aquarium established

twenty-seven years and one million words

We had a brief visit with the Seabrights out in "Poshawa" and came home with an aquarium.

Rich is a pro aquarist who's bred and sold various varieties over the years. Now it's the turn of a young puppy* in his home so they needed to find a new keeper for their decade+ old aquarium. There's a clown loach in this tank that's 13 years old!

Along with the aquarium I've been given several books and I hope to do justice to these long-lived fish and Rich's amazing generosity. They seem a bit confused about the new source of food (I use pellets, they're used to flakes). But otherwise they made the transition well enough.

*The puppy and Kenny had a complex first meeting. Kenny likes animals but still isn't comfortable around them—this little pooch in particular had him pretty twitchy.
