Ummmm........We Might Have a Problem!!

The good news is that Rocky is no longer lonely in his holding tank.....the bad news is we have fish coming out our ears. It started last night when we were checking on Pony because she didn't look like she was feeling well. Then we noticed a small fish about half the size of Rocky swimming by. It must have been born several weeks ago based on it's size compared to Rocky when we found him. We started to change the water and clean the tank since Pony wasn't looking good and stirred up two more that must have been recently born. This morning we found another 4 or 5 that were just as small. Pony looks like she is feeling better today, and now we think we know why. We are now in the market for a bigger tank and maybe some fishy birth control?!?!

One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Orange Fish

Brandon (and Brittany and Mommy) got a fish tank and fish for his birthday. After an initial struggle with getting the tank water balanced and a couple of casualties (R.I.P. Sunshine and Goldie), we now have an aquarium full of 8 fish (Pony, Illini, Thinny, Unicorn, Inkie, Pearl, Bubbly and baby Rocky). Yes, our fish population of 7 grew to 8 with Brandon's discovery of Rocky hiding in the rocks one morning (hence the name). Brittany said before bed that night that Pony was going to have a baby. The next morning Brandon called for Mom to see the baby fish in the rocks. After about 20 minutes, Dad was able to catch the little guy and put him in a separate holding area for his safety. He is growing well (although he is still very small - see below) and is a happy addition to our family.
