| Maybe you should try one of those java moss wall things on the back. I think it would look good. |

Well, I decided to get back on the horse and pick up some new fish at the LFS. I went in looking for 10 pencilfish and 2 SAE's, but they only had 5 pencilfish and 1 SAE - so I got those.
They've acclimated now and are exploring their new home. I'll give them a couple days before I start flashing a camera at them, but I will get pictures somewhat soon  |

Visited my friend the pleco breeder this morning and came home with three young LDA-08's. He didn't have any L-134's though, so that hunt continues... |

| I lost a pencilfish overnight - and I'm pretty sure the SAE is to blame. He was seen harassing them yesterday and this morning, attempting to eat their slime coat.
That won him a trip back to the LFS, where I picked up a school of 6 columbian tetras that are acclimating now... |

I was contemplating getting these for my 55 gal. as well, but the slight size/speed advantage of the Buenos Aires steered me away from that. It's too bad, cuz' I really prefer the Columbians---they should really liven things up in your tank. They're pretty too!

| So far, the Columbians are cracking me up!
They'll be nicely schooling along, and all of the sudden, they'll just completely spaz out for absolutely no reason  It's absolutely hilarious -- I had sort of come to view tetras as part of the "landscaping" so to speak, but these guys actually have some personality... |
