Right after I dropped my husband off at work this morning, I ran over to Walmart to return the poor deceased froggie. I suddenly decided that I wanted to go to Petsmart. So, I hopped in my car and drove the 50+ miles it takes to get there.
I didn't get anything too special. I got six Rosy Reds for the Axie tank, last I looked there were two, lol. I also got three more ghost shrimp, all of which are prego females. I have one big female in there now that has been there for weeks... Maybe because of the lack of powerful filtration, some of the eggs might survive as larvae.
I bought two more mystery snails, one ivory and one blue. I already have a gold in my guppy tank, and a bunch of baby blues. I added the two new ones to the gup tank too.
I got the lady to pick a couple of trumpet snails for me too, and added those to my others in the guppy tank. Once I have enough of these snails I want to start offering them to you guys as barter for plant clippings, etc, lol. I think we could get a fun little trade system going. I have pond snails, mystery snails, ramshorns, and trumpets, and of course plenty of guppies.
I bought another nice big cabomba plant, for the Axie tank. I really like cabomba, I know a lot of people don't but I love it because it is so nice and lush.
I also found this little gem floating among the plants and had it thrown in for me... I have pondweed in my gup tank, but this is different from what I have or have seen. The leaves are almost fuzzy looking, and it is all tied together by it's roots. I thought it might be a nice addition for my palu eventually.
I also got another ADF, lol. I wasn't going to, but it turned out I could not resist. This one is much healthier looking than the last. I made her search through the tank until she found a nice fat one for me. Once this little guy is acclimated I will go back and get another. I also bought some frozen bloodworms.
The tank is kind of bare right now, I just took some clippings from my other tanks and planted them along with a little pond weed. I put 6 baby guppies and 2 baby blue mystery snails in it too.
My kids got lucky, after a lot of promises they got to have this tank in their room. They are thrilled. I might get them a couple of goldfish to go in it too, I really like black moores and pearlscales.
Free snails, a free plant... What more could I ask for?
I went SHOPPING, lol
We had to wait in line and we were standing next to the tank, another person came over with an employee and was looking at the guppies in that tank and she started to get upset. Not throwing herself, just, "My fishy...." The employee whispered, "Don't worry, I won't let her take your fish..." Kate was all smiles
