Fish Gatherer
So... Today I went out to my LFS to have a look at some hardscaping materials and plants... Wound up finding a lot more than that. Didn't get any decor from there, though... Far too expensive. £25 for a stripped piece of wood may have put me off.
But anyway, we had a look at the fish they had there and I started squealing out loud at their current stock. Black Venezuelan corydoras!! Only one of them, and a little expensive, so I'm going to keep in touch for when they get some more in. Now... Onto the main part of this: upside down catfish!! There were only two in the tank, so again I'm hoping to keep in touch with the owner for when they get another couple in, as I'd really like to keep a few more.
On top of this I got six female guppies in order to kick off my 54L guppy tank project.
The second half of the trip was heading to the Pets at Home chain, where we picked up a small 12L tank to eventually set up as a quarantine tank. Found some java moss and salvinia auriculata and decided that, since my duckweed order has been delayed by over a week now, I might as well go ahead and get it. So now I've more or less got the 54L tank set up.
Currently looks pretty scraggly, but I'm hoping that it'll wind up looking much nicer as time goes on...
For now, I'm quarantining the upside down catfish with the female guppies since I won't be able to get the proper quarantine tank set up until I get a heater for it.
Their names are Mr. Strange and Mr. Backwards! Don't ask which is which because I've already forgotten!
He's the tank right now. Again, quite scraggly but I feel like it'll eventually come together.
