nyxie has been moving stuff here from her old apartment
lately, and one of the things that she's brought over is her ten gallon
aquarium. Unfortunately two of the five fish in it did not survive the
move -- but this meant that we had to buy more fish! There was plenty
of room for more fish on top of the replacements, too, so we got to
have some fun fish shopping.
Our fully-stocked aquarium now has:
I'm so excited about having fish again! We had a 40-gallon freshwater
tank when I was growing up, and managed to keep it going with a good
stock of fish, live plants and so forth for a long time. The angelfish
in our current tank were my idea -- the centerpiece of my old tank
was a pair of angels that had to be 7 or 8 inches from fin tip to
fin tip. It's nice to have a betta, too -- that first aquarium started
as a betta named Sushi in a bowl, who survived for about six years
before managing to live up to his name when the filter screen fell off.
Of course this means I now have the fish bug, and am picturing the
40-gallon cichlid tank on one wall and the 100-gallon freshwater along
another wall and the discus back over there and the marine tank over
here and so forth. It's a good thing this stuff isn't cheap in those
volumes.
Perhaps the world needs another fishcam. I wonder how long a USB
run I could do?

I think that "Sushi in a bowl" would be hilarious.
Now you need a betta, see.

ah, yumyumyum (gremlims)
Do you take antibiotics for that that, or just get lots of rest and let it run its course?
