It’s getting to be that time of year again when we worry about high temperatures. Here’s our usually post. Please feel free to forward or repost this.

I (Dan) just wanted to share with you what I do to help combat heat waves at my house.

1) Keep all of the windows open all night long to release hot air from the house and allow cool air in. I would run box fans and the bathroom vents to speed up the air exchange rate.

2) Each morning, around 6:30-7:00, I would turn off the bathroom vents and close all of the windows to trap the cool air inside and close the blinds on all of the windows that had them. I covered any windows without blinds (like skylights) with butcher paper. Newspaper or construction paper could work as well.

3) I filled both of my bath tubs with cold water and elevated a box fan to blow across each tub at full power. This accomplished two things: A) it kept the water in the tubs circulating so that new cool water was always interacting with the air and B) it moved the cooler air out of the bathroom. Circulating the water in the tub is important so that you avoid a layering effect with the surface warming up and then preventing the deeper water from absorbing heat from the air.

4) I used a third box fan and two smaller fans to move air throughout my house.

While this wasn’t a perfect cooling system, it can keep my house 10-20 degrees cooler that the outside (20 degrees in the bathrooms and 10 degrees in the living room and kitchen). Yes, parts of my house still get very hot, but that’s not as bad as outside. The cooler internal temperature also made it easier to cool the house further each night.

I had done something similar to this over 20 years ago with a single bed room and moved air across a sweater box filled with ice. It’s essentially a swamp cooler, but a lot less expensive.

After what I feel to be repeated success, I am confident enough to pass this information on for any and all of you to use. The heat we have seen in the past will probably be back and I want everyone to be able to handle it. Good luck.

We’ve recently brought in some new foods marketed for saltwater animals. These are made from great ingredients like krill, squid, copepods, rotifers, spirulina, and fish. The fishes and corals really respond well to them and they look great! If you’re looking for something nutritious and easy to use with your saltwater animals then these will provide good option. While we have not tried the pellets with freshwater animals, they should work well there too.

We received a batch of captive bred saltwater animals three weeks ago and still have a number of amazing choices. The top of the list is occupied by the green mandarins, spotted mandarins, and the scooter dragonettes that are ALL EATING PELLET FOOD!!! Yes, that’s correct! They are eating pellets and we are selling the pellets too. Yes, they will also eat frozen food, but the pellets are a balanced diet by themself. These animals are small and they will be a bit more expensive than wild caught individuals, but they will be way, way easier to care for. There weren’t many available from the breeder, so stock is very limited. Get them while you can!

Looks like we have a pair of parrot cichlids trying to spawn. They’ve dug a small nest on the left side and keep chasing everyone else away. These little monsters are about the size of a really large orange or a small grapefruit and could be yours for $39.98 each plus taxes. We are limited to stock on hand and will not be able to reload once they are gone.

Ok, today is our last push to try to sell the last of Coreen’s Brown Bear car wash tickets to help offset the cost of her trip to Washington DC. The trip was a success! Coreen learned quite a bit about US history and government and made a number of new friends from around the country. There are still a number of tickets left and even a single one would be a giant help. Thank you in advance.

If anyone is interested in trying their hand at Apistogramma cichlids then we have some nice selections for you. Shown here are the agassizi “fire gold” and the cacatuoides “orange”. We also have mcmasteri in stock. Apistogrammas are dwarf cichlids originating from South America and prove to be a fairly peaceful addition to quiet community tanks. They will usually stay smaller than 2-2.5 inches and like a small cave to lay eggs in. The parents exhibit good care for their young and The Fish Store is always interested in locally bred animals.

Coreen is off on her trip, so a big thanks goes out to everyone who helped her out by purchasing a Brown Bear Carwash ticket. Since she got a late start on her fundraising efforts, we are still selling tickets to help pay for the trip. Thank you in advance for your help here.

Swing by and check out this incredible collection of animals before we run out!!! Here’s our third photo selection.
