Hey everyone, just thought I'd throw you all a quick update. I don't know how many of you have been reading my latest posts about new editions and new tanks and all that, but here;s the skinny on my inside operation, just in case anyone cares. XD
So, just recently I was having a talk with Cheri and we decided it might be better if I keep Paul Newman, one of the White's we drove down to San Diego to pick up last month.This decision was reached upon a series of conversations, but honestly I would have been really sad to see the little guy go, and am happy that he's staying with me.
Of course this puts Cheri on the top of the list for any blue eyed babies that may come in the future, if I decide to breed my White's in the end, as Paul might be the only male in the whole group! XD; It was very nice for her to offer to let me keep him, and since she put so much money and time into helping me out with both of their set ups (not to mention the funds for even purchasing them) I intend to pay her back as best I can in the future.
Anyway, as for the plans. Since I now have four White's and that is too many too keep in the 18"x18"x24" Exo Terra I was planning on housing three of them in (until they got way too big and I absolutely HAD to shift them all) I have changed my mind about the 131 Gallon tank I recently bought with the intention of building it for a buttload of D. auratus and have decided it would better serve us all as a permanent home for my White's. As Cheri said, they'll really appreciate the space, and I think they all deserve it after the ordeals they've been through. XD;
SO, I have already bought all the supplies and my dad and I have started to build the 131 Gallon with the White's in mind. Mind you, we only have a bottom panel of plastic put in for water proofing, and we still need a new front and top panel of plexi, but it'll be coming along in the next few weeks. So keep your eyes open for my big build!
Thanks to everyone for listening/reading, I really appreciate all the support! ^ ^
