Which is better: Shrimp or Piranhas?
We have a new rainbow assortment of shrimp including Crystal Red Shrimp – SSS Grade Mosura and Orange Sun Amano Shrimp. Although, since shrimp are bound to get lots of attention from their popularity, how can we not also showcase this this Manueli Piranha which can reach roughly 13″-14″ long in captivity, and this Geryi Piranha which gets around 12″ long? We are caught in a tie of which we love more.

New Hamsters 12/08/2023

New Hamsters 12/08/2023

Our baby black Syrian Hamsters are ready for new homes!

They’re playful, energetic, and will keep you entertained for hours. These little critters love to climb, explore, and have a blast on their exercise wheels. They all came from a massive litter of 10, in which mom will be available for adoption as well!

Three helpful tips for new owners:

1.) Tanks ARE better than small plastic cages. As a bare minimum, they should be provided a 20-long tank, although a 40-breeder is recommended for optimal health and lifespan.

2.) A hamster’s instinct is to burrow, so providing a few inches of substrate is vital for enrichment. Having a tall wire cage is not as good as having a deep bottom enclosure in which they can make tunnels.

3.) They are not aggressive, they are prey animals. Humans are giants and look like predators, therefore we are scary. Our tiny friends need to slowly be shown that they can trust us and that we won’t hurt them.

These fish have been so sought after lately, we can hardly keep them in stock! Their striking colors, small size, and friendly demeanor have made them the go-to fish for any aquarium enthusiast. Royal Grammas are also a great species to try out as well due to being fairly hardy and small tank requirements.
