I drove out to #Sir_Keith’s place and toured his fish room and was gifted a beautiful Synodontis angelicus. She now resides in the 90g.

this happened about a week but the fish has finally settled in and what have you, but I moved down to Everett with a couple buddies I've been friends with since my Sopomore to Junior year of highschool. Here's everything I ended up filming/took pictures of
@Renegade Aquatics, I hate moving fish! Looks like it all went well. How do plants hold up to moving?

I simply bagged up in a ziploc with a little water, other then a tear a leaf of the big center sword its pretty big (they were the gallon ziploc bags for referance) everything is alright. yeah i was a little scared especially because when I first ordered the fish it did not do well in shipping, when I got her I wasn't sure it was going to survive until the next night when she started zipping around at the smell of shrimp in her tank. Luckily I didn't have to worry too much this time around!

I scored 12 aquaclear filters. Mostly 50s but a couple of 70s and 110s. Some with media some without. The paper bag is mostly carbon but there are new foam inserts too.
Forgot to add, Lots of time I drain and fill with water changes due to no real need to gravel vac. But now with the amphilophus in the tank I find I am gravel vacing just to level the tank back out due to the digging! I forgot how much they love to dig! I was spoiled with my last fish in that she was not a digger.
So true ! They dig like crazy... if given enough time, they try to make a mound in front so y’all that it blacks out the whole front. Haha
Yesterday was nice, spent time feeding tanks. Not just the dump food in and walk away.
I fed the puffers night crawlers and watched them for a while and then treated all the fish in the 75g and 300g to frozen foods. I have just recently tried an Omega One frozen cichlid mix. Its got a gel base to it. These cubes float for a long time and dont really come apart. My fish couldnt figure out what to do with them, lol. I finally had to just chop them up to feed. The fish seem to like them but I feel like its all the scrap garbage mixed into a gel. Does not have that same quality feel as seeing individual whole shrimp/worms coming off a frozen cube. Anyway enough rant on the food. Spent an enjoyable time watch all the fish eat.

6 water changes. 100g multies, 2x 29g, 55g, and both spawning tanks(hopefully). Trimmings planted from guppy grass.
Fishroom garage project work. Scrubbed floor with low speed buffer and it looks so much cleaner now. Still waiting for replacement parts to finish Dewalt rack.
Went to Tacoma Mall Petco and bought a bag of Seiryu Rock. Had them price match their online price. $27.99 for 15 pounds. Bags are clear enough to see what you get. Likely adding more to the 75g growout tank.

Dewalt got me my replacement parts for my rack. Worked on it a bit today.
Stopped at Midway and got a 36 x 12 footprint, 30 gallon to replace the 20L. I am thinking about moving the arrowhead puffer into it. While I love being able to give a 65B to the puffer, it really is way overkill. I could use the 65B for other projects at this point.

I repaired the center brace on my other 55g by gluing an 1/8” thick piece of acrylic to the underside.
The aquarium is now full of water and is home to the syn angelicus that I received from Sir_Keith.
I can now update total number of aquariums running to 11.

Would love to see pics... especially since Im looking at catfish at the moment
@Colin James, Probably should clarify I would like to see pictures of the fish not @sir_keith... lol
I had a post of interest in cats (fish) and I should have been more specific since I got pics of cats (mammal) from @sir_keith,

Ah, my mistake, probably because I have more cats (mammals) than cats (fish).

Here is the 55g cat tank. I’m thinking I might add a pile of rock on the left side, open space on the right with a field of shells and multies. The angelicus is not a large mouth cat so adult multies should be safe.
Currently she hides in the plastic mountain on the right.
