The tanks need some new plants so last Friday we went to Decatur, Al to visit some stores. Sadly we didn’t find any real aquarium plant. In PetCo and PetSmat they only sells mondo grass and other NON aquarium plants. We will have to get them online. I would like some long vallisnerias and some more swords that grow so well in our tanks.
Michelle liked a Blue crayfish (Procambarus alleni) so we got it for $21.60. We pick 4 Blue Blue Gourami (Trichogaster trichopterus) and 2 Three-Lined Cory (Corydoras trilineatus), this last listed as “spoted corys” in PetCo.
We put the new fish and crayfish in a small 10 gallon tank for quarantine for some days. The crayfish seems to attack when other fish come closer, so we separated the 2 corydoras and we add them already to the 55 gallon tank. They seems to be in very good shape.
We moved the plecostomus and the 3 corydoras in the 2o gallon tank and we add them to the 55 gallon tank as well, so the crayfish can be alone with the two anglefish in the 22 gallon aquarium. But if we see that the crayfish damage any gourami we will conceder to keep it alone in the 10 gallon tank.

If your in the North Alabama area, try Pet Depot. It is a local chain with stores in the Shoals and Decatur that I know of. They have really good freshwater fish, but have recently stopped carrying saltwater fish. If you are into Reef aquariums, the best reef store I have found anywhere is just east of Athens on Capshaw Road. It is Coral Reef Aquatics. Also, if you like cichlids go to Just Cichlids in Huntsville. They have an incredible selection of cichlids and pretty good prices. Jonathan Bedsole jbedsole@athens-utilities.com
