Hey guys! We now have a mini fridge on the counter that holds our prepackaged red wigglers, nightcrawlers, and black worms. The freezer compartment holds our brine shrimp eggs as keeping them cold greatly extends their shelf life. Before anyone asks, we will be getting the large containers of Aquarium Co-Op brine shrimp eggs as soon as they are available again. They seem to be the number one pick right now for eggs which, in turn, means they are hard to keep in stock.

Update: I’m leaving to go get my order now. It’s about three hours round trip without traffic, so I honestly don’t believe we will be open the rest of the day between hitting heavy traffic on the way back and having to put everything away. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and will update you all when I get back.

Specials for the week are up! Unfortunately, our shipment for this morning got delayed, so I will have to temporarily close for a few hours at some point today to pick it up. I will let you all know when I have to leave and when I get back.

Another big boy purchase checked off and (hopefully) only two or three more before I can feel comfortable taking a small paycheck! Our new freezer is hooked up and staying cold! We’ve got space to add a few more types of frozen for you guys, so let me know what you want to see in here!

Jamie Jackson is the first to guess correctly! Bleeding heart tetras are one of those classic fish that seem to have become somewhat uncommon in shops lately for whatever reason. These guys get a decent size for a tetra and would make a great addition to a larger tank assuming you’re getting a larger school of them. Trust me, you want a larger school. They’re super easy to care for and would really make your tank pop!

Time for another round of “Guess that fish”! This will be the easiest one so far, so I’m sure it won’t take long to find the winner!

Hey guys! I’ll be out today and tomorrow as Tara and I are at a trade show in Atlantic City which has been our “vacation” since we’ve started working on the store. Lonny and Steve will be holding down the fort for me, so be nice to them or I’ll beat you up when I get back 😊

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.

Adam Weimer is the first to guess the correct species! These are Moenkhausia copei also known as the redtail tetra. These are a nice sized tetra we got in at pretty much full grown size. Super hardy, very active, and extremely easy to care for! If you’re looking for a schooling fish for a larger tank, these would be one of my top picks! Check back next Thursday for the next species!

Alright guys, it’s Thursday which means we’ll be doing our second round of “Guess That Fish!” Please answer this one with a taxonomic name as the common name is pretty generic and can be used to describe more than one species. Remember, the first person to guess correctly will receive $5 store credit next time they’re in!
