One of the cories died.

In the big tank, 35 gallons, all was well until a few days ago when one of the cories was extremely discolored and wasn't moving much. I reached down in his direction and he didn't move.
I scooped him up and put him in a bag filled with aquarium water, and euthanized him.

This is a big deal for me because I haven't had a cory die on me, ever.
It was weird because he wasn't like the others. They were all growing fine, but he was always really small.

The other cories are at average length, but he is dead. Now the tank is short one cory.

In other news I am planning on ading some Otos, otocinclus spp., to the big tank for algae control.
I am letting the algae grow out which the parental units don't like.

And at school this kid had on a shirt that on the back said in big caps: HIS PAIN, YOUR GAIN. And it had a bloody hand with a stake through it.
Now if you think that is bad, don't hold your breath. On the front of the shirt it said in big letters again: THE LORD"S GYM. Then is had a picture of Jesus with the cross on his back that looks like he is bringing himslef up from a fall, but the rest of the shirt says: BENCH PRESS THIS!. And at a second glance it looks like Jesus is bulking up.

Now my friends parents have problems with them reading some Harry Potter books, but they will let them wear that kind a nonsense.
I didn't tell the kid this, but it made me a little mad and the fact that the kid sitting beside me saying what an awesome cool shirt this was really kind of disturbed me.

I mean Jesus dying or my sins is good and all, but some guy making money off that dosen't help me sleep at night. And the fact that this kid said it was "awesome" freaks me out a little bit, too.
