We are the proud new owners of some fish... and a fish tank!
On Monday we went and bought the tank, and the plants, rocks, filter, heater, bubbler, and water conditioner.
On Wednesday Bill brought home the first round of fish. I say that because some of them died... so we have replaced them ~ gotta love that 14 day guarantee!
The man at the store told Bill that with a brand new tank, especially one our size, it takes a while for the fish to thrive based on the fact that it is so clean and the fish need a certain level of bacteria/algae to live.
Over the next few weeks we will be adding to our tank. We hope to get more fish and also a 'bottom dweller' to help with the cleaning. Right now we have two sword tails and a blue Mickey Mouse fish. :)
Blue Mickey Mouse on the left, sword tail on the right... the other one was hiding.
The first night we had the tank - finally filled with water!
We put it in the living room on the wall across from the chair and couch.
The middle door pops out and there is storage space behind it.That's it for now ~ when we get more fish I'll post more pictures. :)
