If you are setting up new tanks you won't want to miss out on our great deals on used sponge filters. Come see what else we will have with us.

The end of this month SCALES kicks off our fall fish swap and auction fall season. Get in the fishroom and gather your extra used equipment and fish or plants that you want to clear to make room to buy new species to work with this winter. Swaps are a great way to make some extra cash because you set the selling price and you keep all of the money! The S.C.A.L.E.S. club is very generous and have the lowest table rental prices around. Book your table now and come make some cash to buy new fish with. This is on Labor Day Weekend so most of you are off from work so make plans to stop out and buy new fish or restock your food supply. We will have a wide variety of sizes of fish bags so come stock up and get ready for the fall auction season. Share your hobby and encourage a friend to come with you. Let's make this annual swap a huge event.
You need to support ALL of the local fish clubs before it is too late. The members of the clubs work hard to put on these events so that other fish heads can enjoy buying directly from breeders saving money and buying some great fish. You don't have to be a member to attend but if you love your hobby join a few area clubs and get a chance to network with other fish keepers. Often times you will find new and rare fish at these events that you will never see in pet stores!

It is a beautiful sunny day, great day to sit outside in the sun. We absolutely despise suction cups so we built another holder for 3 Colbalt Egg Rockers. A little eggcrate, few zip ties and a little imagination so we never have a rolled over egg tumbler again! It was also time for the monthly cleaning of our regenerative air blower intake filters. Took advantage of the bright sun and hot van hood to dry them quicker. It takes forever to try them in the winter time when we have to use fans to dry them. Keeping 3 extra sets of these on hand makes it easy to swap them out for cleaning. The two fishrooms are run with two 1.1hp blowers running through two loops of 1 1/3" pvc pipe. We run well over 1,000 air drops off of this combined system. We started the day stripping cichlid fry from a few rift lake cichlids. There's always something to do when you have a small fish breeding hatchery with just over 500 tanks. Living the dream!!

This is our 100 gallon outdoor tub for the Melanotaenia preacox rainbowfish. If you look close you can see a swarm of different sizes of rainbows. We run two large sponge filters in the bottom and all the extra sponges were stashed in there to provide cover on the bottom and they work out as a food source as well. There 6 adults in the tub with a couple of spawning mops and every day or two we have new eggs. We usually take one mop of eggs back into the fishroom to hatch once a week and the rest we let hatch in the tub. We feed a little golden pearls 4 times a day plus crushed up flake food, otherwise they feed off the algae and micro fauna growing in the tub.

Shipped out a few boxes of fish on Monday. It's always nice hearing back from the customers that the fish arrived in excellent condition and they are very happy with them.
