Allen Repashy has released six new gel superfoods for fish, and they are all now available on TedsFishroom.  Two diets are intended for use in freshwater.  Morning Wood is a meal replacement designed for wood scrapers, and Redrum is the high carotenoid color enhancer food we have been asking for.  (Click on images for more specific information).

All has also released the first four marine diets:  Reef Hunter, Reef Prowler, Reef Scraper and Spawn & Grow – Saltwater.  Marine fish have different nutritional requirements than freshwater fish, and these diets have been produced to meet those needs.  Reef Scraper is truly unique in that it matches the diet of reef aufwuchs scrapers perfectly.  Moorish idols thrive on Reef Scraper!  Try is with any of the tangs or surgeon fish.  Spawn & Grow – Saltwater does for marine fish breeders what the freshwater version have proven to freshwater fish breeders:  condition breeders fast and effectively, grow fry faster, healthier ans with fewer losses.

All of these foods are available here:  Repashy Superfoods

I have changed how my list is posted in the Livestock section.  Trying to keep up with the tables has become a pain.  Now there is a link ot a downloadable PDF document price list.  I will use the space on the livestock page to post pictures of fish in stock and describe some of the highlights.

Weather is finally starting to warm up, so I think we can start 2nd Day AM shipments next week.  There are a lot of cool fish in the room right now…

I have a ton of fish and plants here that my wholesale accounts are not going to be able to take advantage of before the Holidays, and I leave town on Sunday for a week.  Plus, shipping is done until after the New Year…  HELP!!!!  I will host an open house on Friday (12:00PM – 9:00PM) and Saturday (10:00AM – 6:00PM) if anyone wants to come over, take a look at the fish room and take advantage of some steep open house discounts on livestock.  I will also put my stock of Repashy Superfoods on sale for the open house (pick up here only).  I will not be able to hold anything until after the holidays… the point is to try to move these fish and plants out before I am gone for a week.  If you think that you will be able to make it, send me an email and I will make sure you have the address/directions to get here.  On Saturday, the Madison Area Aquatic Hobbyists will also have a social get together in conjunction with the open house.  If you want to join us, please plan to bring a dessert/cookies to share.

Monster Aquaria Network (Monster Fish Keepers, Aquaria-Central and Aquarium-Photography) is a network of hobby forums that have been supporting the aquarium hobby since 2005.  The owner, Li Chih, has done more to support and promote aquarium keeping than most of us even think can be done.

As a reward for his effort, Monster Beverage Corp. has released its hounds (lawyers) on MAN with a cease and desist order requiring Li to abandon his sites’ name (Monster) and logo (a stylized capital ‘M’).  This is not the first time that Monster Beverage Corp. has sued a small entity.  The usual pattern is to keep suing and appealing rulings until the small company can no longer afford legal fees.  Monster Beverage Corp. is behaving in a way that gives U.S.A. big business a bad name.

Please support MAN by signing a petition to show Monster Beverage Corp. that their actions will have a negative effect on their reputation, and hopefully convince them that we can affect their bottom line.  Encourage everyone you know to sign the petition.  Even if your friends are not aquarium hobbyists, they should be disgusted by Monster Beverage Corp.’s bully tactics:
