Fish Tank

Well, you might remember this tank from a previous post. I know this tank as the empty tank that has been sitting in our house (whether in the dining room floor or upstairs) for the past 2 years. Well, Andrew finally finished the filter system and we were able to start getting some stuff to put in it. It isn't very full yet because we are seeing if it all stays alive. We got a few things from our friends, the Cartwrights, who were getting rid of one of their tanks. And we bought a few plants and fish ourselves.




So far, there has only been one casualty. One of the Neons below didn't make it. But, there are 4 left. And we will probably get a bunch more because they are schooling fish and it is fun to watch them all hang out together. These guys are extra cool too because they have glowing orange stripes down their sides and when they look at you head on, their eyes are bright orange as well. A little freaky. But they are only about an inch long. So, not too scary.


We still don't have any doors on the tank stand. But, we are working on it and hopefully we will have some by the time the baby comes. This is going to be a planted tank which means it is going to be full of plants. We are going to try to get some other cool fish to watch as well. For a tank that is so obnoxiously big, I think I am actually starting to like it.
