2024 was a great year of growth and learning. We got to meet soooo many new faces amd watch the hobby grow.
We survived a move that almost broke us (it was a tough one), but we kept it up, pushed through amd with the encouragement of so many amazing customers, now friends, family and just the love of the hobby we made it through.
We wish that 2025 will be Happy, healthy, successful and fishy for all of you.
HAPPY NEW YEAR

Alot of people wondering how to keep tanks cooler or at least at temp they want.
Truth is, it's very difficult and o e of the more dangerous things is the warmer the water the less the oxygen. Most fish will be fine wit the gradual increase, but throw an extra airborne in there to pump the bubbles up for the exchange.
Here's a few things I do...
1st thing I suggest is KEEP LIGHTS OFF. despite of the LED crazy... they still give off heat.
2nd frozen water bottles to float (filled with primed water in case they leak).
3rd the obvious one is fans, but some cheap PC cooling fans built into a little frame will do wonders as well.
Fish are very adaptable, inverts maybe not so much.
Do your best with what you can.

In all my years in the hobby, I've see some pretty cool spawning of course bless species.
This was one of the coolest to experience.
The Splash Tetra (Copella Arnoldi).
In the wild they spawning on thr underneath of above water vegetation. This keeps predators away both in water and hidden from predators above.
Available soon for avaid hobbyists.
PS.
Don't blink during the video or you might miss it. And excuse the excited kids narrating 😆 🤣 😂 that's Mitchell Brown and Gene Man 😆
