While Hubby (other wise known as HE who must be obeyed
) is living it up at the Local races on a work junket, I will be putting my time to visiting a few of my local pet shops. He has already said "fine go to the pet shops but no more pets" he knows I am wanting some black gravel and possibly a new tank light. So I said "I wont get anything I don't already have", thankfully he only stipulated no more cats or dogs, so that really leaves a wide range of other potential pets
. Mainly I am hoping to get some more Khuli loaches, maybe a couple more Borneo Loaches (but the main pet shop doesn't always get them in), and or some more oto's but again the pet shop doesn't always have them, and also considering getting some more Emerald catfish and maybe a mid water school fish that can go in my other 4ft tank with a couple of Bristle noses, my group of sterbia and 1 male fighter,there is also some cherry shrimp in there but only around 7 I think because the fighter is very good at tracking down and eating the babies. I think if I can get any of these it should hold me over for a while on wanting any more fish. Unless of course the place in NSW tells me they finally have soem crystal red shrimp ready for sale.

. I was going to get another Borneo Sucker but 1 of them looked like it was developing white spot so I gave it a miss....I really don't need an outbreak of that even in a quarrentine tank
. And then it was on to another fish shop where I got 7 black neons they where only $4ea and all a good size so they are joining my fighter in his 4ft tank. The black neons I will probably get complaints about, but I will argue that I already have neon tetras so not a huge leap in the fish types department. I also asked the guy to try and get me some more lizard fish, as I really like them as well. I was extremely restrained and left the long nosed whip tails at the pet shop....but I was sorely tempted. I have to go back tomorrow any way for a light they couldn't find the price for.....ummm...hopefully the other half will still be in a good mood about all my winning horse racing tips and I can make room for the whip tails. They look fantastic.
