I’ll be available to pop over to the shop Sunday/Monday ON CALL. If you wanted to take a trip to Minto but were unable to make it today, please call or text 506-230-9446 to make arrangements and I’d be happy to stop by to open. Next week I will be continuing to tear down the store and will be packing up any remaining inventory after Wednesday.

*YOU HAVE UNTIL WEDNESDAY TO VISIT THE SHOP FOR THE LAST TIME!!!*

Tomorrow is my last Saturday at the shop. We still have a good selection of discounted products and tank setups available. I’ll be there 12-5! Stop by to see what great deals you can grab before the doors close permanently.

All that remains for livestock is assassin and mystery snails, which will be coming home with me by the end of tomorrow if any remain.

Thank you again everyone for all the kind messages and well wishes for my future. You all have made this business a great success for the last 5 years. I’m sad to say goodbye to you all, but look forward to taking the summer off to be with my children and onto greater things from there.

Last 55 gallon available. Includes two cycled sponge filters, new package of airline tubing, heater. Need an air pump to run sponges and lid/lights if you want them. Ready to be up and running instantly. Post will be removed when it’s gone. Take it as you see it in the photo. Lots of other tanks remain, but since this one is in high demand the first one to pay for it and pick it up gets it.

As of today there is officially 10 days until our final closing date.

What’s going on in the shop:

- All retail items have been marked down, lowest sticker price and no tax.

- All tanks are available ranging from 2.5-55 gallons. Various conditions/price ranges. More tanks are being pulled out of storage every day. Some are full setups (only requiring air pumps for sponge filters as I ran one large commercial one in the shop), some are bare tanks. Aquariums that I don’t have the time to scrape clean/aren’t in the best condition are marked down as low as $1/gal.

- Many products have been bundled together into packages at an even lowered cost than buying individual discounted items.

- EVERYTHING IS FIRST COME FIRST SERVED - I am not in a position to be holding unpaid items for people to not show up and missing out on opportunities to sell said items to people inquiring in store. Exceptions can be made if things are prepaid/pick up times are confirmed. Thank you for understanding this.

- I may be in/out of the shop throughout the week briefly to move things out to my house down the road. I’ll have a sign up to please call/text 506-230-9446 or message the fb page to notify me that you’re on your way/there waiting for me if I’m not downstairs so I can return to serve you.

- More photos of what’s available to come. I will be announcing a last date for customers to visit, as I have to be vacant from the building May 31st and the shelving units etc. need to be torn down by then. Anything that doesn’t sell by that date will be coming home with me and sold online.

We’ve made our closing sale even better with value packs! Discount applies to the lowest sticker price for the combination of products.

Currently in the process of cleaning/tear down of the aquarium setups to be sold off. I’ll try my best to get them posted however, if they sell in store before I get a chance to post them here they’re first come first served.

Thank you again, everyone. It has been touching to hear your goodbyes and well wishes coming to visit the store for the last time. I’ll truly miss being part of our fish keeping community.

I’ll be at the shop 11am-5:30pm tomorrow!

I am announcing the closure of Some-Fin Tropical effective May 31st (or until all inventory/supplies have been sold).

I want to express my deepest gratitude to my loyal customers, friends, and community for your support over the years. I am proud of the memories we've made and the relationships built, and I will always cherish the time spent at the store. It has been an honour to serve you.

What this means for you:
- The store will remain open until May 31st to allow you to shop remaining inventory, otherwise another announcement will be made if all has been sold before that date.
-All sales for remaining livestock will be in-store only, first come first served. There may be a final delivery date in Fredericton for dried goods if there is enough demand. Livestock availability will be posted/updated and the website will be shut down in the near future.
- All sales will be final, and we will not be accepting returns or exchanges.
- Gift certificates will be honored until May 31st or until inventory/supplies have been sold.

Business has been great thanks to you, but it’s a 24/7 job. I need to dedicate more time to what really matters, who are my children.

Sincerely,

Brandy Walker

Thank you to all of my customers both old and new for your continuous support for my small business. I’m saddened to have to say that when you STEAL from a small business, you are TAKING these things away from people who put so much effort, passion, countless hours and most of all love into their products and services in order to serve you.

There’s a nasty flu going around that has unfortunately struck in our household. I will be out today, possibly tomorrow also if I’m not feeling better by then as I wouldn’t want to pass this onto anyone.

I’ll post an update tomorrow stating whether I’ll be in the shop. Thank you for understanding.

After much consideration, I have decided to close the shop on December 24th and return Tuesday, January 2nd to take some time to enjoy the holidays with my children. It has been a long year for everyone, and a break to reset is much needed. Thank you to everyone that has supported the store throughout 2023 and years prior. I look forward to serving you again in the new year!

*in the case of an emergency, I can come in with arrangements made prior. Please text/call the store phone and I will do my best to accommodate 506-230-9446.

*update* the internet seems to be coming back in/out. I’ve successfully rang through a few debit transactions, but best to have cash or able to e-transfer (with confirmation #) as a back up option.

‼️‼️‼️BRING CASH‼️‼️‼️
Unfortunately we are one of the many people affected by Roger’s services being down due to an apparent copper theft - our internet is not running, we are unable to access our systems, and there is no estimated time for restoration.

We may end up having to close for the day. I am going in to assess the situation and will post an update to advise what we will be doing.

If you’re travelling in from Fredericton, be sure to please call ahead. Our phone is with another provider, so that is working.

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to mention that we are coming to the end of our supply of plastic retail bags and will be doing our part to reduce our carbon footprint by eliminating retail bags in general. I have some boxes set aside to send things out the door with, but I am limited on space in the shop to store boxes for everyone to use. Please start practicing bringing your own boxes/bags when you visit the store!

Since the question was asked, yes, we will always have plastic bags to pack the livestock with as eliminating those is not possible for us to do. You’re welcomed to bring your own buckets/containers for fish rather than them being packed in plastic bags.

Thank you!
Brandy

This spotted Raphael and baby Black Ghost Knife have been sharing this cave together for a while (although they have lots of options for hiding spots and the Raphael has friends of the same species in here) these buddies are too cute together! 🥰

Banjo catfish are masters of disguise! Came out for a quick bite to eat and back into the sand. This is a good example of the importance of proper substrates for certain species, especially bottom dwellers. These guys wouldn’t be as happy on gravel, as they wouldn’t be able to display their natural behaviours burying in the sand.
