This plecos wasn't playing. Our 240 Frontosa display was getting a bit of algae build up. The easy fix? Move one of my plecos from home to the store. In 24 hours has almost completely cleared the side panes.

We only have a few of these guys left. Peacock Gudgeons are colorful, semi-friendly fish.

Phormictopus sp. 'Dominican Purple' (Purple Beauty Bird Eater) Tarantula

These guys get to be about 8 inches (as big as your fist), are THE quickest hunters and have a bit of attitude. I would not label this one as a beginner tarantula, BUT they grow to be one of the PRETTIEST tarantulas.

Can I call a tarantula pretty?

Of course this comes with enclosure as well. πŸ˜¬πŸ™ƒπŸ˜œ

Open until 4pm today.

We have these daisy blue rice fish as well as pink medaka. These have been a very popular fish in the hobby in recent years. Fairly hardy, can take a bit of color temps and lots of people like to throw them in ponds during the summer.

Oh, and happy February. Finally.

Our next contestant on the price is right...

This adult female leopard gecko. She has been here for some time mainly cuz she real cute, but her attitude ain't. πŸ˜‚

Would not probably recommend her for kids, but she may get better with more consistent handling than what she gets here.

She doesn't turn down a meal (obviously) and loves to loaf around her enclosure. Would be great for someone who wants to devote time to see if they can get her out of her hateful ways or for someone who just wants a really pretty lady to watch.

Minimum tank size I would put her in is a 20 long..better would be a 40 breeder. They are terrestrial..not huge climbers so height of the tank isn't as big a concern as length x width.

πŸ“’πŸ“’This week she is 50% off. Will keep discounting until she has a good home. πŸ“’πŸ“’

Guess what? πŸΈπŸ‘.

It's Friday y'all!

This well disguised critter is an African Clawed Frog. Hard to tell which is pebble and which is frog.

We only have 1 of these.

You will see them sold in big box stores as good candidates for community tanks. That is a negative. I would suggest this as the sole occupant in the aquarium. (If looking for a frog in that scenario come in and let's discuss dwarf frogs)

This little amphibian is pushing 5 inches and will eat anything that fits in it's mouth.

They are fun to watch and easy keepers. An aquarium ~10 gallons or more for 1 frog( they are fully aquatic), Room temperature is good for the most part(no special lighting), declorinated water, a good food source and these can live 15-20 years.

Stop in and see the little nugget.
