It’s been awhile since I’ve written about the status of our aquarium. That’s mostly because I’ve been very hands-off since the Great Ich Disaster. There are currently 5 survivors of the Disaster: 4 opaline gouramis and 1 little Bob (red minor tetra). I felt bad for the little Bob who was all [...]
Curses! It’s finally happened–the dreaded ich parasite has invaded my aquarium. I suppose this makes me an official aquarist now because everyone who’s ever had a freshwater aquarium gets ich at some point or another. And since it’ll kill your fish in no time, it is the bane of every aquarist’s existence.

[First of all, I would just like to say that this new game Josh bought for the Wii looks like somebody's acid trip. For real.]
We upgraded our fish tank again:
We bought two Leporinus fish, or “stripeys” as I call them. They like to hang out together, and sometimes they’ll swim vertically (common for [...]
Check it out, we’ve upgraded our aquarium. Now we have plants and 3 tetras. I think they are serpae tetras, from what I can discern from Google. Josh went out and bought them without me, and when I asked him what kind they were, he responded, “Cheap.” They’re very social and [...]
[Edit: NO, a "new addition to our household" does NOT mean I'm pregnant. Sheesh.]
Man, I am loving this new site template. Just in case you were wondering.
So Josh’s dad gave us his old aquarium because he was tired of keeping up with it. It’s a 44 gallon aquarium shaped to fit in [...]
