    Jenkinsons Aquarium behind the scenes tour

    Big thanks to Mark for setting the tour up. Both Nikki and I came away very impressed with the whole operation over there at Jenks. They really are doing a lot with not a ton of space and no outside funding. To be working with and breeding several endangered species is pretty impressive...

    30 JBJ Rimless tank

    Yes, we moved her up after a few weeks and she is doing really well up there. We had to take the flavagottus anthia out of the 30g but he is doing really well in the frag tank so all is well. We have two other fish in the sump/fuge right now that will probably be moved soon.
