Welcome Sucky

"Sucky"



I think I've finally got my aquarium set up properly. It has taken weeks (no kidding) to get this thing going. After I set it up the first time, we let it run for a few weeks and the water turned brown and was overrun with rapidly mating snails - yuck! With some consultations with our friendly neighborhood pet-shop owner, I made a few changes which included stripping the tank down and starting from scratch.

The water is now looking healthier and we added our first scout fish. The boys have appropriately named him "Sucky" because he is an algae-eater and sucks everything in sight! If he survives the week, we can add more fish. If he doesn't - then back to square one.
