New pets
 

Gotta love a trip where you're out for one thing and come back with a bonus. Went to my po' boy's pet store (the river) to get me a small pleco for my 50 gallon tank. I'm having an algae problem right now and nothing cleans like a hungry pleco. This would probably be a $20 fish in a pet store.

But before I caught that little guy, I saw this and couldn't pass it up. It is called a freshwater prawn. It is related to shrimp and crayfish. I didn't measure it but it is probably about 10 inches in just body. The claws easily add another 4-6 inches.

Groovy! We got three fish (help me out, Cody!) to put in the pool last spring to eat up all the tadpoles. They were gone in no time!

I don't remember what they were called.....big white goldfish lookin' things.

They are tadpole eating machines though.
