Shipments coming from Mexico (almost) weekly...

We've been swamped here @ Cortez Marine the last few weeks. Even with (almost) weekly shipments coming in from Mexico we're having a hard time keeping fish in stock.

Our next shipment is coming in Tuesday night and we'll sent out a stock report Wednesday morning to all of you on our email list. If you don't currently receive a stock report from us please email us and we'll add you. If you're local, we encourage you to come by and take an up close look beyond our stock report. We've been getting some really cool fish and inverts from Mexico.

New video & pictures of ~30 Yellowtail Surgeonfish @ Cortez Marine...

We've got a good amount of Yellowtail Surgeon (Prionurus punctatus) schooling in one of our 500 gallon holding tanks. These guys aren't seen very often due to the hard job of catching them. They are quick and require skilled net catchers to collect them safely.

The video is also available to view in the YouTube sidebar to the right of this blog.

Cool NEW critters from Mexico...

We've been so busy lately it's been hard to keep updated on all the cool stuff we're getting that flies out the door faster than we can take pictures of it. Here are a couple of cool starfish we're stocking in good numbers right now.

Cortez Marine Gallery...

Over the years we've caught dozens of rare fish, odd morphs, and taken some unique photos. We thought we should take some time to share them with you.
