The saltwater room is constantly changing with different residents. This week we want to show pictures of our favorite new and old fish. The best part about Saltwater Saturdays is seeing the joy on everyone’s faces while they look through all the tanks, although it never ceases to amaze us hearing the passion for this hobby from not only our employees but also all of you. A big thank you to everyone who supports us and continues to show us why we love what we do. If you are just interested in seeing this week’s new arrivals look on our website below, and hopefully your first Saturday of summer goes “swimmingly”.

Experts say it’s too early to start planting a garden, but there is never a bad time to add plants to your aquarium. We have lots of new plants (maybe too many), some new to Forest Lake Pets. Homlomena Sekadau South is a rare plant that looks like a Crypt but grows like Bucephalandra. Lagenandra Meeboldii Red is much the same with broad dark red leaves. If you’re looking for something with quicker growth, we’ve got you covered; Pogostemon, Parrot Feather and Rotala are great stem plants that keep on growing.
P.S. Don’t miss out on some great plant deals, just look for the Orange Tags!

It’s almost time for spring cleaning and shrimp are the perfect helpers! 🧹 A great choice would be Peppermint Shrimp as they help clean up nuisance Aiptasia anemones within your aquarium and accidental left over food. 🦐 The best part about shrimp or gobies is there is so many different kinds that make it possible to customize your tank to how you want it to look and function. We would also like to put out a final reminder on our huge clownfish sale that includes 30+ fish, and there is also a sale for hammer coral. 🔨 For the small list of this week’s arrivals check the categories below.

Looking to up your planted tank game? Try some of our new intermediate or advanced plants. Hygrophila Willow is a beautiful stem pant that grows and grows with full light green leaves. If you’re looking for something shorter check out Staurogyne Repens. This plant may be hard to pronounce but boy does it look good once it’s established in a tank.
