I love my fish!
I love my aquarium these days. For the last year I’ve been having trouble with my aquarium. Whoever says keeping a healthy fish aquarium is easy, is crazy! I’ve struggled with temperature, ammonia, and nitrate amounts. I’ve had fish after fish take the lonely, sad road to everlasting life down my toilet. But lately I’ve been having great success. I can say this because these fish have lived quite a while now and seem to be perfectly healthy. I made a spontaneous decision to put a little extra money into my aquarium and get some bigger fish. The little ones just didn’t make it. And unfortunately they are the cheaper ones. So, I got some Parrot fish. They are stunning, and my favorites! I love to watch them flit around. They are extremely skittish and hide in the pots a lot. As soon as I walk over to the aquarium they high-tail it for the pots… but it’s funny to watch. Then they start peeking out of the holes in the pot, and eventually come out and swim around.
I now have three Parrot fish, Darrin, Sam, and Esmeralda. I have two Convict fish, Scofield and Kate. I have one Swordtail, Aramis. I have one Giant Danio, Ditto (he used to be part of a pair, but Dot didn’t make it). And I also have two large Tiger Barbs, Raja and Cleo.
I think my Tiger Barbs are doing a little mating dance here…. They do that a lot!
This is Scofield, my Convict fish.
They are lovely.

How neat! I’ve been thinking about getting an aquarium. I’ll have to look into it some more.
