(That title should be read in the voice of Alan Rickman playing Hans Richter).

We got a fishtank on Saturday. Set it up, filled it up, added random bottles of chemicals to kill the bad stuff in the shitty water we are forced to use...and looked at it. No fish.

Sunday, I went out and got 10 neon tetras and a bunch of plants. Popped them into the tank (after letting them acclimatise for hours), and watched.

They were relatively happy, until this morning, when one was throwing itself into the filter intake (a-la nemo), and another was .. sleeping in the bushes.

Cleaned them out, and the remaining 8 seem happy enough.

    About a week later, and we have decided to add a Betta (Siamese Fighting Fish) named Sam(my), a Pleco named Edgar, and another 7 tetras. One of the tetras was found in the intake pipe last night, gonna have to do something about that.

    How are the fish - still living? Would love fish, but my kids would drive me nuts with it...
