,

Large Agassizzi cory are truly large. Great size, and holding up very well here so far.

10-11CM Pearlscale Goldfish are here for the first time ever! Biggest Pearlscales we've ever gotten and they look fantastic. Mostly red and white combos, some have a little black sprinkled in.

Panda Goldfish are back! We stopped ordering these from a supplier a year or two ago when the quality to price ratio was not very good, but now a new supplier is offering them so we tried them out and the results are very solid. They're not show-quality fish like you'll see if you google 'panda goldfish", but for the price I think these are significantly nicer than the ones from the old breeder.

We forgot to put Black Umbees on the list for a few weeks in a row! Much rarer than the Blue Umbees we've had a few times recently.

Fancy Medium Mix Mbuna have some excellent fish in the mix you would never get in the standard medium mix.

Frontosas are running about twice as large as usual. Great pickup for the price right now.

Male Bicolor Peacocks are new, haven't had in quite a while. These are sometimes in the mix, but not often, so this is a chance to get specifically this popular strain to add to your selection in store.

Large Blue Dolphin Moorii Haps are also back for the first time in a couple years. We regularly have reg and med sizes, but large are tough to come by. Color is perfect, and they already have nice humps on the forehead.

Arizona Blonde Tarantulas are on the list as large females this week. These are one of the easiest species to take care of and you definitely want females as they live longer and are a bit bigger. They may kick hairs occasionally but are not known to be aggressive biters. Great for beginners!
