Pleco Trouble

Hey all! I've been lurking for a bit but never posted. My husband and I just got our 29 gallon tank going, and we've been trying the slow and steady method of getting the water just right, planting plants, rechecking the water and we finally got it balanced after about five weeks. We introduced 6 shrimp, 1 mystery snail and a bristle-nose plecostamous. We've had them for four days. We lost a shrimp yesterday, but we heard that that's relatively common. Unfortunately we lost our pleco today and we cannot figure out what we got wrong. We checked all the balances, and everything is still great. We've fed them a few pellets morning and night. I know this is a shot in the dark, but does anyone have any ideas? We care about our fish and want to keep them healthy and happy, but we're clearly missing something in our parameters.

Tapas Ñ - A Taste of Spain

I am so happy to have found this place in Castleton! Totally unassuming building, which, as any foodie knows, often houses the best food, and Tapas Ñ - Taste of Spain is no exception to that. You walk in and you're immediately transported. The interior is gorgeous. The seating is plush and comfortable. Every employee we encountered was so kind and friendly. Now, the most important part: the menu. Beautiful! My husband and I are pescatarians, so I can't speak to the meat selections, but there are so many vegetarian and seafood options. We started off with their sangria and, red or white, you can't go wrong. Amazing. For food, we ordered the Gambas al Ajillo, Patatas Bravas, Champiñones con Queso, Blanco's Queso de Cabra, and Piquillos Rellenos. Am I embarrassed by how outrageously much food we ordered? Yes. Do I regret it? NEVER. Every single thing was incredible. The shrimp were done to perfection, the potatoes were exactly right and the cheese was fresh and delicious. The sneaky winners, though, were Blanca's Queso and the Piquillos. We like to pick out a handful of places that are go-to’s for when people come to visit, and this spot is 100% going on the list. In fact, I plan on going again next week when family comes to visit. Seriously: check this place out.
