Meet Mr. Fish

This is Mr. Fish....he is the showcase of our lovely new 40 gallon fresh water aquarium.  I don't know if he's actually been named by the kids yet, but I call him Mr. Fish.  And honestly, he may be a Mrs. Fish but I don't really know how to tell the difference so we are going to go with Mr. Fish, until otherwise proven wrong  :_

The whole fish community - Mr. Fish, Black Bug Eye fish, Calico fish, and (not pictured) trooper and sucker fish.  Trooper is our smallest fish but he is the fish that lasted 6 days without food while we moved into our new house.  Hence the name, trooper.  He has outlasted many other fish that have been put to rest in the Peters household.  Sucker fish, well, he's a plecostymus aka Algae eater.

We were given the aquarium from a great friend who no longer needed it.  Justin and Kate had been wanting a larger aquarium so it was the perfect timing! 

Oh.....if you look closely by the rock, you can see trooper.  Honestly, I have never gotten attached to fish.  But these guys (or gals) are so animated and approach the glass the minute you stop to look.  They play games with each other during the day (odd I know but its very peaceful to watch them).
