Just arrived: baby Sulcata Tortoises! Sale!
🐢 💲 🐢 🏡

Sulcata Tortoises AKA African Spur Thigh Tortoises make awesome, lifelong pets! Adults can weigh over 100lbs and have a lifespan of 70+ years. Although they can live indoors while young, they will thrive outdoors in Florida with a big backyard. Sulcatas are herbivores, and do a great job "mowing" your yard, eagerly consuming grasses and weeds. Stop by Bluewater Zoo to learn more about how to keep the amazing animals!

We are incredibly thrilled to celebrate a massive milestone for our daughter, Sabina! Through dedication and hard work in the dual enrollment program at Collegiate High School, she has officially graduated from high school with Summa Cum Laude honors and earned her Associate of Arts (AA) degree at the same time, and did it all a year early.

We started Bluewater Zoo (previously Niceville Pets) in 2010 when Sabina was an infant. For a while, it was just the three of us. Eventually, her little brother came along, and then employees. Whether helping with daily tasks like betta water changes, assisting with school field trip presentations, or simply entertaining her little brother, Sabina has been a vital part of BWZ since its inception.

Next month, she is heading to American University in Washington, D.C., to pursue her interest in International Relations.

Sabina, your commitment to your education inspires us every day and reminds us of why we do what we do. We are so grateful to be your parents and cannot wait to see where this next chapter takes you.

Please join us in wishing her the best of luck in D.C.!

Happy Monday everyone! In case you missed us over the weekend, we received another Czech Republic freshwater order. For those who don't know why we're always so excited about Czech, let me tell you that CZ is just different. Whereas domestic suppliers are about 80/20 wild to farm raised fish, CZ is primarily a collection of hobbyist bred pulled together by our supplier. They tend to be very particularly careful about keeping lines pure (no hybridizing of closely related species or localities). Prices are higher but the quality more than makes up for it. Now, we only order in what we think we have customer interest in, bare in mind. They focus heavily on dwarf cichlids, angels, killies, and unusual Tanganyika and Malawi cichlids. As always, please let us know if there's anything in particular you're looking for!

Highlights from our recent orders include...

Freshwater Fish:
*Sunburst Koi Angelfish
*Mega Red Apistogramma Cacatouides
*Opal Apistogramma Borelli
*Fire Red Apistogramma Agassizi
*Nichols' Mouthbrooder - a rare riverine cichlid from the Congo river basin rarely seen in the hobby.
*Hypsolebias Picturatus Killies
*Hjersseni A. Australe Killies
*Parva Rainbowfish - We rarely see these dwarf rainbows anymore. Sometimes called 'Sunset Dwarf Rainbows'
*Dwarf Sumatra Red Eye Puffers - got another batch for those who missed out on this wonderful, rare, and relatively friendly true freshwater dwarf puffer.
*South American Puffers - the other "friendly" true freshwater puffer. Finally back in stock!
*Striped Barbs - I think these would sell better as "Beetlejuice Barbs"
*Black Widow Frontosas - ooOOOooh
*Large Geophagus Jurupari - very nice size!
*Large Texas Cichlid - a common American cichlid that will always hold a special place in our hearts. Ask us why.
*Ruby Green Haplochromis Cichlids - a gorgeous African native to Lakes Kyoga and Nawampas in Uganda for folks looking for a less aggressive African cichlid tank.
*Pygmy Cory Catfish - too cute!
*Gold Pearl Gouramis - I'm actually not mad at these
*Starlight Bristlenose Pleco L-182 - google me
*Polka Dot Pleco L-201
*Electric Blue Jack Dempseys - restock!
*Pentazona Barbs - an underrated and very peaceful barb from Borneo. Would look perfect with some Chocolate gouramis (in stock) and black rasboras (also in stock)
*Rohan's Tear-Spot Barbs - one of the big guys, great for the slightly more boisterous tank, and at a great price too!
*Electric Blue Rams - one of the sexiest fish alive. It's a fact!
*Tank-raised Raccoon Tetras - one of the rarer tetras coming out of Brazil recently for the true collector. Get these along with the Blueberry, Imperial Lapis and Strawberry Lemon Tetras we have in stock.
*Red Tail Penguin Tetras - Everyone looks at our 90P display in the lobby and say "If you had those for sale, I'd buy them right now!" Well, now's your chance. So new they don't even have a species name yet.
