Last week I donated the pond fish (#medaka, #whiteclouds, and #notropis), today I donated the last batch of the tropical microfish (#sundadanio, #tetras) project. All that's left at home now are #guppies, #angelfish, #ancistrus, keyhole #cichlids, #corydoras and the old #kuhli loaches.

i'm not getting more corys or loaches; but they aren't disturbing any fish or eating fry so they get to stay.

will consolidate to just guppies, ancistrus, and #shrimp (neos) going forward. and my rare #plants :)

Acquired 4 fish last week both by accident and on purpose.
