Good morning folks. It's cold and dark here in California still, but the sun will be up today and it will be another warm day. This is about the time of year we usually have an Indian summer and it's coming on. If I can get the wife out of bed I'm going to take her fishing today.
Some people think it's weird that I keep fish as pets, but I also go out and catch fish, kill fish, and eat fish. These are folks who got all their hamburger from the grocery store and don't understand anything about animal husbandry. Also raising fish allows you to study fish and this makes you a better fisherman.
I ordered a new 30 gallon aquarium which will come in next week. You don't normally have to order them but this is a shape nobody carries.
That big silver dollar is over 14 years old but the koi angelfish & the baby pleco are both new. There's a big fat plecostomus hiding back in the weeds.
This tank is 15 years old. I need to take my fish out of it, scrape out the old silicone and re-seal it. But I bought a new one for
until I feel like spending a whole day scraping silicone.
* any experienced fish keeper will tell you that the aquarium itself is usually the least expensive part of the whole business. The glass aquarium bare was 60 bucks, custom built. The 4 fish in it are not rare or expensive yet they
are still worth more.
You all have a great day folks!
