Well that sucks

The Aquarium Store called me two weeks ago Monday and said they were going out of business - everything reduced to 50% off. So I went there and got three Leopard Ctenompoma for only $10 and a new heater for the 55 (the old ones finally stopped working) for $20. I went back that Saturday, which was their last day open, and got two Sailfin Mollies (both male), four Lyretail Mollies (two male, two female), five Flame Tetras, a Clown Pleco, and a Marineland Magnum 350 canister filter for $140. It was a reallyyyy good deal.

The filter came with a bunch of media for the first "run-through" (idk) until it needs cleaned. It came with a bio-wheel type of thing that removes little particle from the water. The new filter has already cleared all the tannins from the water, so it's super clear and looks soooo much better now. One of the tetras has already died, but everything else is going great.

Two of the three baby catfish are still alive, but one of them has just one eye. I would cull it, the friend who wanted them when they hatched doesn't mind it only having one eye. And it's my very first batch of fry, so I just can't kill it anyway. The mollies I got are too fast for me to get a good picture of them, but I promise to have one sooon.
