Fish and inverts **updates**
 

will oceanic be stocking fish and inverts? will they be avail. on your website?

Hey Rick,

Actually, we are receiving a fish shipment tonight. Will post later what is available.

What sort of inverts is everyone looking for? Please let us know so we can gauge our ordering properly.

Thanks,

Paul

i'm thinking of nems. carpets.
snails, (something different)?
frog fish as well.

Hi Rick,

Well we just finished unpacking the fish order so I will have pics of the one's I think are a bit special as well, I'll post a list of the total fish that came in.

As always, they will be quarintined before selling.

Thanks,

Paul

Can't wait to see the list! :biggrin:

:behindsofa:

LOL Rick!

Paul, and the rest of us were at the new store until almost 1am last night and Paul has done a lot of late nights lately. I am sure he will get the list up shortly!

Thanks for your patience!

Ian

Pics of the new corals too please... I have a gift certificate burning a hole in my pocket and nothing to spend it on!:cry:

also looking for various cyphastrea frags

Hello,

Sorry I've been a bit absent replying to PM's and posts. I am under the gun to have the store up and running by the scheduled date and it is close.

@Rick, the fish have arrived and there are some very nice fish. I am quarintining them and prefer to wait till this weekend to post what's available.
Sorry, but I did not get any frogfish or anglers.

@Shelley, got some new corals coming in for the Grand Opening sale as well as new corals waiting to recover from being fragged. The Grand Opening will be a great time to use your GC as I'll have lots more inventory and selection then.

Sorry everyone for not being on here as often as I usually am. I'm just trying to get the store accomplished before Feb 14th.

Thanks for your understanding and I'll post pics and list ASAP.

Paul

Here is a little teaser of a couple fish we have received! An official post will be made for our fish inventory shortly!

Save that top one for me..Very nice!

We can save that one for you!

We received two of the biggest Borbonius Anthias any of us have ever seen! These things are almost big enough to go on the BBQ! :lol:

Hard to get a bearing on size by the picture but they are HUGE!

are they for sale? I'm afraid to ask actually.. the small ones are expensive..

Yes, the Anthias are for sale $275.00, they are bigger than the palm of your hand from wrist to fingers and fat too. :surprise:

Here are some other really cool little gems we will be offering!
Geometric Pygmy Hawk

Rarely available to aquarium hobbyists, the Plectranthias inermis, or Geometric Pygmy Hawkfish is colorful and animated. Scientifically, it is a closer relative to Anthias and Groupers than Hawkfish, but is associated with Hawks because of its overall shape and behavior. Though it will not eat corals, it may be seen resting on and moving from perch to perch. There is a perceived benefit to its perching and swimming over corals as it is thought to help facilitate water movement among the coral heads. It may bother extremely small shrimp and snails, so it should be introduced to a reef aquarium with caution. It will typically tolerate other Hawkfish, but should be kept away from other large Hawkfish as the Geometric Pygmy Hawk only grows to about 2" in length. Because of its size, it is a perfect fish for Nano aquariums.

Are the barboni eating? If so I may be interested in one for my display tank

When I was at the facility one was eating, Paul might be able to comment on the other one when he gets a chance.

Ian

Am I correct in assuming our gift certs are good for all livestock (fish, inverts and coral)? Anything but drygoods?

You bet!

Hey Shelley,

The Barbonis are huge and eating like they've been starved for weeks. They aren't though because we feed them daily. :wink:

One is a lot shyer then the other so if you want one, let me know which one you want. Greedy or Bashful.

Thanks,

Paul

I would want which ever is prettier.. more pinky.. is that Bashful or Greedy?

Shelley,

Here is another picture of one of the Blotched Anthias!

Here is a couple pictures of our Moorish Idols, all of the Moorish Idols are eating very well!

What is the price on the moorish idols? I have wanted one of those for ages.

These guys are beautiful.. but always look so grumpy. I shall call him Mr. Grumpy! How many incheswould you say he is? I'm not very good at converting Palm-to-finger into metric, sorry :-(

Without taking an official measurement, if my memory serves me correctly I would say they are at least 4-5" in length. Paul may correct me if I am out on my eyeballing skills.
