Ooh, I *like* clowns :-)

I put three clown loaches into my tank yesterday. Granted, the snail
problem wasn't a major one - but there's not a snail to be seen now!
Those critters are *efficient* LOL

And they are such characters - I can really see why people get hooked
on them. They've been having a thoroughly good time exploring all the
nooks and crannies in my tank - and you can *tell* they're having fun
just by watching them :-)

Now... as to the rest - who was it posted here a few weeks ago about
spotted blue-eyes? They are *pretty*! And guess what the store had
yesterday... so yep, we've a few of those in there too now.

As for the quarantine. Yes, well, hm, er... I planned to set up the
quarantine tank in the morning with the water and heater, let it run
through the day while I was out, then move the filter right before I
added the fish. And that would have been a great plan, if I'd been
able to find the tank! Turns out hubby stashed it on top of a
cupboard in the garage. At least now I know where it is, even if I
can't lift it down LOL

I could have put off going to the LFS, but eldest son was looking
forward to it (he'd been waiting patiently since November, remember),
and I really wanted to go on a weekday so I could take the time to
chat with the staff and look around plenty while they weren't busy.
Having done that, though, I'm not too worried about putting the fish
from there straight into my tank. Fingers crossed.
