I hate to post bad news but here is the story and maybe others can learn from it. Long story short our boiler on demand hot water and home heating unit was leaking natural gas. We decided to replace it entirely vs trying to fix because it has had many failures over the 4 years since it was installed (true lemon). Sunday night I was feeding fish and cleaning tanks. I accidently left our auto water change system on when I came upstairs for the night. I've made this mistake in the past and all that happens is the fish get large water changes with no issues. This time however the newly installed heating unit was "smart" enough that calling for domestic water heat all night must be an error so it stopped heating. In the morning we awoke to 60 tanks hovering around 50 to 60 degrees water temp with freezing cold water still being added to the tanks. We jumped into action saving many tanks however we lost some very special fish. We probably won't be opening the website for some time... 😢

Pleased to offer for the first time our hobbyist bred and raised Millenium Rainbowfish! These are the full red rainbows. Hobbiest rainbows are very rare for a variety of reasons and dont come along often. They are about 3/4", some males are starting to color. Readily eating micro pellets and flake now. Local pickup only until Spring. Take care!

FYI we have paused online sales due to cold weather in Michigan. Unfortunately we can't control how the postal service handles our orders and no amount of temperature control precaution guarantees live arrival to our customers in the coldest months. Thank you for all the support and the October orders to help us finish out our 2022 season!

Our love for breeding and raising fish of all species is transformed into this channel where we focus on making videos that we think other aquarium hobbyists...

Just want to take the time, to Thank everyone for the online orders this past week! It really helps keep the lights on. I'm making time to record an updated fish basement tour video soon with updates on everything including the baby angelfish and rainbowfish. Orders will go out tomorrow (Monday). Cheers and Thank you! mymetafish.com

We are excited to reopen our store for the Spring and have started shipping again! We will be shipping each week as we see forecasts of three days in a row above freezing in our area. Joe and Kara Dismiss

Our latest project I'm super excited about. Millenium Rainbowfish fry. These guys are slow growers and won't be ready for 7 to 9 months but are stunning imo.

Anyone want a colony of NEOLAMPROLOGUS MULTIFASCIATUS, shoot me a message. My colony is getting a bit insane.

FYI: For some reason that I can't figure out, during the last month our website mymetafish.com has been the target of bots and denial of service attacks. They must think we are big business when we are just little fry. Over 700 accounts have been created among other issues. We have had to implement captcha and email verification to combat this. We may also have to mass delete account information that is not verified with a previous purchase, because it is taking up space that we are paying for. We want to reinforce that our website is as secure as anything in the industry so no worries. We look forward to continue serving you the healthiest and most beautiful freshwater fish! Thanks for your continued support!
