frogspawn comes home

I finally made a trip back home, and while i was there i picked up my long lost frogspawn. it was the centerpiece of my last tank, and i just couldn’t part with it when it came time to sell all my livestock before the move. it made the trip just fine and within an hour was fluffing out pretty well.

i also had a royal gramma and false perc clownfish waiting for me, but literally two days before i headed home, the gramma decided to find out what the carpet felt like. he didn’t even leave a note! i figured a $15 clownfish wasn’t worth a 4 hour trip so i let my oh-so-nice fish sitter keep it. (he just lost a clownfish of his own)

to avoid a long story, lets just say i had a rental car for the day. and of course my destinations for driving around town were some local fish stores. i grabbed a sailfin tang and a lawnmower blenny while i was out. don’t worry, it wasn’t a compulsive buy just because my tank is finally ready. i’ve been eye-ing sailfins for awhile, and this guy just seemed to have the right personality. hopefully he’s a swimmer and not a hider. the LMB, well everybody needs one of those, right? :] i’m looking to have a large fish-load, so i feel a little preventative maintenance goes a long way
