New Fish Friday is extra special this week, because it is all African fish! These arrivals include bichirs bigger than typically seen in stores, as well as Tigerfish and nano killifish.Check out the full list below!
Saltwater Saturday special feature: the Purple Queen Anthias! With these colors, the name is self-explanatory. 🙌 These fish can be finicky eaters, but the ones we have received are already eating frozen shrimp! If you ever get one that is being picky, with a start of copepods, live baby brine shrimp, and some patience a transition to frozen or pellet food is possible. They’ll be well worth the work! Full list of saltwater arrivals below.
Are you a LARGE or small pufferfish connoisseur? Puffers are some of our favorite fish, with their cute features (is it us or do some have puppy faces!?), quirky personalities, and of course that unique body shape. This week we received one of the world’s smallest puffers–the Dwarf Pea Puffer (~1.5″ max size)–as well as a larger but more medium size puffer, the Mekong River Puffer (~4″ max size). While Dwarf Pea Puffers tend to work in a community tank (albeit they can still be feisty), the Mekong River Puffer commonly needs to be housed alone. One of the best things about Pea Puffers? Watching them slurp up bloodworms like spaghetti! Comparatively, the bigger puffers are fun to watch chomp down on clam shells with their sharp beaks.

This week’s saltwater arrivals are electric! Literally. As can be seen below, the Electric Flame Scallop shoots bright blue-white electricity across its mantel, creating quite the light show. It is thought that this fascinating trait is to help draw in its primary food, plankton. It may also be used as a warning to predators. Full list of saltwater arrivals below.

Our freshwater arrivals are so excited about New Fish Friday, they laid eggs!Which one of these Cory Catfish do you think are the parents?Full list of arrivals below.
As shown here, some fish produce adhesive eggs that will stick to plant-life and rocks. This helps protect the eggs by keeping them in place, often in good hiding places!One of the biggest threats to eggs besides hungry tankmates? Fungus! Separating eggs from hungry tankmates and keeping pristine water conditions are two key components of fish egg care.
