I haven’t been paying attention to my collection or newly released figures for the past few months, but my interest has been sparked once again, causing my return to the forum. I changed computers, causing my original spreadsheet detailing my collection to be lost. I've decided to focus my efforts on documenting it all once again, mainly because it is more fun than digging up the original spreadsheet.
This first post in my return is going to be focused on my pets. A pet store a few cities over is emptying out and moving closer to my house and everything in it is being offered 20-50 percent off. I used this opportunity to gather some more supplies for the pet room.
Algae wafers - My fish tank has had a dreaded hair algae problem for several months. I recently bought a Clown Pleco that hides away all day so I can't photograph. What I can however is the food I bought to supplement its diet.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Aquarium heater - I bought a heater for my tank, and if you ask me that purchase was long overdue. My fish and plants can live without it, but they are that much better with it, so I chose to get one.

Beacon Tetras - also called the Head and Tail Light Tetra, but Beacon Tetra sounds better.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Beacon Tetra's offspring are currently overrunning my tank. It's one thing when a fish survives or does well in a tank, but when they reproduce it's an entirely new level of thriving and I've counted at least 5.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Black Mollies - the reason I purchased these was to rid my tank of algae and since then they've done most of the work. I was at first concerned due to the white spots on them, but they act normal and none of the other fish have caught them so it's probably not a sickness.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Cherry Barb - another fish I enlisted to clean the algae, truly an all-hands-on-deck job. I caught two of the barbs in possible courtship but I'm not sure.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Black Nerite Snail - the snails mainly work on the glass, but they are still a welcome element of my tank.
