First Fish!

We got our first first today!! 2 Green Chromis.  These fish are very hardy and are a great starter fish…however, they are one of the FASTEST fish so if you put them in your tank you are basically stuck with them because you will never ever catch them again.  They are doing great! just fed them and they ate it all up 🙂 plus the zombie snail came up out of the sand for once and ate the leftovers, so cool.  Now they are just zooming around the tank having fun swimming against the current of the power head.  They are really pretty looking, cant wait for the LEDs to kick on at 8pm to see how the glow under the moonlight.  Pics below.  Also added in 9 more sails over the last 2 days so we are up to 10.  I need about 10 more in this sized tank so adding them in slowly but surely.  Anyway, until next time, just keep swimming!

Anniversary or Tailgate?

I just got back from World Wide Corals.  As I told you yesterday they are having their huge 5 year anniversary sale.  Well, you see, I thought it would be a few people hanging out in the store…not the case.  There were TONS of people there just sitting around in the parking lot eating food.  This wouldn’t have been so bad…EXCEPT…there were tons of people putting tickets in the raffle boxes.  Yesterday, there were hardly no tickets in the ones I entered in but I am guessing that after today my chances have been reduced quite drastically.  Oh well, at least I only spent $11 and not like $50 on tickets.  I was planning on staying and listening to one of the experts talk about fish behavior but I just felt unconfortable there, like I didnt belong.  Not really sure why…maybe because everyone else seemed like they belonged…just chit chatting and talking about tanks.  Maybe its because I dont know very much about this stuff yet.  Well, anyway…guess Ill just have to wait for the raffle drawing tomorrow at 6pm.

Until then, just keep swimming!

p.s. only 12 days till we purchase our aquarium!
