We'd been going back and forth for awhile about getting an aquarium. Then, one day Paul David's teachers told us that they were talking about everyones' pets. When they asked Paul David if he had a cat or a dog, he replied, "No, we're fish people!" So, we finally decided to o"fish"ally become FISH PEOPLE!
The Parrot Fish that I picked out...there's two of them:
Ever since the first feeding, any time you walk up to the tank, they all come to you! It's hilarious how they've already got personalities!
So, there are Yellow Labs, African Clownfish, Red Zebras, Rainbow Sharks, Tiger Barbs, Red Parrot, Blue Kenyas and there's one German Red Peacock that's the biggest, but REALLY shy! There's 31 fish in all!
We got 5 of most of the little fish (10 of the Tiger Barbs-they were cheap) so that they'll breed! Supposedly, they'll put their babies in the holes in the white stones until they hatch so that none of the bigger fish eat them! Super cool! There's only two of the Blue Kenya's, too...they're going to turn yellow if they're male, so that should be interesting!
As I anticipated, I hear "Mama, FISH" all day long! Then Paul David says "Rainbow Shark" every time he sees one of those. Now, we all get excited when the Big Fish comes out!
So far, we're LOVING the fish! I think they're perfect pets for us!

Looks great!!! Fish have to be sooo much easier and quieter than dogs :)
so who's gonna clean the tank?! :-)
looks nice - we had an aquarium once - not that nice though - won't say what happened but it was fun while it lasted!
