The Aquarium

A while ago, my husband decided he would like an aquarium. Of course, the fact that our daughter already had one had absolutely nothing to do with his decision.So, off we trotted to Waterworld,looked at various tanks,discussed whether to go for cold water fish or tropical,decided on tropical as we were told they are easier to look after.Then came the process of setting the aquarium up and preparing it for the fish,cycling it, as it is called. Then came the day when the decision was made. The tank was ready! Back we went to Waterworld and bought some neon tetras and some platys.Later, we added some catfish and 2 swordtails,who unfortunately died.We also lost one of the tetras but we have been told that most people will lose some fish.When the family were here for Christmas,we took the girls along and they helped us to choose some guppys, dannios and some more catfish.We also bought 2 black mollys.Unfortunately,we later noticed that one of the guppys had disappeared and George(that's hubby, by the way) reckoned that one of the mollys seemed to have suddenly put on weight! So,the aquarium now takes pride of place in our living room and I have to admit that it is very pleasant,having my morning coffee and watching the little fishies swimming round.
