It's cool that you have a good fish store! Mine sucks, even petco and petsmart are better by far!
 
Yup my lfs sucks as well, the petco and petsmar. Are really close and better but selection is low
 
They are awesome. Always getting in interesting fish. Did I mention a cute guy works there? ;)
Lol my neice used to always want me to take her to jimmy johns and i was like uh ok finally my wife clued me in that my neice liked a guy that worked there. My lfs is run by a bunch of guys that look like meth heads and their tanks reflect it:(

Lol about the Jimmy johns
 
Black neons are my top favourite. Very polite with themselves and other tankmates. I keep neons too, my second favourite. The boys are little nippy turds with each other though.
I keep 6 black neons

I have skirt tetras as well, i like them but!!! Theyre aggressive only if kept in groups less than 6, or when the tank changes layout as they establish hierarchies, and keep more females than males. Theres also normal short finned, or the long fin. Ohhh and the glofish. I have one now left of those, husband brought 2 home when i asked for him to grab skirt tetras to increase our school lol they grew on me, they're not so bad out of the stupid glow light.

Plain in colour, maybe, but theyre actually very reflective and beautiful if you look at them close and keep them with enough of their own kind. Otherwise theyre psychotic. Kept proper after their hierarchy is settled, they sorta zen out very peacefully and only eat like little piranhas at feeding time.

My school is down during COVID, so i need to buy more when things reopen.

But heres my skirt school.

This is the boss, Whiskey, shes a big girl
