Aquarium update

It turns out that setting up a healthy aquarium with live plants is a hell of a lot more work than one would expect. After getting a parasite introduced from some fish we got at Petco I had to spend the better part of a week medicating the tank and we lost the two Platys from Petco in the process. In case you can't tell, I'm not too hip on Petco at this point. At any rate, I've found a great little locally owned place and after some advice from the owner our aquatic pets seem to be doing quite well. We currently have two guppies, two black harlequin barbs, three platys and a plecostumus that are all happy and healthy. The two guppies are from the original group that broke in the tank for us and have since been named Tony Thunder and The Iguana in honor of their toughness. Viv seems quite delighted with the whole thing.


That's Tony Thunder (blue and red streaks in fins) and The Iguana (all yellow) near the top right in the tank.
