We're (Fish) Parents!

Lots of exciting things in this household lately!! Larry and I have officially decided to start house stuff shopping since we finally closed on the Condo and have some spending money now. It kind of started randomly last weekend. You see, we had to go get specialty food for the kitties (to help with their oral care) and I happened to see the fish tank stuff. Now ever since we started the building process it's been clear that Larry wanted to get a fish tank at some point. I'm not the biggest fish fan, but we found some cool displays and figured if he wanted it I'm sure it would be low maintenance enough we could manage it at some point.

Seeing that fish stuff and how colorful and awesome it looked got me really excited to actually start it so we found some fish we liked and a tank, but realized it wouldn't fit in Larry's car so we decided to come back later. We then figured since we were out and about we should go look at some furniture at Furniture Row. We had gone before we moved, but now we could really find stuff we wanted. Turns out the couch I loved when we went last time was 50% off and super affordable so I thought it would be good to get now, but we still weren't sure. We decided once Andy got off work we'd bring him out to come try it and see how he liked it and we could also get our fish tank.

How pretty is our tank?

Fast forward to that night when Andy got home and we headed out. Fish tank was bought along with all the accessories we needed (aside from the stand, that came later) and went to get our couch ordered. It was such a good weekend.

We had to get the water set up before we could actually buy the fish so we worked on that this whole last week and then went to PetSmart again today. We found a couple Molly's and Platy's that we liked (the Molly's are Dalmatians and the Platy's were colorful so I figured the kitties would like that). We asked for a boy and girl one for each and it turns out both our girl fish are pregnant so we'll have babies soon.

How you'll find us ALL the time haha

Getting them in the water and settled was so cool. I could watch the tank for hours! It kind of looks pathetic with only the 4 tiny fish, but it's so colorful and the kitties seem to like it (although only Oscar has actually seen the fish) so it's pretty cool so far. I'm excited to see what we end up doing with this fish tank. We wanted to get some shark fish, but they are aggressive and could eat the babies so I'm not sure we'll do that this time, but we'll see. We want to get some frogs, sucker fish, maybe a couple cat fish, and others just to have a good eco system in there. It'll be awesome.

They love the fishies haha

Anyways, I have to go, it's dinner time for the fish and I love watching them eat :)
