Finishing Touches On Our Aquarium

This weekend we finally bought a stand for our fish tank. Of course this meant moving it from the kitchen counter...not easy! We had an algae mishap and had to tear it down completely! Well, 3 1/2 hours later, we were done. We had to scrub everything, change the rocks, reconnect the air tubes, refill it with water...ugh! It was exhausting! But its so pretty now!
And the next day, we bought more fish! We have our older fish: 1 Guppy, 2 Mickey Mouse fish, and 1 of our 2 frogs...we have no idea what happened to 1 of them. Its a mystery to me. And we added: 2 Algae Eaters, 2 Catfish, another frog (so our old one has a buddy), and 2 Neon Tetras! So far they are doing well.
Our total so far: 9 fish, 2 frogs...we might need to add a 4 more neon tetras in a couple of weeks...they are schooling fish and do better in bigger numbers than in two's. We will see how we do with these first.

**I almost forgot! We added a volcano to our decor. It looks like "Mount Wanna-hock-a-loogey" from Finding Nemo! LOL! And our fish love swimming through the rush of air bubbles coming from the top of it. Its funny! (Its on the front right side).
