What’s new this month?

We’ve got decorations, helpful tools, and more!

With the sweltering heat, you may find your aquarium overheating. While it’s easy to heat an aquarium, cooling one is another issue. That’s why we’ve got the Zoo Med Aquarium Cooling fan! Are you struggling with your aquarium’s pH? Check out our new ornaments- they look great and will help buffer your water! We’ve also got some great news! Cyclo-peeze is back in stock! Forgot to get a fish-sitter for your last minute vacation? We’ve got a great automatic feeder for you. And don’t forget to check out our Fish of the Month- It may be one you’ve never even heard of.

Come check out our Orange Von Rio Tetras, a fish we highlighted back in January.

Looking for a fancy desk-top tank? Aqueon’s Betta Falls is a great new option.

Overheating can be a serious problem with aquariums, especially during the hot months of the year. Equipment such as lights, filters, and skimmers can create extra heat that drives up the temperature of the aquarium. Rather then invest in an expensive chiller, get Zoo Med’s Aqua Cool Aquarium Cooling Fan. This side-mounted fan has a multi-directional nozzle, allowing you to focus the fan towards hot aquarium lights or to direct it towards the surface of the water, to increase evaporative cooling.

These beautiful 5-7 inch dried barnacles will do more then decorate your tank. Ideal for cichlid tanks, this decoration will help raise the pH in freshwater aquarium. They also provide plenty of safe areas for cichlids to hide or lay eggs. These barnacles also make great decorations for reef or fish-only saltwater aquariums.

Cyclop-eeze is back! Hurry up and stock up while you can. This frozen food, ideal for corals and shrimp is often in short supply. Due to the difficult way that it is harvested, it is often in short supply. We’ve listed some other items that can serve as Cyclo-peeze substitutes before, but don’t waste your chance to get the real thing!

While on vacation, never worry about finding a fish-sitter again! The Fish Mate F-14 is an automatic fish feeder, perfect for every aquarium. This feeder can be mounted on a hood or on the edge of an aquarium, and one AA battery keeps it running up to 12 months. You can schedule the F-14 to feed up to four times a day, and it holds a maximum of 14 meals. This feeder is ideal for different textured foods, such as flake, pellet, and freeze dried. To create a more natural feeding environment, the F-14 will gradually release food over a two-hour period.

These predatory fish are a unique addition to a semi-aggressive aquarium. They love live brine, ghost shrimp, and black worms, as well as frozen Mysis and dried crickets. Native to the Congo, they grow to a maximum of size of about 7 inches. They are similar in temperament to cichlids, but shouldn’t be kept with fish much larger then them. They can also be kept in community tanks with larger fish, such as gouramis, silver dollars, plecos, and catfish. They are an ambush predator, and will often be seen lying in wait near plants or drift wood. Unlike many other unique aquarium fish, Spotted Leaf Fish are fairly hardy and can be kept by new or old aquarists alike.
