Inside of stand (we added the shelf and painted it)



Whole thing, set up

I will be moving my platies, swordtail, cory, guppies, and tetra over. Also the pleco we bought for a dollar (hes so little and cute :) ). After that, we arent sure.


We were wanting a dragon fish, but Im not sure if we will get one. We saw a dinosaur bichir (SP?) that we were tempted to get, but we were quickly talked out of it (they get too big, and are aggressive. Dont want my kids fish to get killed by a new fish).


We havent really made a solid decision on what new fish we are going to get.


Tho the little flounders we saw at the fish store were tempting as well (we just dont want to go brackish yet)

Thanks, lol. We saw the dragon first and decided to get it. Then saw the army man and I said "OMG! Matt (hubby). We HAVE to get that!! Put the army guy in there and make it look like he is shooting the dragon!! How epic would that be?" LMAO. We bought the army guy on the spot. It would be so cool if the gun blew out bubbles, LMAO.



The tank is still pretty bare. We need something else in there. I have some plant bulbs in there, but it will take a while for them to grow. I wasnt impressed with the plant selection at the fish shop. The plants they had were very small, and not many to choose from. Petco and Petsmart actually had better selections, but we are waiting. I dont think there are any other fish stores around here, or at least not any that specialize in fish :(

So do we. I love dragons (just look at my screenname). I couldnt pass the dragon up.


Now that I have this one in the tank, I realize we could have gone for the bigger one, lmao. (Isnt that how it always is?)
