We purchased the 10-gallon tank the day before. The water needed to warm up before we bought fish. We headed back to Pet Extreme last night to buy our new family members. We allowed Evan to hold the bag o' fish while Dad got the tank ready.
We had to let the bag of fish sit in the tank for 20 minutes before we actually opened it to set them free into their new environment.
Time's up. Ready or not, here is your new home!
I think you can see Carly and Wennie. Or is that Inky and Zuna? Hmmm. I'm not sure I can tell them apart just yet!
The lid goes on, and the bubbles come down.
This is pretty much all the interaction Evan is going to get with the new family members. We didn't have a choice but to put the tank up very high. The shortest Forcey has an exceptional knack for climbing and reaching things we never thought he'd reach. So for now, the fish tank and its inhabitants are nestled above the t.v. next to the DVR, DVD, and computer server until Hudson can learn to keep his sticky little hands off it.
I hope our new family members are feeling at home. I would hate to think they are homesick for Pet Extreme. I think the little fake plants help to liven the place up a bit. It adds just the right touch of whimsy. I'm sure we'll all be best pals in no time!
