Hey Indiana! I work at a small locally owned pet store (yes, they do still exist) called Martins Pet and Garden in Elkhart. We specialize in freshwater and saltwater tanks, reptiles, birds and small companion animals, along with a number of gardening and outdoor supplies. This is my shameless plug for the store :biggrin:.

I'll keep this thread updated with our current sales and let you guys know what we have in stock worth mentioning. Here's a few pics:



















If you're in the area, come stop by!

We got about 12 5"-6" Yellow Labs in today. They are already eating and are easily breeding size, so if you've ever wanted an easy-to-breed African cichlid, here's your chance!

We have pots of Cryptocoryne parva! They're going fast, so get some soon before they're gone!

We also have baby Panther Chameleons in stock now, 3 different varieties:
-Ambanja-
-Nosy Be-

(these aren't my pics, they're just to show the potential these chams have as adults)

Geez, I should probably check this more often. Marko, Day Geckos aren't a real good seller for us for some reason. We've had 3 different species in the past couple years and they all take quite a while for us to move. Too bad, cause I really like Phelsumas ;).

Bettas! We have lots of different morphs of Betta splendens right now!
-Veilfin
-Crowntail
-Plakat (Short Fin)
-Super Delta
-Cambodian Half-Moon
-Dragon Fantail
-Dragon Crowntail
-Females (only 1 at the moment)

We received one spectacular male last week (which was picked up by a friend of mine) that was a Red-and-Blue Dragon Super Delta Split Tail. Picture that, if you will.
