Completed Tank Setup
Well it only took about three-and-a-half months, but on Friday I finally got my tank setup the way I envisioned it when I started. Mostly. I went to the store with what was left of my Christmas allotment to get some GloFish, which were originally supposed to be the central focus of my tank. I had wanted to get two of each color (red, green, and orange), but they only had one green. I could have dealt with skimping on the orange or maybe the red, but the greens are my favorite so that wasn't going to fly. I was debating just buying zebra danios minus the fluorescent colors when I noticed long-finned zebra danios in the tank below them.
I was mesmerized.
I've always thought danios were cute the way they dart around the tank chasing each other, but the long-fins are so much more graceful. Not that they don't dart around the tank, but they seem to flow more when they do it.
So, I went home the proud papa of six long-finned zebra danios. And a can of TetraMin. They seem to be happy in their new home and their tank-mates seem to have welcomed them just fine (they're swimming around the bottom with the corys as I type). So with that, my first aquarium is officially "complete."
Now, what to change? I still have $13...
