Can I have a drum roll for some Exotic Plecos!?




First of all most of you know how crazy I am for Plecostomus, Whiptail catfish and especially Corydoras species. The next few orders will reflect that passion.  It is the goal of Finatics to have some truly amazing and exotic fish for your enjoyment. Tonight’s order consists wholly of exotic Catfishes. The Chameleon Whiptails and the Zebra Plecostomus are two examples of fantastic fish you can keep in your aquarium.

Fish arrive 11:00 PST and will be for sale Friday am.

 2 each (Sturisoma festivum) Royal Farowella Catfish

2 each  (Pseudohemiodon apithanos) Chameleon Whiptail Catfish

Tweaking the hours

 
We are making a slight adjustment to the hours here at the shop.
We were closing early on Wednesdays because we attended a class Wednesday evenings.
We are no longer attending that class so the hours are adjusted to
Mondays through Fridays 10:00 am to 7:00 pm
And Saturdays were open from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm
We are closed on Sundays.

Finatics wants you - for Saturday duty!

Well, actually what we are looking for is someone who is “into” Tropical Fish! We are seeking an individual who is into keeping tropical freshwater fish, has a vast knowledge of the hobby and can catch and bag fish, assist customers, recommend products we sell, advise customers on the use of medications, compatibility of species etc,. If you are available for a long Saturday fish day, you are 100% reliable, can make it on time and without issues, we would like to talk to you! 
Bring your “Fish” related resume.

NO CALLS
Stop into the shop so I can see your smiling face!

We received a fish order on Saturday - Not a normal fish order day for us!



Before i list the order,  there are a few things that also occurred on Saturday:

Val Crismore, delivered two breeding (Proven) pair Of  NICE  German Blue Rams which are for sale (pairs).  Some very large male and female Guppies. 
She also delivered Amazon Frogbit too!  She also cleaned us out of a few things too!! Thanks Val :)

Justin Scott, delivered a nice plant order, There are some large Hygrohygrophila corymbosa, Some awesome Cryptocryne Wendtii Varieties, 
among others...

As i posted earlier here is the fish that arrived on Saturday:


Corydoras Panda
Congo  tetras
Rummy nose Tetras
Albino Rummy nose Tetras
Gardneri Killi (FEW)
Female Bettas (Some snake skins)
Croaking Gourami
Sepik River Rainbows (Glossolepis multisquamatus)


Maccullochi Rainbow
Gertrude's Rainbowfish ( A Nano rainbow)
Small - German Blue rams
Small Electric Blue Rams!!
Mexican Dwarf  CPO- Dwarf Orange Crayfish
Ember Tetras
Albino Neon Tetras ( Big Monsters)
Furcata Rainbows
3 Spot Micro Rasboras
We also received 5 types of small Apistogramma, but because of the stress and unmarked bags I cannot positively identify any of them right now.. I believe I see;  apistogramma  Hongsloi, Panduro, borellei and a small unknown nanocara?
They will be very interesting to identify once they are released from quarintine.
I am holding the majority of them until they color up. So, Apistogramma fans, come see them and help me identify them..

Corrections to special order;




Well there was a mixed bag when it comes to this order....
We did not receive the Japanese Rainbow Gobies, as expected, but, rather we received  stiphodon ornatus,  A Philippine  elegant Goby; One looking very close to the elegant Gobies we currently have in the shop.  Still very neat!

The two “Royal Farowella” are not Farowella; they are possibly:  Loricaria sp. “Rio Atabapo”, I am not sure and will have to research what they actually are.

(I should actually say what the “1” is as the other arrived DOA)


Crismore Cory’s ordered Corydoras C-51 which arrived great and looks as fantastic as we thought that they would!
The male Black Orchids and the ½ moon Twin tail Bettas are nice,  there are even a few White Bettas this time.

Fish available on Friday, barring any issues we see in the next two days… :)
