The Cichlid Shack

To all our friends and supporters, I hate to have to write this, but The Cichlid Shack is unfortunately closing down. It has been an amazing ride, and I appreciate all the support and memories you all have given us over the years. It was quite the ride, but it's time for a new chapter. We will be having a flash sale this coming Saturday, 9/23, and everything must go. Tanks, ponds, fish, equipment, and totes are all for sale. Come on by to say farewell and pick up some tanks and fish for screaming deals. I'll see you all around and may The Shack live on in your tanks.

All The Best,

James Largo

13 FISH, 3 DIFFERENT ORDERS, FOR 3 DIFFERENT CUSTOMERS AND GUESS HOW MANY WERE "IN HOUSE BRED AND RAISED" RIGHT HERE AT THE CICHLID SHACK BREEDING FACILITY???? ALL 13 WERE AND THAT MAKES ME SO PROUD.....UNFORTUNATELY THESE WILL BE THE LAST 3 UPS SHIPMENTS LEAVING FROM THE SHACK BREEDING FACILITY. THIS IS AN ANNOUNCEMENT I NEVER THOUGHT I'D BE MAKING EVER, BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO CLOSE DOWN THE BREEDING FACILITY AND RETAIL SHOP. I WILL BE GOING BACK TO A GARAGE SET UP AT MY HOME LIKE I HAD WHEN I FIRST STARTED OVER A DECADE AGO. I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO THE WHY AND WHAT HAPPENED AS I'M ALREADY SEVERELY DEPRESSED AND OVERWORKED OVER THIS. THE BREEDING FACILITY WAS MY DREAM, MY BABY AND INVESTED EVERYTHING I HAD IN MY LIFE INTO IT AND IT SICKENS ME THAT AS OF THIS PAST FRIDAY, I WAS ALREADY BREAKING IT DOWN. WITH THIS COMES A BUNCH OF GOODIES. I CAN'T POSSIBLE FIT 4000 SF OF STUFF INTO MY GARAGE AND HOME, SO MY LOSS CAN BE YOUR GAIN. STARTING TODAY EVERYTHING MUST GO, I'VE LISTED 85% OF MY BREEDING COLONIES ON THE WEBSITE ALREADY AND NO MY PHOENIX GROUP ISN'T ONE OF THEM SO PLEASE DON'T ASK. I'VE BROKEN MY GROUPS DOWN INTO SMALLER MULTIPLE GROUPS AS MOST PEOPLE DON'T WANT OR NEED COLONIES THE SIZE I HAVE. IF INTERESTED IN THE ENTIRE GROUP OF ANYTHING ASK I WILL GIVE DISCOUNTS FOR ENTIRE GROUPS. PLEASE DON'T INSULT ME WITH LOW BALL OFFERS AS I ALREADY AM LISTING THEM FOR MUCH LESS THAN THEIR WORTH. I'M ANGRY AND DEPRESSED ALREADY, SO PLEASE DON'T ADD TO THAT. I'M LOSING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS BETWEEN CLOSING MY RETAIL SHOP AND NOW THE BREEDING FACILITY. GOING ON 50 HERE SOON AND STARTING FROM SCRATCH IN A WHOLE IS..... ANYWAY,I DON'T EVEN HAVE WORDS WITHOUT THE TEARS, SO I'M SORRY. I WILL LIST THE GROUPS AS WELL AS AQUARIUMS, TOTES, AUTO FEEDERS AND MUCH MORE AVAILABLE FOR SALE. THIS WEEKEND WILL BE THE ONLY WEEKEND I'M GUESSING. I DON'T THINK MY PROPERTY MANAGER WILL LET ME STAY MUCH LONGER.
