I picked up some guppies, a tank light and hob filter, some wood and some fishfood. Since the guppies needed a new home STAT, it was a good thing I had that empty 10g sitting around (thanks, Errol). Only thing I had to pick up new was the gravel; for the plants I raided my other tanks:



So far the guppies (2 at right hand back corner and 1 right under the surface) seem ok.
250G (Pond) - Comets, Rosy Reds; 20G Retirement - Congo Tetras, BN, Banjo Cats, Pristellas, Buenos Aires Tetras, Zebra Danios; 25G Pygmy Corys, BN, Green Neons, Assassin Snails, 15G Blue Daisy Ricefish, BN, Betta; 6.6G (Edge) - Diamond Head Tetras, 3G Bloody Mary shrimp, 2G Caridina Cantonensis (tangerine tiger)

I got the Walstad book I've been keeping an eye out for - I'm very happy about that find.

Other than that, some lovely freebies of filter floss, suction cups, tubing and some fantastic orchid advice (thanks Enrico!)

It was great seeing people - my schedule's not been great for meetings, so it was nice to see everyone.

Hey Andre, Glad the canopy fit...aren't garage sales great? And John, Glad the fish all made it home O.K. You're gonna really like those kirizas when they mature! AS for you Errol...you drive a hard bargain! Seems like you've had practice at beating people down before over their prices. You should be ashamed taking advantage of innocent people like me!!! ;) ;)
It was fun and glad to have seen so many new people out. Hope you found what you were looking for.
