Plecos and Stephanie Arrived Last Night!

Both Stephanie and my new plecos made in safe and sound last night. Somehow I ended up with four plecos instead of five, and the longfin albino ended up being a normal longfin. No big deal, that's plenty to do the job for now. I'll probably need some more if I want to try and set up a breeding colony, but that's still a way down the road.

I got the new tanks Sunday, too. They are a little grimy and need some scrubbing, so I've got my work cut out for me. They also are all painted on the back - yuck. I have had luck painting tanks, but I do it a little more nicely than these. I avoided the ones painted dayglo colors and managed to pick out mostly blues and one that's kind of maroon colored. I haven't decided yet if I'll scrape the paint off or not. Probably will, just because.

It's going to be 100+ degrees for the next couple of days and I really need to get them scrubbed out, but I know if I can take the heat. I guess I could do it in the middle of the night when it's a nice, cool 85. Ugh.

Still no pictures. Hopefully soon.
