Yeahh, that's what's up.

So today, I was planning to get a new tank, a 40 gallon long, from someone off Craig'sList. We even set a time and how to transport the fish that came with it. But then my dad decided it would just be cheaper to ditch the bichir. So I bagged him up, which went smoother than I expected, and took him and the last of his feeders over to the Aquarium Store. We told them about his murderous ways, and they put him in a tank with two medium-sized Jack Dempsey fish.

With the $25 gift card from the raffle last week, I got two knight gobies and a tiger barb to replace the last one that was eaten. The gobies were in brackish water, but I added a bit more salt to my tank, acclimated them slower than other fish, and they seem to be doing alright. I just hope they like frozen foods. They're very pretty, and their eyes are a deep blue and gold.

After dinner, my dad and I went to PetsMart to get some crickets for Maxwell, and I picked out a rubber-lip pleco. All the ones at the store were emaciated, so I bought a small cucumber at the grocery store on the way home. Within five minutes of him being in my tank, he cleaned all the brown algae off a rock. If he doesn't want the cucumber, I'm sure the tiger barbs would be more than happy to eat it.
