I ordered my last few fish today. They should be here Friday . I got my German blue ram coming, and two rainbowfish that are really cool looking(only because they had a $30 minimum purchase)

Yeah of course! I remember getting advice to add it absolutely last. So that's what I'll do. It probably won't be a Philippine blue though lol

Lol i don't think i could justify dropping $80 on a fish lol even if funds weren't a problem!

Ya lol. If I ever spend $80 on one fish, there's a huge problem and you should find help for me

I think there are plenty of people who already think we need help!

Those guys are awesome! You were right, i've never seen them before!

 

[George9]

They came! The rainbows look great, they still have a little coloring up to do, but look like the pcture. The ram is very pretty, and is super lethargic. I'm a little worried. He's fine in the bag, then when I put him in the bucket for acclimation, he rolled on his side, but he is sitting normal and moving his fins normal. I touched his tail and he didnt even move though. Okay, enough ranting! I'm just a bit worried about him :/

 

[George9]

I got them all in . The gbr is already out and about and the rainbows are always moving. I need a name for him, hes a male. The millennium one is freaking huge lol. I think they gave me a large instead of a medium I will post pics once I take them.

I started excel today too in hopes that I will get some more growth and my swords will look more lively I'm(Well, Aqua_Chem actually suggested it lol) thinking its just what I need.

 

[George9]

Here we go.

Updted tank shot:

Enrique(Because hes not camera shy )

The new GBR, he seems super happy and is very active. Unlike the last failure GBR a few months back. I think he'll do great:

One of the new rainbows (Hard to get a pic of this guy! its blurry!) He is soo much cooler in person too.

My Millennium rainbow, along with "Newman" the turqoiuse rainbow I haven't posted a pic of. also a bit blurry

 

[skywhitney]

The tank looks awesome! You have some really pretty guys in there now! the colors on the GBR are really vibrant.

Yeah they are very vibrant. So much nicer than I expected from oddballfish.com.

I noticed a drastic drop in flow out of my canister. I opened it up and it was full of gunk. Gun gunk gunk. Impeller, media, everything. I dunno why because I just cleaned it last month and was planning to do it tomorrow. Or maybe I thought I cleaned it last month and I really didn't. Hmm. Also, I peeled the sponges off the plastic piece and guess what came popping out. A freaking kuhli loach! Alive as ever. I put him back in the tank. He looks fine, except his barbels (sp?) are shorter.

Anyway, my water is cloudy now , I hope it will clear soon.

Wow, tank is looking killer. Cool thing finding the Kuhli Loach, they do the darndest things.
