Gnot sure I’ll be making a Renton run soon but I did go to Aquarium Zen! 

It’s a great store, and I agree about the prices. Brand name aquascaping gear isn’t cheap but it sure looks good. Look how those Angels glow under that ADA light!

Yeah it’s so easy to stop in there and grab them but they often have had larger ones lately. Mixed bag. 

Oh, nice, that’s good to know.

Updates: water change for the 60 g last night and wow those fish are gorgeous and noticeably bigger and bolder! B75FBD90-A3A2-414A-90C4-1967D9574D40.jpeg.c2132622a63510c27dff1b778badc6d2.jpeg

I totally understand the Hillstream Loaches thing now. It’s like little rays all over the tank. You see them more than plecos and the patterns are gorgeous. 39BA0CE0-94DD-4B64-B60A-719AA18C4161.jpeg.b6915340ddd96f3ce7aa6e0ee3154c18.jpeg

Managing to start getting some better plant growth and good colors. 23DA3100-D0D3-4EDA-B457-F099F852247B.jpeg.2c40dd689b669981121ffd9ae053aaeb.jpeg
Plenty kH algae for the HS loaches, Amanos and the gobies.98C2621F-0C38-4B04-B132-5850B6902F69.jpeg.17495e2418feda46454d0ab56d5af7f4.jpeg

the zebra loaches are amazing they are like moths to a food and flow flame but they are beautiful and fun to have onboard. 52A63A11-930C-4DA4-B1F4-615BAED9F4CD.jpeg.1a2145ed15aa1777a04f7dc2b08a49d8.jpeg

These rainbows 🌈 will start to really color up in 1-2 water changes. Each time the colors are a little more vivid. 00690396-61D6-4A65-B0C4-F5C481A90EF8.jpeg.bbf8f1d55d705d0debd2528a241b0dd4.jpeg
this corner is coming along nicely, A7F4D569-B278-4584-822E-6C03CB8817BF.jpeg.8b90cb0b8d37fee88dde5a7eb5bc6977.jpeg

These are still really young fish which is exciting. 

I missed keeping shrimp so I have some

wood/bamboo shrimp in addition to the group

of Amanos. 424082FE-830C-451B-9CA8-D97C34764BCD.jpeg.e248c79f9f976fa993ea15c329591c14.jpeg4BA776CC-9366-42A4-B314-63D686DDB003.jpeg.85796dd5d0cbf5fc227e88814ccaed08.jpegA19A364F-7975-46F0-917E-8C1BFD828DCE.jpeg.0a7cf40c2bd62784c5a230e94dfdab14.jpeg42FD2525-3BC9-4A83-B637-F319E481D5FC.jpeg.86191852ae2e8f9f7206e73674b6e585.jpeg

The patterns on my nerite snails are rad. Looking forward to seeing more of all my invertebrates! 0287E852-CABA-4127-BFF0-4C7BDF229179.jpeg.d84848b2240925bd12f26b161e88f251.jpeg

This tank has a very robust group of the loaches. Couldn’t see the zebras but the hillstreams were out! 
 

Have a fun and happy new year 🎆 🎈
