I am at college right now, and really missing my fish tanks from back home. So, I did the next best thing and got an Eclipse tank from my aunt who lives up here. I just barely set it up yesterday and have the filtration running and all. It was well in use for 5 years straight, so it's just like doing a complete water change. But, I went and got some fish and plants from a cool store in Hayward, Superway Aquarium I think it was. It's an awesome store, the owner is pretty old and cool. He has a lot of oddballs. Saw my first live paraya, fw baracudas, temensis, snapper, and other stuff that I can't remember.
Well, anyways, I capitalized on the "5 neons for $1.99". Deal and got 9 neons (he miscounted and charged me the same, but whatever, made up for it in the unexpected surprise from the java fern.) Also got one long finned blue ram and 3 corys (forgot which variety). The surprise in the java fern was about 5 kulli loaches, or at least I think that's what they're called(eel-like loaches that have black and orange bands/ blotches). Here's a really bad shot of the tank:

jk. Good to keep something that will keep you in the hobby until you get back.
Gonna go get some rocks and a tree-like piece of driftwood. 
But whatever, lol, I'm in dorms, gotta use some common sense and not get a ton of little tanks, haha. Plus my mom would go insane if I brought them home. XP I need 2 more plants at least.
