Heather - So according to Eric, we got a pretty darn good fish delivery this week.
We actually got in a lot of the special stuff we wanted.
Just a couple of bettas though.
And they're all marked! Look at that!
All right, first up on the bettas is the beautiful half moon.
I kinda like this one. It's like half silver half red.
Eleazar - Wow!
Heather - Got an extra half moon white butterfly. Lovely. Everybody likes butterflies.
What kind is this? A delta... Eric - Super Delta Dumbo.
Heather - *gasp* It's a different color!
It's a miracle!
*Halleluiah* sound byte
Oh no, the dragon's eating him! Oh no!
No, I'm just kidding.
Which one is that?
Eric - A half moon dumbo.
Heather - A half moon dumbo.
Hi!
I love the dumbos. They're so pretty!
Did you get any cool colors of cichlids?
- There's some aceis in there. Those are about the coolest. I do know... looked like there was a
kenyi or a lab in there. He was a little faded out at the time, and I didn't get a good close look.
Heather - I'm not familiar with all those different types of
cichlids.
I just know them as the "blue one" or the "blue and orange one" or "blue and yellow one".
(laughing) I'm bad.
Yeah, like those that you just put in, a blue and yellow one.
Eric - Yeah, this is a kenyi, it looks like.
Heather - Ken... Kenyi.
That's a... that's a very yellow one.
- When it first came in, I thought it might have been a female labidochromis,
but I didn't get a good look, and...
Heather - Mhm. Eric - I've seen all yellow, but it's getting its
dots... or not its dots. Its stripes!
Kinda like Tony the Tiger, its earning its stripes.
*both laugh*
Heather - (Tony the Tiger voice) Theeeeey're great!
Yeah, I like the blue and yellow ones. Which ones are those?
Eric - Those are the aceis.
Heather - Ace... Aceis.
Eric - So this is gonna be... got in a group of scarlet badis and pygmy cories, so
Heather - We've been out of pygmy cories?
- Yeah.
Heather - Ohhhh.
- They can be a pain to get some days.
Heather - That's no good.
Angelfish, stop chasing them!
It's not food!
Eric - Fish are friends, not food.
Heather - Yeah.
- They just see all these tiny little things and they're like "Oh..."
Heather - "Food! Food! Eric - "Friends!"
Heather - Not friends. They want to eat them. Eric - "Friend? Friend? Friend?"
Heather - Oh, here... here we go again. *laughs* Eric - "Friend? Friend? Friend?"
Heather - There's the little pygmy cories down there. They're so small!
So cute!
And then the scarlet badis. It looks like they're hanging out over there.
Oh! *laughs*
- All right, these are the green neons.
Heather - Have we had those in a while or no?
- No, they're very few and far between.
Heather - Oooh! Eric - They don't become available very often.
Heather - They look so cool. I love them!
Oh, look how big they are! They're... they just look so much bigger than the other neons.
Ooh, it's a chunky royal plecostamus!
Oh man!
Oh yeah, he looks great!
Oh, he's gonna show off that belly!
So these are the synodontis petricola. I thought we had gotten these in.
Eric - We have. We just haven't gotten any new ones in a while so...
Heather - Ah, okay!
I like those. They're cute.
They're little catfish.
Over here,
I think you might have recorded these when I got them in last week.
The fire red apistogrammas.
Heather - I thought they were called Agassizi.
- They are. They're Apistogramma agassizi.
Heather - Agassizi.
Eric - Something like that. I don't know. I'm not good with that name.
Heather - Which fish are they? I can't tell.
Eric - You'll know when you see it. He's back there in the back.
Here's a nice one coming in, so...
Heather - Oh... ah, okay.
Eric - Yep.
Heather - He doesn't look very fire red right now.
Eric - Yeah, they're young.
Heather - Oh, okay.
Eric - So... and he's definitely stressed out.
Heather - Aw, poor buddy!
Eric - Then over here...
Heather - I mean, I can see the pink, the red on the fins that'll eventually color out real nice.
- Then over here, I have same species, but different color morph. There are the double reds.
Heather - Double reds. Okay, I'm exc---
Eric - So these don't have that gold coloration to them.
Heather - Okay.
Oooh, I see. Yeah. Oh, nice!
I don't think we've... have we ever gotten those in?
Eric - It's been a very very very very long time.
We tried them at one point, and... Heather - They didn't do...
- The price point was just really high.
Heather - Yeah. Eric - So not a lot of people went after them.
Heather - Yeah. Eric - But now that we have the people who
actually know what they are, it works out a little bit better.
Heather - Yeah.
Now that one isn't as colorful.
Eric - No, it's still pretty young. We used to get them in and
when we were getting them in, they were about half that size.
Heather - Oh wow! Eric - That's kinda why I stopped.
Heather - Wow, yeah.
Eric - But I had tons of people asking so...
Heather - Give them what they ask for!
- Yup.
- Got some electric blue ram--- or not rams. Electric Blue Jacks.
Heather - Jack Dempseys, yeah.
Eric - Another one that I haven't really ordered in in a while, but... some polypterus senegalus albinos.
Heather - Oh yeah, I think we've just had the regular ones.
Eric - Well, I had an albino down here. He was just really hidden, and...
Heather - Yeah. Eric - ...he finally sold so...
Heather - Yeah.
- Now, got the bag of green terror.
Heather - Ohhhh scary!
Do they earn their name?
Eric - No, I don't think they're that aggressive, but...
Heather - (laughing) Oh...with a name like that...
- These, I don't know why they've been so hard to get but, bleeding heart tetras.
Heather - Oh! Wow, yeah. I haven't heard that in a long time, yeah.
Eric - And I got in a nice school of them, so...
Heather - Oh wow! That is a lot of them!
