Another tank Tip for you guys. TEST KITS!!!!!
Every hobbyist who wants to provide the best environment for their fish should own a test kit. It really is the best way to monitor your water quality and diagnose any issues when things start going wrong in your aquarium.

Species Spotlight!! Wrestling Half Beak.
Below is a little more info from Wiki:
Wrestling halfbeaks are surface-feeding fish and feed on a variety of small invertebrates including crustaceans and insect larvae, but especially mosquito larvae and flying insects that have fallen onto the surface of the water. As with all halfbeaks, the upper jaw lifts upwards when the fish is opening its mouth. Wrestling halfbeaks are livebearing fish, the females giving birth to around twenty offspring after a gestation period of about a month.
Wrestling halfbeaks are sexually dimorphic. The females are larger than the males and grow up to 7 cm (3 in) long; males only reach about 5.5 cm (2.2 in) and typically has red or yellow patches on the dorsal fin and the beak. The males of wrestling halfbeaks will fight among themselves by locking jaws, hence their name, for up to thirty minutes.
This species was described as Dermogenys pusillus by Heinrich Kuhl and Johan Coenraad van Hasselt in 1823 with the type locality given as Bogor, Java, the name was subsequently amended to the feminine form.

Only one in store!!! Red male betta!!! Reserve him this weekend, then collect him next weekend after we let him out of quarantine.
He's just come in to us, so we won't let him go until next Thursday (you know, because we want to do the right thing, get him settled, make sure he's got nothing wrong with him, let him have some time between tank moves).
He's gonna go pretty quickly, so if you want this beautiful little guy in your tank at home...don't sit on your hands. Be quick.
Tank Tip Tuesday. Let's have it!!
There's lots of opinions and lots of misinformation out there, and Google will tell you you're doing exactly the right thing and exactly the wrong thing all at the same time, so we're launching Tank Tip Tuesdays.
Each Tuesday we'll send out a short video, a little tip as it were, to help answer a lot of questions you all have about your tanks and about the hobby.
Be sure to follow along. New Tank Tip, every Tuesday 👍👍
This is such an amazing product!! 😍😎. Back in stock!!
The blurb from the website:
"Nitrico Bacterial Goop is a pouch of live nitrifying bacteria. It will allow you to add fish to a new aquarium without the usual ammonia and nitrite problems associated with immature filters. You can also add Nitrico Goop to your existing mature tank to prevent Ammonia or Nitrite spikes when introducing new fish. We always recommend testing your water quality regularly, whether using a Nitrico Bacterial product or not.
Each pouch of Nitrico Goop contains trillions of true, freshwater Ammonia and Nitrite Oxidising bacteria. These bacteria are alive and ready to colonise your Aquarium. They are hungry for fish waste and will break down the ammonia and nitrite in your aquarium to ensure that the water continues to be safe for your fish, shrimps, frogs or any other aquatic life that you are keeping.
They should be added to your tank as soon as you can so that they remain alive and ready to break down any available ammonia or nitrite. This product does not have a long shelf life (as it is alive) and that is why, whereever possible, we advise that your pouch of bacteria is used as soon as possible after it arrives, ideally within 48 hours. Fish can be added to the tank at the same time or within 48 hours of the bacteria being introduced."
It's that day again ladies and gents!! DELIVERY DAY!!! - Let's have a ganders and see what we've got in stock for you this weekend 👀👀😃😃
