I went a little crazy at the fish store

So many great fish!! That's gonna be a super fun tank!!!

I’m starting to realize my happy shrimp colony has suddenly become prey. I moved the Gudgeon, but the Kilifish, Honeys and Swordtails are all clearly fascinated by the live food I’ve unintentionally provided.  I’m going to turn off the lights and hope for the best. Tomorrow I can figure things out. F3617937-2D49-43EE-87C7-4379741D5A3F.jpeg.0c4d1c525e77629f28a87c573fa975f7.jpeg

Voted most likely to snack on shrimp

I love those guys! Their blue eyes are a wonderful find among the tank vegetation!

Yeah, they’re so much more interesting in person and in a more natural looking setting. I really hope I can keep them in the little tank long term.

It may become an issue if they start breeding. I have heard they get very territorial.

@Patrick_G, do I detect a Robert A. Wilson fan as well?

Haha, yeah, back in the pre internet days the online bbs community  I participated in was really into The Principia Discordia and The Illuminatus Trilogy. It was all fun and games until the great Schism. 
Hail Eris! 😀

Man you done good!  

Those gouramis do look great in that nano, where's the other stuff headed off to?

We like our Green Neons, but they sure seem to be super shy.

My Green Neons are schooling back and forth with the Rummy Nose. It’s great. 

I have the Chilis in my 11 gal for now. 
The Sparkling Gourami are in the three along with the Gudgeon. The rest are in the 75 along with the exsisting Cherry Barbs, Guppy Juveniles and bottom crew. Over the next couple of days I’ll set up some new tanks and shuffle them around a bit. The Gudgeon and Swordtails might get re-homed. We’ll see.

thats far too many fish for that little tank, you should probably stick those chili's in the mail, and ill put them in my roomy tank.😎

You can have three pregnant guppies and a Peacock Gudgeon with a taste for shrimp!

Illuminatus and Foucault's Pendulum made for great D&D campaigns!

oh my gosh! look at those adorable gouramis! I really want to try sparkling gouramis sometime, but I can never find them locally, and I don't quite want the quantity (6+) that I often see for a 'shipped' amount. Fingers crossed your shrimp colony makes it. My honeys don't bother shrimp at all (though they'd probably eat baby shrimplets), but they like to give some 'friendly' pecks to my mystery snails....
