Mail Call

 

Thanks to a once-in-a-long-time opportunity, the fish club and I got to go in on a wholesale order.  I wanted to order most of the catalog but I peared it down to a practical list. 


Of what I requested, one African Butterfly Fish 
 

and three South American Leaf Fish were available.  
 

Incidentally, I also scored seven Pygmy Corydoras because the shop that received them ordered extra.  I had planned to order them anyway but they didn't make the cut.  

So you may think that the Leaf fish will be my cull fish I was talking about a couple of posts ago.  They will.  But so will a Zig Zag Eel I picked up at Claws N Paws last Saturday.  $9.99, best price I've seen.  I'm temporarily housing him in a 10 gallon until the 55 is up and running.

Can you spot the eel?


Just his head poking out.

I buried a length of clear plastic tubing for him to hide in and after a couple days, he's comfortable.
