I did it again...

[Donald Kerns]

Those four clown loaches looked so cute and lonesome there at the
store...

They're now aclimating into the Qtine tank. (Heaven help the small
snails that are in there now...)

Only three more weeks before they can join the rest!!!

Actually it is a bit better than that. After 8 months or so my wife is
allowing me to swap out a planted 30 gallon with a 55 gallon. It's
going to cost me rearranging the entire den (a bookcase currently
divides the den from the dining room. that bookcase will go where one
55 is now and the two 55s will replace the bookcase.)

My wife has even promised not to gripe about the cords/hoses etc.

Tee hee!

Wow, Donald!
Great job!
What did you have to do or promise to make it happen?
I have been trying to convince hubby to let me change out my 29g in the living
room for a 55g. He still won't budge after several years.

She REALLY REALLY doesn't like the bookcase where it is and several
friends of hers have convinced her that a wall of aquariums would look
better. (To which I whole heartedly agree... :-) )

I also pointed out that the SAEs and clown loaches are getting a bit big
for their 30 tank.

Plus I've been a really good boy for a while. ;-)
