Hey guys! We just had a Toys For Tots box get dropped off and we really want to see this thing get filled up! From now until December 5th, if you bring a new, unwrapped toy in for a donation, you’ll get 5% off your purchase! Before anyone asks, no, the discount doesn’t stack if you bring in more than one toy at a time, but you can definitely donate more than once and get that discount every time!

Are any of you guys currently battling cyanobacteria (blue green algae)? I have a lizard loach in stock right now that supposedly eats it and I’d really like to test this out. Also, if there are any loach experts that follow me, I’m hoping you could tell me exactly what these are. They get exported as Homaloptera sp. “Vietnam”, but I don’t believe they are actually a Homaloptera. I’ve seen them listed on one retailer site as Pseudohomaloptera cf. sexmaculata and I also found an Amazonas article from 11 years ago that has them as Annamia cf. normani.

If you’ve recently gotten your hands on some Aquarium Co-Op plant weights and it doesn’t seem like they’re doing as good of a job, you’re not crazy. The new order we just got are significantly lighter, almost half the weight actually. The first picture is the last pack we have on the shelf from a previous order and the second pack was just pulled from the box that came today. Like the brine shrimp eggs, retail stores are no longer receiving wholesale pricing on these, so we have to charge more for them now which is my fault as I didn’t notice this when I placed the order. Otherwise, I would have got them from somewhere else. I just wanted you guys to be aware so it wasn’t a total shock when you come in for them and you saw the price increase and quality decrease.

No new fish yesterday so we decided to take Clover Mae over to Perrydell Farm Dairy to see the “puppies” as she kept calling them. We only have one species on special this week, but there’s enough of them to fill 18 tanks so there’s plenty of variety to choose from!

Late night post of appreciation! Tara and I were woken up to banging at our front door and a light shining in through our bedroom window. It took a few seconds to realize it was the police so we went downstairs and we were met at the front door by an officer from Conewago Township Police Department. He asked if I was Blake and the owner of Fish & Friends. Naturally my mind immediately goes to “the store’s on fire”, so I nervously confirmed who I was. He proceeds to tell me that he got a call from an officer at Penn Township Police Department that one of our back doors was unlocked. I head out to the store and find two police vehicles by my back door waiting for me. The one officer walks with me to the door and tells me that they didn’t have any contact information for me in their system so he actually tracked me down through Facebook and then they were able to use my name to find our address in their system. It’s very reassuring to know that the officers in Penn Township are making it a point to look after the businesses in their jurisdiction. There’s been several occasions where we’ll have a late night fish shipment and there will be an officer parked in the parking lot just keeping a presence in the Grandview Plaza. To now learn that they are not only checking our doors to make sure they’re locked, but then are willing to go out of their way to track down a business owner so they can come out and secure their business is truly amazing. I unfortunately didn’t get either officer’s name, but I just want to say thank you so much for caring about the businesses in our community! We appreciate you!!!

I’m not normally a fan of column style tanks, but this Seapora 74 gallon tower may have just changed my mind! Sitting at 24”x24”x30”, there’s a lot of cool possibilities you can do! I think I would make it into a paludarium and Tara said she would do mbuna with a rock wall in the middle. What would you do with this tank?

We’ve got three of these beautiful Anubias barteri “Broad White” tissue cultures in stock, each containing four decent sized plants! This isn’t your typical beginner Anubias like most of the others as this specific variant will want higher light and CO2 to keep that stunning white coloration and prevent it from melting. Come get them while you can!

I know pond season is basically over, but if anyone wants some gigantic water lettuce and/or hyacinths, come see me! The woman who dropped them off said she has some hyacinth growing very well indoors and I know several of you have been setting up indoor ponds.
