fish

Finally put some fish into the fish tank. I’ve had this tank now for almost a year and have yet to put any fish in it for fear that I was going to screw it up. Went to Wally-world (a.k.a. Wal-Mart — the place you love to hate) because the fish are cheap... in case I do screw it up. They had some beautiful betas in little jars. They looked completely uncomfortable and I wanted to get one. We asked the lady (who doesn’t normally work in the department) if tetras and betas would get along ok. “I think so, just watch them to make sure.” Good thing we asked John, the regular in the pet section. He filled us in on their fighting ways, air breathing ways and many other fascinating facts.

For all those that are interested, Jungle Labs has a great site and good tips for fish tanks. If only I had looked there first.
