AQUARICA – Celebrating 7 Years

AQUARICA opened on Dec 8, 2017 and yesterday we celebrated our 7th year anniversary.

What does turning 7 mean for AQUARICA? It means we have been fortunate to have ongoing support from our great customers and suppliers, and that we have been able to put together a team that customers trust and enjoy interacting with. Thank you to each and every one of you for enabling us do what we enjoy.

Aquarica will donate an amount equal to 7% of sales between December 10 to December 24 to local charities FeedNS and Hope for Wildlife. Please consider supporting these (and other) organizations who do a great job of helping those who need a helping hand.

With our 7th year behind us, we have also decided to open 7 days a week. Starting Monday Dec 16th, we will open on Mondays from 12-5.

AQUARICA – Sept 5 ‘School’ Update!

The word school referring to a place of learning traces back to Greek scholē, which, surprisingly, means "leisure". To the Greeks, leisure allowed a man to spend time thinking and finding out about things. Hence, the connection between leisure and the pursuit of knowledge, and eventually to a place of learning.

The school in "school of fish" is etymologically unrelated and comes from Middle Dutch schole and is related to Old English scolu, meaning "multitude" or "school of fish," and to Modern English shoal in the same meaning.

Thanks to the Merriam Webster website for the above information.

AQUARICA – June 5 Recent Arrivals

A serious note today. We celebrate June 6th, 2024 as the 80th anniversary of D-Day. Although it is a celebration, it is important to recall that 75 million people were killed on D-day and throughout WW2. D-day was necessary, but it is unfortunate that it became necessary.

It continues to defy logic that some ‘leaders’ continue to perpetuate the cycle of war and violence against innocent people in the name of ‘re-unification’ or other rationale. These ‘leaders’ have to be stopped by brave souls. Please take a moment to think about those who have fallen and, if you can, do whatever you can do to dissuade ‘leaders’ from further wars.

Imagine all the people, livin’ life in peace…

AQUARICA – Feb 29 Update

An opportunity to post on Feb 29 occurs once every 4 years! A rarity indeed, so we thought we would highlight some of the rare fish that we recently received:

1. L236 Super White Cracked Zebra Pleco RB Line – First appearing in 1997, still extremely rare and sought after. Our current specimens are tank raised and 2.25+ inches.

2. Burundi Frontosas – Tanganyikan cichlid that grow up to 12 inches, live up to 25 years and known for their nuchal hump. Our current stock is locally bred and about 1.5 inches.

3. Long fin blue-eye golden bristlenose – Beautiful flowing fins combined with the practicality of a great algae eater. Various sizes from 2-3.5 inches currently available

AQUARICA – Feb 15 Update

As we wrote our prior Jan 31 post, we had thought about mentioning the unusually mild winter we were enjoying. Two big storms later and I am glad that it was not us who jinxed the weather.

Thank you to the Atlantic fish community for your ongoing support! We recently reached a milestone 50,000 customer transactions. That would include a few fish and plants, aquariums, fish food, décor, and lot of Prime and Stability. We have had a ton of great interactions with customers, incredible livestock from local and overseas breeders, and made it through crazy shipment schedules, covid, fire, and flood. We look forward to many more fun years!
