Many of our customers love and swear by our with the easy flow air collars!
But there have been 2 small complaints about them from some users.
1 - the green can be kinda bright and obnoxious in an aquarium.
2 - the sponges are very coarse and small baby pleocs can get stuck in them.

Well I’m really happy to say that listened to its followers and they released these awesome fine filter sponges and they also now come in a sleek black and clear upflow kit!!!

These fine filter sponges are perfect for nano tanks and breeding tanks where your concern is small fry getting stuck in the coarse sponges! Not only that, you now have the option for green or black upflow tubes!!!

These new sponges are NOW IN STOCK and are the same price as the coarse sponge green kits!

Today MAY 18th, Kenilworth will have their annual street fair! During this fair the Blouevard in front of the store is shut down. If you want to take a trip out to us today, we recommend turning onto Michigan Ave off the Blvd., then making a turn onto Monroe Ave. This will put you a block behind the store.
You can then come up 21st street and pull into the parking lot behind the store or you can park on Monroe Ave. and walk up the block to the store as well.
A lot of customers seem to enjoy the annual fair in Kenilworth and incorporate it into their trip to PicKFish Pets! We hope to see you today!!!

So if you’re free Saturday come check out your first NJAS monthly meeting! There will also be an auction at the end of my talk as well! Always a lot of good stuff for cheap! Come see what all the fun is about at NJAS!
