Fish tank!

I swiped my old 10 gal from my parent's house this weekend.  Can't wait to set it up!  It's been a loooong time since I've had a tank going.

Photos to come once it's up and running!

Very cool! My husband has always wanteda tank. We don't have any room for it right now though.

Very cool!  Are you going to tropicals or anything specials or just gold-fishies?

Cool!  I highly recommend them - they are so fun to have around.

P.S. Your baby is adorable!

Tropicals for sure - probably schooling fish like neons or white clouds, maybe a gourami, and some algae eaters.

goodness, we inherited a few large fish tanks from dh's former roommate (we inherited a lot of stuff actually )  DH was supposed to sell them before our move here, now we're moving them again. He keeps saying "some day I'd like to have these up and running"  THESE????  No, I will not end up being responsible for "THESE" tanks. They are HUGE.

Tyler really wants a fish though. I may cave and get him one after we move and are settled. I just don't know if I can handle a HUGE tank.  Dh also wants to do salt water... love the idea, but aren't those hard to maintain? and $$$$

LoL - I hear ya!  My dad used to have multiple tanks running - a 10 gal in my room, a 20 gal in his room, and a 100 gal (I think - he still has this one and I could fit in it if I scrunched up a bit - I'm 5'1) in the family room.  He still has the big one going.  It's not too bad to keep up, but when you have multiples, it can get to be a lot of work.  Saltwater tanks are a LOT more work and a LOT more $$$

Little tanks are super easy.  Goldfish are great because they don't need a heater (or even an air bubbler) and there are a couple kinds of tropical fish, like white clouds that can live w/o a heater.  There's lots of options for easy to care for/small fishies
