Yesterday I got dad some fish, normally I have no trouble getting them home and transitioning them into the fish tank water even the tertris which I have done a lot. But since i have moved to MN, and lost my last tank with all my fish I used to breed I have had nothing but trouble keepong them alive. Dad was looking at some very large fish tanks and saying how they’d be nice, yeah but where am I going to fit it in the house, it’s not like I have alot of room.
I went to PetSmart, and got dad 4 guppies, 2 males and 2 females, I guess dad likes watching them have babies and looking at all them having baby. I got one male which looks like a monarch butterfly and another which reminds me of the rainbow, which is G-d promise not to flood the earth. The other female is pretty and the other male is nice looking too. I am hoping they do not all die soon, but it seems they have lived longer then any other fish I have gotten. I picked some really fisty fish, who didn’t want to be caught, for the guppies. Now the tetris were not fighters they were caught on the first try, and they all looked very small so maybe they just were not that healthy or strong.
The guppies would have died by now if they where not going to make it, but they have been swimming strong and eating and chasing after eachother for fun moments for fish. Now if dad gets his way I think I might need to look at a filter the size of spa filters because them tanks are huge, and boy I can promise I wouldn’t be able to file it up as quickly as I did my ten gallon tank.
PetSmart has good fish for the most and their tanks where clean. I did not see any dead fish floating in the tank which is important when buying a fish. The young lady who had me, was new to the job and it was a show watching her get the guppies out of the tank. I told her we’d be back for both catfish and a sucker fish, later when the tank been used a little while longer.I need to make sure they have food to eat too, and the tank was recently set up. I moved my tank to the dining room which doesn’t get a lot of sun lit but they are out in the open and it’s not as dark in there.
I wanted a fish tank when I was a kid. I wanted a big fish tank that could serve as a wall or something, with different kinds of fish inside. I didn’t know that having that was very complicated. I had a fishbowl with two goldfish in it
It all depending on the type of fish you want to keep. I have had many fish growing up, I used to breed them. I think having a fish tank is like having a garden some people know how to keep them a live and some people no matter how hard they try it just dies.
