He said yes.

YAY!!!!
lol. I would have thought the same thing if i wasn't friends with you.

If y'all are thinking this was an answer to a proposal, nah this is more important.

My husband said yes to upgrading tanks!

hhhm. I beg to differ but what ever suits you......

Now that's monumental!!!

You should keep at least one of the tanks for quarantine purposes.

Already got one for that ahead of your great advice there.



Scraping salt off the tank, it was a salt set up. Lugged it up a flight of stairs to my second floor apartment. Cut my hand 3 times so far.

Uh oh. Poor hand is getting all cut up for the sake of a fish tank

This was an adventure.

Now gotta do the hardscape, drain the OTHER 20g and then fill the substrate.

Then the plants, then fill. Then add the fish

Exciting? Is the tank okay to be hanging over the edge a little?

Its just a tiny bit, but I'm working on adding something to ease that

THIS KILLED ME.

5 bandages needed. All my muscles kill from lugging this thing up a flight of stairs, down my hallway, into the shower, out of the shower, onto the bed, and then onto the dresser.

The fish are a bit shell shocked at the sudden space, and change, but they're flying all over the whole length of it, they're definitely appreciating the room.

And lookie what just arrived in the mail! Getting him acclimated in a container of his shipping water, adding a bit of tank water over time.

Hoplosternum punctatum, a smaller hoplo catfish, growing to about 3 inches. He's sooooo cute, way cuter in person than in photos. I've wanted a hoplo for some time now, and this guy was smaller than the other hoplo species thats more common.

I'm in love! My 5 year old named him Urchin

 

[CassCats]

Ughhhhhh he's too cute

 

[JuiceBox52]

Hes so cool! Now I have to think about getting one for myself.....fish addiction is dangerous
