Yes, here comes another story about our fish...
The fish babies are all doing well (Shark, Turtle, and Jeffrey Jr.), which is amazing considering how inexperienced we are with these little guys. Also amazing considering that the only really fun thing to do with fish is feed them, and our species of fish are most commonly killed by overfeeding! They always act hungry, too. Little Oliver Twists, always begging: "Please, Sir, can I have some more?"
Tonight I decided to clean the tank with a little vacuum I got at the store. Jeffrey reluctantly agreed to be my assistant. We guessed it would take about 5 minutes...we guessed wrong.
About 35 minutes later, (after figuring out how to use the gravel vacuum, dumping lots of water all over our counter, breaking the filter, trying to fix the filter, and figuring out that the filter wasn't actually broken but just needed more water, and cleaning up the mess) the water was clean!
We put a little more water in the tank this time than we had the first time, which caused the filter to make a little current under the water. The fish babies love it! They have been swimming up to it and letting it roll them to the bottom for the last 2 hours. It's like their own little fish roller coaster. Cute....if you're into that sort of thing.
