Freshwater Friday 05/12/23

Another dawn, another day, another amazing morning to play with the fish! We have some new Oranda Goldfish, which are typically docile and all around carefree. Oranda’s are generally popular due to their unique bumpy hood, long life expectancy of around 15 years, and beautiful flowing fins. Not to mention, we also have Assorted Ranchus, which are kind of like an Oranda but with no dorsal fin and they tend to take the shape of a cute golf ball with tiny fins. Look at our website below for the list of this week’s freshwater arrivals.

A few popular picks are back in stock, one of which is Pom Pom Crabs. 🦀 These crustaceans clip off parts of anemones which are then used for gathering food and warding off potential predators. 🐙 There are also a few more Tiger Pistol Shrimp and Gobies, which you can never have enough of. However nothing can compare to how cute it was to watch the Frilly Sea Hare lick the tank wall with his itty bitty radula ( basically a tongue made out of tiny teeth👅) and do what looked to be slow spin-outs on the glass. 🏎 As always, the whole list of newest arrivals is below.

There are only three known species of Angels: Pterophyllum scalare, Pterophyllum altum, and Pterophyllum leopoldi. Check out our list below for all this week’s newest arrivals. 🦈

New plants! 04/13/23

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!
