New Members of the Barber Family!

We have added some new members to the family! 
Home to 19 fish!

Cori asked for a fish tank for her birthday. (see Cori's Fish) It only took her a month to kill all the fish in her tank. So we decided to move the tank to the living room so everyone can enjoy the tank, (and Nate and I can ensure their safety). This has quickly become MY fish. Nate and set up the tank and decorations. I got to pick out all the fish and I am the one who usually feeds them. Here are a few pictures of our new fish. We started with 3 blank molly's, 3 mickey mouse (which are orange and have black spots that looks likes Mickeys face), 3 white skirt tetras and 1 catfish. We have had them 3 weeks and tonight we added 3 more catfish, 3 xray tetras, and 3 black skirt tetras. Nate would not let me buy the sharks I wanted.....

More Fish Part 2!

Cori's Tank with FISH!
Nate, Cori and I go to the pet store to pick out a few more attractions and her fish. She had 20 fish picked out. The "cute" (as Cori called him) fish guy was very helpful and friendly. He was also a teenager. Cori was asking him all kinds of questions and hanging on his every word. Anyway on with the fish..... On fish guys recommendation we only got 9 fish and will get more in a week or two. 

White Mollys
To Start we have 3 while Molly's. 1 male and 2 females.
A pregnant Dalmatian Molly
Next we got 3 Dalmatian Molly's. 1 male, 1 female and 1 preggo female. While Cori was picking out fish the guy asked which ones she wanted and if she wanted any that were preggo. She said YES! So in a couple of weeks we will have even more fish. 

PetSmart, where we bought the fish, had told my mother in law that they only sell same sex fish to keep them from reproducing......Clearly that is not the case for this store. The fish guy also said he had never heard of such nonsense. 
We have brought all fish home and are all safely in the tank. They even made it safely thru the night. 
Here are a few more picture from the fish adventures!

Fish, Fish and more Fish!

Check out Cori's new Fish Tank


Can't find the fish? Because we have to wait 2 days to add the fish after purchasing the tank. 
Check back in a few days when we get back from the fish store. 

Cori has been wanting a fish tank in her bedroom for a while now.
She researched her fish, went shopping with her grandma to learn about what fish to go in what kind of tank, and google'd tons of fish stuff. She is as ready as she can be to add some fish.

She has a 20 gallon tank, lights, heater, blue rocks and tropical (bright) plants. We still have to add the background to the tank (and the fish).
