7 Day Until The Arrival Of Some Rare Corys

Yes, I know.........C. aeneus and trilineatus are two of the most common corys available..........but I had to start somewhere.  Would hate to kill off $20 to $40 fish instead of $3 fish!  SO, my 4 new Corydoras eques and 10 Corydoras sp. Black are one week away from arriving.  I am in a race to set up my new 20L tanks but am on hold waiting for my double tank stand to arrive.  Meanwhile, my other half, Mike, now tells people "We have FOUR fish tanks now!".  He has no idea I have plans for a 55 Gallon grow out tank for the living room wall.  Shhhhhh, he'll love it ;)

Who knew how hard it was to find a good old fashioned sponge filter for a fry tank?!  Not one store on my end of Spokane County, WA OR Pend Oreille County, WA OR Bonners County, Idaho carries a simple sponge filter for a fry tank.  Finally just decided to order some from a store online, but shoot you only get free shipping for orders over $75..........they sure know how to suck us bargain shoppers in!  Sponge filter shopping turned into this:
