I am never up this early, but!
Today I'm bringing home the main attraction to my 55 gal. I was housing my guppies and fry in my 55 while we decided where we were going to move. I didn't want to put bigger fish through that stress when the smaller fish could handle the move much more easily.
But with how fast we turn over oscars at work, I had to jump on doing this today.
We have this stunning small-ish albino tiger oscar at work who has the most vibrant orange striping I've ever seen on any from our supplier. And his jaw is a little messed up, not enough to hinder his eating, but enough to notice, it's actually a very small deformity. But the way it sticks up on the side reminded me instantly of Stallone, and I just fell in love with the little guy.
So I'm up at the butt crack of dawn moving the fry, 1 guppy, and 2 platy's to my ten gallon so that Stallone can be moved in today right after work.
SO EXCITED!
Also very caffeinated... figured I might as well clean all my tanks in one go this morning while I'm at it.
I shall have lots of update pictures this evening. Last night when I was headed out from work I even got a couple more plants and some plant food for the 55, I want Stallone to have a lovely live planted tank so he isn't stressed out at all. Especially since I'm going to try and introduce him to a couple tank mates while he's still small so that hopefully everything works out.
And before anyone freaks out that I'm planning on putting other south americans in that tank, I do have a back up tank should it not work out. And we are hoping to move in the next couple months so I'll have room for another bigger tank should Stallone really need to be kept solo.

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
