My Aquarium

After keeping goldfish for about six years, I have decided to convert my tank back to a tropical aquarium. I missed keeping kissing gouramis the most. Therefore, my tank is centered around what fish are compatible with them. I traded in my two large fancy goldfish and received store credit in the amount of $18 for them. I was thrilled! I was expecting just a few bucks. I purchased a pair of kissing gouramis, three skunk botias, and I already had a kuhli loach and a plecostimous.

As you can see, the kissing gouramis have settled in and are smooching away!

This is a rock I found in a local creek several years ago. I think it's soooo cool. When I saw it, I shouted, "It's the Venus of Willendorf!" My husband looked at me like I had grown another head. I pulled it up out of the water and showed it to him. Then I explained what the Venus of Willendorf looked like, and he laughed and said he didn't see how I got that out of that rock, but, whatever. I like it and it makes me smile.
