A Trip to the Pet Store

Hello there!!! We set up our aquarium over the weekend and had to wait 48 hours to get fish.  So yesterday evening we went to PetSmart to buy fish.  The pet store is almost always an exciting trip.  We got to look at the fish and the birds, reptiles and rodents... The kids always ask plenty of questions and it is a fun time.
Here the children are looking at a ball python and a bearded lizard.
Abram had a blast with the parakeets, on the front the cage is glass and on the side the cage is open.  When one of the parakeets would fly over to hold on to the cage, Abram would yell, "Hey! Whatcha doing?" And the bird would fly away, he LAUGHED and LAUGHED!
What we came for... the fish.
We went home with 2 angel fish, a sucker fish, 2 shark with black tips called bela sharks, and one albino shark.  Needless to say we stayed in the semi-aggressive tropical fish family.
Here is just a sweet picture as we were finishing up our trip through the bird aisle...
And YEP, it was counted as school!

your new aquarium

Chas~ don't want to rain on your getting an aquarium but you need to wait quite a bit longer than that to be able to put fish in. We set ours up about a year ago. We were told that you need feeder fish for the first 6-8 weeks and then after your water is tested and is okay then you can get fish. We ended up having to wait almost 10 weeks as our ph wasn't right yet. They are definately beautiful when you finally get them all set up, especially at night when the house lights are out. It seems like it just glows..hope you enjoy your new aquarium. We are loving ours even though it is hard work with keeping it healthy for the fish.
Blessings,Joann
