...on the way to the airport to pick up Lucy last night, I went to Aquarium Arts in Mesa....the had Jagers but not a 250w...so when I got home I ordered 2 last night from eBay...

...he also had some really young Congo tetras -about 1" long - so I got 9 of them...they are shoaling together very nicely, but not mixing in with the 5 adults I already have in there... They don't look anything like the adults yet...colors are blah...tails haven't even begun to differentiate...but there are some with a little of the white edging in the caudal....

...actually, since it was not directly on the way to the airport, I stopped and called ahead to see if they had them...

...and I did meet a fellow who was working there that helped me and I liked him...he was a bit older than the kids working and he knew his stuff...I'll be asking for him when I go there in the future...
