You have you 5 year old calling all the fish in the tank by their proper names. My wife can't even do that. Her favorite so far was the Blue Spotted Jawfish......RIP. Now she likes her Starry Blenny.

Don't forget Craigslist, I am always looking at anything local that's a good deal and sure enough I found a Elos mini 5 minutes from work that I had no intenion of buying, but could not pass up. Can't wait to start setting it up!
