Cool I'll check out the Route 4 Aquarium, I know that area pretty well. Absolutely Fish is definitely overpriced, but they are pretty competent and have a lot of selection.

Some tank updates: all my fish are doing well, and I added 4 cherry red shrimp (so awesome!). Two of them molted within days of being put in my tank and they are a gorgeous bright red with a peach stripe down their backs. The blyxa japonica has not shown much growth and one of the stems is on its way out. The lily is also proving difficult to grow. I'm learning more and more about ferts which is helping the lily (since I've been adding nitrogen, lots of small leaves have sprouted) and a small outbreak of BGA is retreating. I've been dosing Potassium as well, and have Phosphorous on the way.

Also, the goby in my tank is almost definitely a Goo Obo gudgeon.
