Our new pets




Greg has wanted a big fish tank for a while. Well, we got one. It is huge; as long as a couch! Setting it up took a little longer than we thought. It turns out that Greg's idea of getting river rocks from a river here in the city doesn't work so well in the winter time. My idea of buying gravel from Home Depot also wasn't so hot, apparently not a lot of people need gravel this time of year. We did eventually find some gravel that Greg deemed worthy of his tank and then added the rocks that he has been collecting and saving for years. We got some fish yesterday, they are tiny little things. They will grow to be big though so we didn't want to over populate the tank, but right now it looks a little funny with just seven tiny fish in that huge tank.
It is fun to watch them though and see how they interact, I also enjoy the sound, it is soothing.

You were not kidding, that thing is huge! We'll have to bring the kids over, they would like that.
