Highlights of the newest arrivals are;

*We received a number of breeding stock of African cichlids most being young breeders coming up as replacements. So is quite female heavy on them. But a few very much oddball cichlids at great sizes and ratios

* Aru IV - Pseudomugil Gertrudae - a cool dwarf rainbow fish
* Wild red belly piranhas! (far more spunky than the domestics!)
* Black Venezuelan corys

We will be heading to our summer hours as of April 1st. Please take note as there are some big changes with the hours. With how much we are currently doing on the wholesale side of things it is necessary for us to move hours back to allow us to complete shipments before opening our doors to the public.

A reminder as well we do private appointments for orders of 300.00 or more. To book these just send us an email and we can find a mutual time that works for everyone. This you will get one on one time with one of us as well as full access!

Good evening,

New Items are listed in red on the list. You can view our latest stock list on our website.

Highlights of the newest arrivals are;

▪ The latest plant order has arrived. Included within are a number of nice varieties. The large loose Anubias are particularly of good size
▪ A ridiculous amount of Betta splendens varieties have arrived and are fantastic
▪ Siamese archer fish. Another cool archer fish that is full freshwater!
▪ Starlight eels at a great size!
▪ Black devil catfish. Lives up to all three of its names to the utmost! Last one I kept literally ate its heater on me!
▪ A number of nano fish species
▪ A cool Garra we have not had before in Garra panitvongi
▪ Nice condition T-Barbs

A quick update on state of life these days with tariffs. So far Canada has not retaliated on any of the livestock commodities within the aquarium hobby. I do suspect if things continue this will not be the case in the future. Other then Glofish most of the livestock have workarounds in other countries to work with.

On the dry goods side of things we are positioned well as we have long touted European and Canadian lines. The very few American products we do have we have no plans on restocking during this period of time.

We do feel for a lot of industries that will be heavily affected by the decisions of a few folks down south. But so far we are fairly well insulated from this and will move imports to other suppliers we have in other countries which will remain duty free. So some things may become sparse coming up, however also means some different and new things may come instead too!

Next up we are anticipating African cichlids to arrive next.

Any questions do not hesitate to ask!

We have survived the latest gathering of the DFO / Birthday event. A special thank you to all that attended and helped us pull it off and most importantly our guest speaker Mr. Jeff Cardwell.

I have greatly enjoyed throwing these birthday events over the last few years. Many of you have become over the years close personal friends and means the world to me to share my birthday with you. Now seeing the next one is a big one for me we are happy to have shot for the moon and got a yes from both for next year....

Seeing we have two "birders" coming to down I am certain the meal will feature birds heavily!

We are expecting African cichlids, rainbow fish and glofish to arrive next. The list may not be 100 percent accurate after this weekend's events but we will confirm any and all shipments prior to departure.

With the storm out east last week we are now expecting to resume shipments eastbound on Friday.

Good evening,

New Items are listed in red on the list. You can view our latest stock list on our website.

Our second busiest weekend of the year is here at last. We have loaded up for it and have the highest stock levels I do believe we have ever had with our expansion starting to take hold. We have received a half dozen imports recently, highlights of the newest arrivals are;

▪ A ridiculous amount of very cool varieties of endler's livebearers
▪ South American lung fish, from small to ridiculous sized!
▪ An unexpected bounty of Amazon puffer fish
▪ Nice sized splash tetras - Copella arnoldi
▪ The very cool tiger knife fish
▪ The true standard for what angelfish should be in Rio Nanay angelfish
▪ Nice sized flagtail prochilodus
▪ A wide array of Corydoras species which are a bit late for coming into season but appears they are now fully.
▪ Ornate pimelodella, by far the prettiest of all the Pimelodus
▪ Platysilurus mucosus - nasty sounding name but very cool catfish
▪ A wide array of domestic Betta splendens
▪ Bumble bee gobies that are fresh water tolerant
▪ Rosy loach - sorta the love child of a loach and a cherry barb! a cool dwarf loach species
▪ The very cool Pseudomugil gertrudae Aru IV rainbowfish
▪ The latest plant shipment as well is in stock

In short we are loaded up for this weekend's event. My annual birthday sale we are holding this Sunday 11-5PM. Immediately after which the gathering of the DFO will occur with our guest speaker Mr. Jeff Cardwell from Kokomo, Indiana. Who currently is hiding within my home hiding from the cold dark reality that is Winnipeg weather.

New Items are listed in red on the list. You can view our latest stock list on our website.

Highlights of the newest arrivals are;

▪ L76 - the orange seam pleco we see much less frequently then L106
▪ L183 - Whiteseam bristlenose.
▪ Nice sized L260 - queen arabesque plecos
A reminder we have changed the hours of the warehouse due to being a bit overwhelmed. I have added another hour to the Sunday hours to take note of since the last posting. But our walk in hours are now;

Tuesday - 12-5PM
Thursday - 12- 6PM
Saturday - 11-5PM
Sunday - 11-5PM

A reminder we do appointments outside of those hours for orders of 300.00 or more. So if you know you are going to spend at least that and want to have a private viewing of the warehouse you are encouraged to email us regarding that.

Next weekend is my annual birthday sale coupled with a DFO gathering on February 16th. This would be last call for tickets for those wanting to attend. Info is below. We are anticipating a number of orders to be in prior to the events next weekend.

A reminder too that if you do not like dogs and are visiting just to call us on arrival and can easily place the hounds in the second warehouse as we know some folks don't share our love of the hounds nor will we feel bad you asking for that!

Good evening,

New Items are listed in red on the list. You can view our latest stock list on our website.

We have had numerous new orders this past week arrive. Highlights of which are;

▪ A number of very nice peacock males in color from Lake Malawi
▪ Latest plant shipment is in, and is a number of very nice plants especially on large Anubias
▪ What probably will be the last round of Altum Angelfish as we are now into the no catch time of the year so is just whatever was left in the warehouses
▪ Tetragonopterus argenteus - say that fast three times. Or more simply dollar tetras. For those that like silver dollar looking things like me but do not want the large size
▪ Hemigrammus rubrostriatus - red stripe tetras. The most underrated of all the tetras in my opinion. Robust and very prominent fish.
▪ A couple of feather fins from Lake Tanganyika in boops and foai

Also we have changed the hours of the warehouse effective immediately. Due to our volume of shipments and in an attempt to not burn out the staff Monday, Wednesday and Fridays will now be for scheduled appointments only. If we are able to handle more retail hours we will add more in the future but at the moment we are a bit crushed on the wholesale and shipping side of things. So the main thing to note is for the time being we no longer have retail hours on Wednesdays. We will still have appointments available for orders over $300.

We are planning a wave of fish to arrive prior to the DFO gathering in our attempt to have the warehouse full for this event weekend. We have managed to figure out a bit more space so have still some slots for more. The main part of the meal has been figured out as well we will be featuring a taco bar and more at this event. (I like to say it has almost become more of a supper club who happen to really enjoy keeping fish!) More info is below.

A reminder in the busy season which we are currently in, I will do my best to update the stocklist on the website as often as I can. So it is always best to check it for more up to the moment updates as sometimes we can get busy and not send out these emails as often as I would like to. But I promise to do my best on updating the stock list with new arrivals as much as possible.

Merry Christmas,

FISHMAS 2024

For those of you within the Fishmas raffle draw for $100.00 gift cards I drew five names earlier today from the sign in list. I also was going to give $100.00 gift cards to everyone who shared my favourite fish I asked you for on the sign in sheet (Frontosa) of which there were none. So I then used my favourite number to pick a bonus one (10). For the winners of the draw you have been already emailed by me before this email. So if you got an email from me congratulations, if this is the only email you get from me... well Merry Christmas! :)

Fishmas still has three days left it will be running. Being December 26, 28 and 29 in the warehouse. And all orders shipped prior to January 1st will

also have the following...

▪ All shipments on Air Canada will have free shipping for orders over 600.00 before shipping and taxes.
▪ All plants on shipments will be 20% off
▪ Orders on Westjet will receive free box charges and heat packs for orders over 400.00 before shipping and taxes.
▪ All Sicce, Northfin, Eheim, Sera and JBL products will be 10% off. Many of their products we can send with fish orders as well.

With the coming new year we also will be raising box charges from 15.00 for single boxes to 20.00 and double boxes will rise from 25.00 to 32.50. Heat packs will rise from 1.50 to 2.00 as well. We have been attempting to hold down the costs as long as we could but the nose dive of the Canadian dollar this year really was the last straw of combating the rising costs of freight and supplies. We are for the time being holding our flat rate shipping of 50.00 for Air Canada, 70.00 for Westjet and Fedex (most locations). The new charges will start January 1st, so still a few days left to ship with the old rates.

We potentially have two new countries worth of fish on the horizon for 2025. So hopefully even more diversity to come to our lists of fish!

Wishing you and your family the best this holiday season! Don't forget to feed the fish, just not as much as you all are bound to eat these days :)

Tickets will be $30.00 and available now. We are limited as always for numbers so if you wish to go I do suggest getting earlier then later as this will sell out prior to the event.
