The board was looking for help from the club in deciding which vendor we would like to purchase from, for our upcoming July meeting as a group buy. This is a benefit for members to take advantage of free shipping as it will be covered by the club. We were deciding between the following options (but are open to others):

JEHMCO

SwissTropicals

BrineShrimpDirect

Back in December I posted that Nova Tropicals was closing their doors in the end of December. Nova Tropicals had started right during the covid pandemic in March 2020.

At our Spring auction, two weeks ago, Jae Mitchell informed me that a New fish store was having it grand opening that day. Stopped ny on the way home and sure enough.. a new tropical fish store has now opened.

Tropical Exotics, Mapledale Plaza, Dale city is now opened where Nova tropicals used to be.

Some of the employes from the old store are there now.

Stop by if you have a chance...always nice to see a new local fish store open up.
