You can’t leave them alone for a minute, can ya.
More bristlenose breeding. 🤯
These are a ‘normal’ coloured pair that we had to rehome from someone due to health issues ☹️
There’s a few little wrigglers in there.

Check out these beauties.
The blue one won’t sit still long enough for a great shot, but the red one was still just enough.
I wasn’t going to look at the fighter selection, but glad I did. 🤩😍

Tetras.
And Rasboras.
Generally small and colourful little friendly fish.
Some do get bigger and some aren’t always friendly, but for the most see my original comment.
12 clips here, featuring 14 different fish. There are SO many more though. There’s probably 5 or 6 more in the shop that either wouldn’t come out enough to photo/video or that there was only 1 or 2 of left in the tank.
On display in this montage we have
Cardinal tetra and Silver dollar-dollars easily capable of 6 inches
Penguin tetra-can be a bit nippy with long finned fishes
Red tail Rasbora-nice little stripe down the body with a nice red tail as they mature/feel more secure in the aquarium
Glass bloodfin tetra
Rummynose tetra
X-ray/ Pristella tetra
Emperor tetra-these one’s are chunky little monkeys
Black neon tetra
Flame tetra
Black widow/black skirt tetra
Lemon tetra-these ones in the shop are beautiful fish
And finally Galaxy Rasbora (formally known as Celestial Pearl Danio) lovely tiny coloured fish and Sailfin tetra.

Frozen fish foods.
Convenient, inexpensive and tasty (apparently)
The fish in the shop always seem to relish any different foods we offer, and we offer a lot.
But frozen foods rarely last long in the tanks. The fish love to gobble it up
These 3 jars were for different tanks, but the Sipver Dollars and Cardinal Tetra loved the Bloodworm and Brineshrimp.
As an added bonus, the Brineshrimp is infused with garlic. It’s a good appetite stimulant and will help to some degree as a natural anti-parasite guard.
99.9% of frozen blister foods (we have one special one that’s more expensive) are £3.50 a pack or 4 for £12.00!

Assorted (maculatus) Platy
Female Guppy, Endler/hybrid Guppy, and 2 tanks of Male Guppy
Assorted Swordtails - males have a longer extension on the bottom of their tails, hence the name

Our little Fahaka puffer of the prowl. Looking for snails.
How cool is it the way they blow air out to disturb the gravel.
Found some pest snails for him and gave it some rivershrimp to hunt.

A few pics from Tuesdays Thailand shipment.
More assorted molly and platy, neon tetra, albino ruby shark (nice), Cardinal tetra, check out these little Orange banded hill stream catfish-pretty much fully grown 😮, and the Parrotfish that were in a previous video.
Few more pics to come from today’s delivery.
Might do a whole walk round of the fish later, what do you think?

Brineshrimp
Tubifex worms
Mysis shrimp
Large bloodworm
Daphnia
River shrimp
Still no small bloodworm (same as everyone else as far as I know) due to hot weather where it comes from as it doesn’t last. 😔
Frozen bloodworm available though.

You either love them or hate them. I used to hate them to be honest, don’t mind them so much now. It really depends on the fish. Everyone has their own taste.
But check out our new Flower horn cichlid. 🤩
