Today we had grand plans that went predictably awry. We went to Goodwill to look for a fish tank (as if I need anymore!) and to find some pants for Goose as her existing ones are now way too big. We found pants, but no suitable tanks. We fed Lucy and went home. We were going to go hit up the swap meet but that didn't happen. The tiger barbs were fighting because the school is too small (you've got to have a big school to keep down the aggression) and one of them jumped out of the tank. So we decided to head out to the store to pick up some more.
We went to an Aquarium Arts because frankly, they have a better selection for enthusiasts. It was a good call. While they didn't have a lot that we were interested in, they did have gold nugget plecos, which was REALLY exciting. They're not particularly easy to come across here, and unlike common plecos they stay pretty small. (6 inches instead of 24 inches). So we picked one up. He's super cute, and living it up in the discus tank. Did I mention we got discus? Well, we did. They were languishing away at Aquarium Arts for I don't know, months, and finally we just couldn't bear it anymore and bought them. They're fantastic little fish and they swim up against your hands until you pet them. It's ridiculous.
We didn't find barbs there, well, we did, but they were too small and the JD would have eaten them so we went to another store. We picked up a spiny peacock eel (he's ridiculously cute) and some more barbs. It was super fun and Goose is really really happy about the eel.
That's about all I know. Miss you tons.
