The aFISHionados

Good evening,

New Items are listed in red on the list. You can view our latest stock list on our website.

We are in the midst of a 7 thousand gallon expansion at the warehouse and some of it is now starting to come online. With that in mind we are anticipating an increase in stock levels coming up. This week definitely that is the case. Highlights of the newest arrivals are;

▪ Red Bulu Petrochromis from Lake Tanganyika at by far the cheapest price we have been able to sell them at.
▪ Years after losing our breeders some of the first young Enantiopus sp. kilesa - Dream cichlids from Lake Tanganyika
▪ Mozambique demasoni- while technically an elongatus this small mbuna is if anything even prettier then demasoni and nowhere near as aggressive.
▪ Tanganyikan gobies - Eretmodus cyaenostictus. A fantastic bi-parental mouthbrooder!
▪ Geophagus sveni - definitely one of it not the most colorful of all the Geophagus. Even at this size is starting to fire up.
▪ Large cardinals are at long last back in stock
▪ Altum angelfish from Rio Vichada. Unlike the ones from Atabapo or Iniridia these ones can handle harder water and are a lot easier to care for.
▪ Leiarus pictus - the fantastic Sailfin marble catfish. Have not had these for a couple decades! Came in fantastic size as well
▪ A number of rainbow fish and livebearers were also along for the ride!

A reminder again as has come up a few times this past week. Most dry foods, smaller pumps, heaters etc all can be shipped with the livestock orders. If it can fit into the boxes and is not heavy like gravel it can fly with fish for those looking to stock up all at once.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask!

Good afternoon,

New Items are listed in red on the list. You can view our latest stock list on our website.

We have received a few more GloFish as we try to stay stocked on them. Glosharks came and went pretty quickly so hoping early September for the next wave.

As one who has his birthday in the dead of a Winnipeg winter in February I always celebrated with friends on my half birthday in August. So seeing it falls on a Saturday this year we will be holding a half birthday sale in the warehouse this Saturday, August 10th. Warehouse only.

Out of town folks we will move free shipping on Air Canada till Monday, August 12th to orders 600.00 or more before taxes on all live stock and small dry goods.

Any questions please do not hesitate to ask!

At long last GloSharks are now legal in Canada as of this week. We have received all 4 colour varieties. GloSharks are genetically modified with Jellyfish DNA just like the other GloFish. Their base fish are rainbow sharks which are very hardy and capable of handling a diverse set of tank mates. Below are some quick shots. I apologize in advance for the quality of the photo.

Next up we are expecting plants to arrive after the long weekend this week.

Any questions please do not hesitate to ask!

We have had a crazy couple weeks so I am definitely behind on these. DFO gathering was an absolute blast and made it one of my most favourite birthdays I must admit! Rusty Wessel brought so many different species of livebearers I am sure I will be seeing their young in the near future from the folks who managed to win their bids! We will try to have another gathering later this year for sure to watch out for.

Last arrival on fish highlights are;

▪ A wide number of cool Corydoras species to pick from again including some bit less seen ones
▪ More of the super cute amazon puffer fish
▪ Couple very cool knife fish in an Adontosternarchus species and tiger knife fish
▪ Spotted and regular Rio Nanay angelfish the absolute standard for what an angelfish should be
▪ Nice sized smiling acara - Laetacara thayeri. A group of small cichlids often overlooked but a fantastic group. Great snail eaters to boot
Next up should be a bonanza of African cichlids!

Cheers

Now for some fun news. First up what do you get a cichlid nut who has everything he could ask for fish wise? Well another cichlid nut of course! The next gathering of the DFO is set for the evening of Friday, February 9th. The speaker for this gathering will be none other then Rusty Wessel from Louisville, Kentucky.

▪The return of the mixed mbuna. (During covid any and every fish were needed so never had extra to make mixes from!)

We will be open extended hours tomorrow of 12-6 for the Black Friday sale, warehouse only. I will do my best to bring out a number of cool items to have on sale tomorrow!

Lastly a reminder that we have moved to our winter hours now till at least March 17th as follows...

Tuesday 12-6PM
Thursday 12-6PM
Friday 1-5PM
Saturday. 11-5PM
Sunday 12-5PM

Appointments are available outside of these hours for orders of 300.00 or more. Contact us directly for details.

We have received the latest JBL shipment which is the largest shipment we have ever taken in at once. I hope to start having pricing on the website at some point this weekend. Just a monumental task to unpack this one.

Next up we are anticipating Sicce's heaters to arrive.

Cheers

Spencer
