I got new Fluevogs on Thursday, and on Friday John got a Fluval. This is our new fish tank. Since the fish hobby has lasted longer than I expected, it made sense to buy a tank that worked more with our decor. After having some issues with the fish in our last tank, we decided to go to a new store to aquire more fish. We ended up not buying any fish, because we learned A LOT about what was going on in our tank. The chain stores just want to sell you what they have, and when you're still a novice like we are, we didn't know some of the things we learned today. The chain store sales people probably don't even know some of the stuff we learned today. Since the tank is new, we were told not to add any new fish to the set up for several weeks. Even then, we were advised to bring a water sample so they can test the levels to see if it is suitable for adding any new fish. Instead of buying new fish, we went ahead and purchased some new accessories...Tower Bridge and two new fake plants that have better bases. The new set up looks so much nicer. When the tank is ready, I think we are going to add some neon tetras. The apple snail we bought back in January is still around, and we have two guppies left.
Though this fish thing is John's hobby, it's nice to have a tank as cool as this. The Tower Bridge was pretty darn cool, so we had to get it. It's also perfect because hanging on the wall above the tank are a couple photos I took when were in London in 2007, so it all works really well together.
