Hello all,

A couple of announcements. First we will not be open until 2:30 tomorrow 10/28 because I have to work my real job for a little while.

Second and more exciting announcement is that Sunday and Monday we will have a Buy 2 get 1 Free Sale on all of our fish.

Come in and take advantage of this great sale.

If you have been thinking of coming in now is a great time.  We have a new brand of fish food that I brought it just because of my fishes reaction to the marine food.  

I was able to get some good sized samples so you should be able to get a few feedings out of it to try it out.  

The only catch is that you must purchase at least $10 of something from the store to receive a sample.  This is just because I have a very limited amount of the samples so I want to make sure my customers get an opportunity to get the samples.  

The brand of food is Sera.  It is a German Fish Food manufacturer that has been around for over 40 years and has highly specialized foods.  I would highly recommend coming in to get a chance to try it.

Springfield Oregon at 807 A St.  It is diagonally across from the downtown post office.  

I have no idea how I ended up posting in this thread as I thought I had clicked on a different one.  

What I believe are Carpenter's flasher wrasses are exquisite.  I am tempted to bring one of them home for my tank.  I will try to get some video of them tomorrow.  

These wrasses are amazing.  If you are looking for a fairy wrasse or a flasher wrasse you should really stop by.  They are quite amazing.  

We also got some really nice sailfin and naso tangs in, some pistol shrimps that I have gotten paired up with yellow watchman gobies, some sea hares for those of you experiencing algae issues, and much more.  

We have a lot of new fish and inverts coming in on Monday.  This includes 8 different wrasses, including what should be some stunning fairy wrasses.  We have 3 different varieties of pistol shrimp coming in and so much more.  

Come check it out.  

Tuesday or Wednesday I should also have some remarkable new marine food from Sera.  They are a German company and when the rep was in the store he demoed this food and the fish loved it.  I have never seen fish go after a food like this.  

We will post a video of the fish feeding when we get it.  

Thanks to everyone that voted.  The charity that will receive the donation from the month of September is the Returning Veterans Project.  

Here is a link to their website https://www.returningveterans.org/  

Please continue to come in on Wednesdays to support these great charities.  We still have one Wednesday left and I would love to exceed last months donation.  

We will also have new fish and invertebrates in on Monday so there will be lots of great new things for you to choose from.  

Sorry couldn't figure out how to post links from my phone.  Here are the links to the charities pages.

Thanks,

Thank you.  I think Fairy Wrasses are my new obsession.  They are just so pretty.  

Thanks for the pictures! That fairy wrasse is beautiful!

Yes I still have the Sea Hare and the one Camel Shrimp left.  I will put them aside for you.  

Do you still have sea hare and camels. Thinking I want them too...two camels in my tank makes it look empty. Oh the addition of a large aquarium the need to fill...

Yeah that was a new one for me as well.  I figured he must have been used to hunting crabs on the bottom underneath the sand or other stuff on the bottom.  

It was really cool to watch.  Of course I geek out about specialized fish behavior.  

Sorry about that.  I will take care of it.  

Will do.  Unfortunately they only shipped me 3 but I will be happy to save them for you.  

Thank you.  Unfortunately our nice camera broke so we have been relegated to cell phone pictures until we can get another.
