Regarding my intention (in light of getting the 75g) to downzise my tanks and simplify my setup, I um..... slipped....

Fri night got the 25g and was blown away by how nice the tank was. It will replace my 10g. Saturday went to mississauga for a dinner, BA and dragon aquarium was 5 min away, left ba with 2 pots of brazilian microswords. After the dinner picked a 48x18 double-tier stand, and mysteriously, 2 albino bn's and a goldspot juvie for the 40g, and approx 17 various bn fry (longfin albino, longfin brown, regular, along with a few L333 babies. Cleaned the algae farm from the 10, 50% w/c then acclimate.

Sunday went to home depot, picked up a 48x48 white laminated board and had 2 pieces cut for the stand, with an offcut left to put a shelf above the stand. 50% w/c, put the 40g on top, 2x15 and 1x25 empties underneath for storage, tossed the antique cabinet. Pics tonight.

Yup, downsizing, you heard right Kelly

Apperently I was wrong on the count, 25 fry and 3 adults.
A few each of L333 and L182 among the fry. I know Shinigami, I consider this very fortunate. I will do my best to give them a proper home. It will be cool when they are big enough to tell what is what
