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!

Do we have any customers that keep tiger barbs? This beautiful trio of green tiger barbs were brought to us because they were too rambunctious for the owners tank, so we want to make sure they go to a special and fitting environment. If anyone is interested you can stop by the shop anytime were open (1-7 Thursday thru Sunday) and we can work out a deal!

Here at the shop we’ve been keeping an eye on our Orange Rili Neocaridina shrimp tank because we had some berried mommas. About a week ago we started seeing teeny-tiny babies show up, and now they are big enough to catch on camera!

A customer claimed this gorgeous adult male guppy before I even realized he'd grown out to his adult color. Now I'm sad I didn't take the time to enjoy his antics while he was here! #fishterylfs #guppy #guppyfish
