NEMO!!



Well i think my husbands fish tank fetish, might be taking a slight halt for awhile. He has finally got a big tank like he wanted(of course there are still bigger ones). He has taken the time to sell all the old fish from the smaller tanks(they are not reef safe and we are going to do a reef tank so we can have coral) and he got the entire tank up and runny after 4 long days of making sure everything is perfect. The biggest worry i had was putting the water in the tank, when the tank is located on carpet in my living room. Thank goodness there was only a small leak that was fixed within minutes. Ryland was all excited to see the water go in because he wanted fish. Roy and Ryland go to the fish store just about every other day to pick out fish, but Roy always told him he had to wait until there was water in the tank. That day came and ryland wanted fish. There are so many reason why you have to wait to put fish in a salt water tank. So we have another tanked called a QT tank that fish and coral have to go in before they go the big tank. The QT tank has nothing in it but PVC pipes for the fish to hide in. Anyways we went to the fish store this morning and ryland picked out fish!!! He picked out NEMO and i wanted DORI, but Dori was a little to expensive to be a tester fish. Pretty much the fish we bought today may not survive, but hopefully they will if my husband has the patients to leave them in the QT tank long enough. So here are the pics of 2 nemos we got today. there is also some copperband fish we got!!!

How cool is that...Nemo. I'm like Cassi, I can't wait to come over and see them.. I love to look at fish tanks, but would never have the patience and would NEVER like to clean the tanks out!! Good Job, Roy...

It amazes me how many fish tanks you have in your house ! At least he likes collecting fish and not video games or something : )
