Shirt Orders

Hey everyone! Good news!
Shirts are officially $10! See the attached pictures or the blog for what they'll look like. If you want one, I need your order by Monday April 9th. I will be emailing the order that evening. Don't miss out!!!

The shirts are 100% pre-shrunk cotton, & they run about a size small, so if you normally get a small, I'd get a medium.

If you have questions, let me know!!!!

Congratulations to the proud fish that gave birth in the Tri-Beta tank recently to this fry.  With any luck, this small fish hiding out in the floating plants will grow to be a full size member of the tank.  Stop by in between classes and see if you can find it in the plants!

Welcome Back!

Welcome Back everyone!
