Who remembers these? I honestly feel like this is my favorite idea I ever came up with for the store. When we started working on expanding into all of the side tanks, I stopped doing them because I just didn’t have time to keep them updated once things sold out. Well, I’m bringing them back and I’ll be working on them right after I hit post, so you may find some available today but, if not, definitely next week!
For those that are newer around here, these are what I call Mystery Packs! They’re exactly what they sound like. You pick an envelope that would fit what you’re looking for, pay for it, and then you get whatever is inside!
I started this as a way for people to try different fish, plants, and even foods once our inventory started growing to an exceptional level. There’s so much out there in this hobby and I thought this was a great way to get people out of their comfort zones and experience new species. Plus, you always save a few bucks by getting a mystery pack. One person saved about $50 on a pack before! Now, they aren’t all like that, but there are definitely some great deals to be had!
So next time you’re trying to decide on what food to get, what plants to try, or what fish you want to work with, consider picking up a mystery pack! The description on the envelope is always accurate and I promise I wouldn’t include something in them that wouldn’t work in your tank. I even include notes about plant eaters, snail eaters, minimum tank sizes, etc on them if necessary.
