Aquarium

Absconders

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

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 [...]

Ich-y

Saturday, December 1st, 2007

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.

Diver Man: Unnamed Explorer of the Deep

Wednesday, May 16th, 2007

My apologies for the continually crappy-looking site. I didn’t like the way I had it, so I got the bright idea to fiddle with it on my own. Then I didn’t like the way that looked, so then I started browsing for a pre-made theme. But then the Wordpress theme site went [...]

Some people have children. We have fish.

We upgraded our fish tank yet again. But before I show you what we did with it, here is a summary of the pre-upgrade dynamics in the tank:

We have one big male opaline gourami who has established himself as Boss of the Gouramis. He cannot stand any of his brethren to be near [...]

A fish picture

Thursday, February 8th, 2007

I got a really good picture of our stripey fish tonight. They’ve grown since we got them. The internets say they can get up to 12 inches long. And don’t tell our other fish, but I think they’re the cutest in the whole tank.

The more fish, the merrier

Thursday, January 18th, 2007

[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 [...]

The aquarium gets upgraded

Monday, January 8th, 2007

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 [...]

A new addition to our household

Friday, December 29th, 2006

[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 [...]
