New Aquisition

i tried to resist temptation today at the LFS, but unfortunately i put all my thought processes onto resisting clams (and there were a few) when what do i see? temptation in a different form. it looked nice, i said hmmmm, i do have a spot that would look great in, then i decided to look at the price and i just knew that would disway any contemplation of purchasing. once again forces were working against me...

it had to be wrong! it couldnt be!! $44.99?!?! so i ask the owner i said is that the right price?....i then heard temptations victory over me...he says,,,, no........for you $35...i put up a galant fight but my metel folded under that mighty blow!

here it is in my tank!!!
