Feb 13, 2001, The first fish have arrived. 11 Guppies, some only 4 days old, some 4 months old, a couple may be pregnant. The tiny ones are hard to see, but I got a couple pics. My twin Jen brought some plants too, and we had fun setting setting them up. Thanks Jen for the fish and plants!
Update: Feb 19,2011. Went to Big Al's today, picked up 16 new fish, and I think the tank is full. Last week I brought home a pleco, an apple snail, and a bunch of neons, but the neons did not survive the water pump. I have encased the pump in sponge, but will not be getting any more neons. Today we picked up 2 pearl gourami, 2 golden gourami, 2 black molly, 2 red molly, 3 albino corydoras, 3 sterbai corydoras, and 2 albino bristlenose catfish/pleco. The fish seem to be adjusting well, and I am a very happy camper! Thank tank now has 28 fish and a couple snails.
The pleco I got last week, was so shy and would just hide in the corner behind the heater. Now that there are a lot more fish, and 2 more plecos, the first one is being all social too. Even though they are different kinds of plecos. One of the gouramis has been having fun trying to squeeze through every crevice it can. It loves the coffee mug handle. The albino corys are also having a hoot. Two of them are playing with the other fish at the top, playing chase games. All the fish are checking each other out. No aggression noticed.
