Finally finished all the Boxing Day shopping (thank heavens for Boxing Week!).
New cardinal tetras. On sale at at $1.25 each, so I got 24.
(Interestingly, in that batch was a stowaway green neon tetra. So it looks like I have 23 cardinals and 11 green neons).
New clown loach caves, to accomodate them at their adult size. Replaced smaller caves that the loaches would eventually outgrow.
(These are the ones I had to hide. They were still there when the sale had begun, but instead of where I hid them they were out in plain sight. Looks like one of the employees found my stash! ? ?).
First one is 29 cm, second is 26 cm.
New dwarf chain loach cave, for my 110 liter's future dwarf chain loaches. Didn't have to hide this one prior to purchase, as there were plenty of them.
New decor for my 2022 loach tank (link in signature). These fake plants could not stand up without water, so unfortunately I couldn't photograph them in the tank.
But I'm quite happy with them overall.
New decor for my 2022 loach tank, continued. The 2 log caves and the driftwood on the right were purchased at the sale.
I also used the previously mentioned older, smaller caves from my clown loach tank that the clown loaches would eventually outgrow. They are the first and third in the sequence, and while they may be too small for adult clown loaches, they're an ideal size for the future Burmese, weather, yoyo, zebra, and striped kuhli loaches.
I'm very confident those loaches are going to enjoy this aquascape.
