Many of you know that I have been waiting, not so patiently, for an order to arrive from Peru for a few months now. At long last, it has arrived! There are a TON of fish, many of which are completely new to me, and I am still figuring out the identification of a few. I have gotten restock of Otocinclus cocama, though not many, and also have Hypoptopoma sp. Peru orange again (the orange zebra). I am also SUPER pleased by a tiny little...

The amanos are around one inch and ready to go to their forever homes! I have a mix of juvenile and...

Between the stressors of Super Storm Sandy (luckily we were largely unaffected), the cold snap that followed, multiple fish related travels, and club meetings- I have been SWAMPED! Things have settled down, and I am ordering again. You may have noticed my stock list was a little slim. I am doing much to remedy this! First up, a new order from Peru. The first...

Please keep in mind, just because I order something it does not mean I will get it. Here is what is going to *hopefully* come in within the next 10 days: Otocinclus vittata Corydoras habrosus Boraras brigittae Yunnanilus cruciatus Yasuhikotakia sidhtimunki Hemigrammus bleheri Crystal red (a/s grade) Stiphodon percnopterygionus Atyoida pilipes (green lace fan filter shrimp) Caridina cf. babaulti “stripes” zebra shrimp Caridina cf....
