We're stepping up the saltwater room this week with some brilliantly beautiful arrivals. 🤩 Maybe we're just giant fans of bold-colored aquatics, but there's no denying the aroura of tints and tones in these tanks. 🎨 Work your way down to gander at our baby pink wrasses, the emerald green crabs, and the awe-inspiring colors of our many Mandarin Dragonets. 🩷 Don't get stuck in the stars, swoop on down to the sandbed and enjoy a relaxing day at Forest Lake Pets.⛱😎

Pleco is the name and eating algae is their game! 🍴
Plecostomus are widely sought after in our hobby not only for their color and appearance but also for the rarity of certain species. 🧐 With all our sizes, shapes, and colors available, it's hard to find a selection like this anywhere else. 🚫 Be sure to fish through some of our tanks on your way in to find the perfect aesthetic fitting for you. 🥰

08/13/2024

Hairless rats! 🐭
A trio of double rex female rats and a trio of double rex male rats are ready to be adopted! ❤️ Both groups are very sweet and a little more mouth-oriented during greetings. 👅 The boys love to snuggle with each other but play a little rough, which is expected out of boys. The favorite treat of these groups is cooked eggs and baby teether treats. 🥚
If your thinking about getting pet rats we always recommend to doing some research on proper husbandry and care. They make astonishing pets, which is why we want you to start out on the right foot. Feel free to stop by if you have any unanswered questions. 🚗

Did you know there are pet cucumbers? 🥒
You heard that right. This wee lad is called a Sand Sifting Cucumber, and it helps keep tanks clean by eating algae, detritus, and other organic waste matter. 🌱 If you're looking for something more electric, take a peek at the new Electric Flame Scallops! 🦪 They have absorbent and reflective tissues that look like their mouths are beaming with electricity. ⚡️ We also received a Desjardini Sailfin Tang, a Stars and Stripes Puffer, and a Caribbean Sunshine Chromis. ☀️

New surrendered guinea pigs are available. 🐷
On hand are two separate couples of males. Both groups are shy and need an outgoing family to help bring out their inner personalities. 💅 Although timid, they all immediately peek their heads out of their hides when they hear food-related noises. 🥕 The first piggy featured is Daryl, who grows luxurious long hair and pays a close resemblance to a colorful mop. 😂 We had to give him a little haircut to help him maintain his devilishly handsome clean coat. ✨

We have the perfect reptiles for all sorts of environments. It’s amazing to be able to see all our different creatures interact and hide within their own tiny ecosystems, especially when in bioactive habitats. They can also be used as great teaching opportunities for learning biology or environmental/Behavioral science. We're equally excited to share we have a Tokay Gecko ready for adoption.

07/23/2024

Five-week-old Syrian hamsters are available.
Momma came in as a surrender after she had a whopping 13 jelly bean babies at her previous home. She has been an absolute trooper raising so many little beanlings without losing a single one. They are all highly food-motivated and go bananas for all things food and snack-related, stuffing their cheeks till they can fit no more. We highly suggest starting with at the very least a 20-long tank and upgrading down the road.

07/22/2024

Take a quick peek at this week's top coral picks.

With over 10 types of Anubias, there are options galore for your aquarium! Starting with the smallest; Anubias Nana Golden, these are the perfect accent pieces for any wood or rock. Next, Anubias Coffeefolia has fun wavy leaves that help fill empty spaces. Finally, our Anubias Frazeri. Coming in at over 12" these are great for those large tanks. These awesome Anubis have long enough roots you could even plant. Just make sure to keep the rhizomes uncovered.

For current rats, we have a trio of hairless females, a female duo, and a male duo, two male trios, and a cage of males that can go as groups or singletons.

Ever heard of Death Head Roaches? ☠️
This species eats decaying matter, vegetation, and even wood, although they love to eat almost anything. 🍎 Death Heads LOVE to dig, but they are not very good hiders, as when you lift the décor or wood they'll almost always be there and scurry away. Impress or gross out your friends with an easy-to keep, menacing-looking pet roach!💀

"MOM! DAD! I'M HUNGRY!" At least that's what we like to think this particular Freshwater Stingray is thinking when making this kind of commotion.

Did you know Pistol Shrimp are nearly blind? 👀 This species likes to pair with gobies in a symbiotic relationship. 👫 The goby watches out for the Pistol Shrimp by chasing off fish that get close, while the Pistol Shrimp makes a safe and cozy home. 🏡 This pairing mostly depends on the size of the goby. Check out our website at https://forestlakepets.com for this week’s arrivals. #saltwaterfish #reeffish #saltwateraquarium #saltwatertank #reeftank #reefaquarium #aquariums #shoplocal #familyowned #flp #forestlakepets #minnesotaslocalfishshop #wrasse #urchin #starfish #goby #coral #Tang #wrasse #saltwater #blackworms #copepods

Blackworms are back in stock! 🪱 The fish love them, so they don't tend to be in stock long - they're in high demand and low supply nationwide.

Forest Lake Pets has got the hookup for Live Brine Shrimp! But that's not all 😃, we also have Copepods and Phytoplankton! If you've got picky fish (fresh or salt), try giving live brine shrimp or copepods a try.
