Hello all! - Hope you are having a fabulous week 😀This week we are wondering which fish are YOU? COMMENT down below which fish are YOU?🤔

DWARF GOURAMI 💛

LIKES: Warm slow moving waters, the middle of the tank and lots of plants!

DISLIKES: Cold fast moving water and bright lights !

If you are someone who prefers to stick the middle (In this case literally...) and likes to mostly chill out and enjoy a nice relaxing bath with warm water then you are a DWARF GOURAMI ! 😃

ANGEL FISH 💜

LIKES: Tall aquariums, gentle waters and driftwood!

DISLIKES: Overcrowding and sudden changes!

If you are someone who likes to have their space (but still loves their friends) and loves nature then you are an ANGEL FISH! 😀

NEON RAINBOW FISH 🩵

LIKES: Groups of 6 or more and clean well oxygenated water!

DISLIKES: Low water flow and small cramped tanks !

If you are someone who loves to chat loves to hang out with friends and can keep up with the current then you are a NEON RAINBOW FISH 😀

New plants in this week: pogostemon stellatus octopus, Brazilian pennywort, water wisteria, salvinia natans is the floating plant.
As you can see, the first three named are good midground or background plants.

Update: Hi Everyone, announcing that our store has been sold! We're excited about upcoming changes, but please be patient during the month of September while we complete turnover to a new management team.

As owners, we feel we have proven the concept that a Local Fish Store between Charlottesville and Richmond is wanted, needed and a place that engages a great community of aquarium keeping hobbyists.

This black ghost knife fish is naturally shy. When you come into the shop, try peering into his cave to see if you catch a glimpse of the white nose not quite peeking out.

This grouchy lady has earned a tank to herself. She even managed to show the same side to the camera in both these photos! We call her Oscar but her forever home can name her whatever you like.

He is "salty" that the crystalwort won't support him floating. He keeps falling through the green mat at the top, so he has to ham it up a different way!

See the jug on the right is a different color? I'm trying to start a green water tank from scratch, and it looks like it might be working! Green water is a live food option for very tiny nano fish, like wrigglers, or for other live fish foods, such as daphnia.

Now I know why this lovely white betta has an odd cast to his scales. He's turning blue!

We want to start putting more thought behind our columns of tanks here at the shop and get more creative with some themes for them. As you can see in the picture we have added some botanicals to column 7 for a black water theme, and we have ideas to do a highly aquascaped column. What are some other "themes" or "styles" of tanks we should try?? We have 9 columns so we need plenty of ideas!
