Well, we got some fish for his tank...six to be exact. Three Mollies and three guppies. One of the mollies pretty much went to the bottom since we put it in the tank. Nate didn't seem to notice :) With one casualty, my husband and I were pretty sure we could still handle this fish thing.
Well, this afternoon, one of the guppies started resting his belly on the bottom of the tank...it is not looking good. I hope this does not contine at a rate of one death every 24 hours. That would be discouraging.
Alass I have entered into another realm of Mama-hood...keeping pets alive for my son. We already had the dog and cat, so I guess technically they are our pets. But the fish we bought specifically for him. I have to laugh a little, because we can already see this costing us a small fortune.
Maybe I should pile all of my receipts together so I can add up the total cost so when he asks for a hampster, gerbil, or a bird, I can look back and remember how the fish tank is going :)
how are the fish doing after week in the tank?
