So, because we dont have enough going on in the Steedly house thought..what the heck, let's get some fish! :)
Ty has been wanting some fish so after some consideration and several walks past the Walmart fish isle ..we ditched walmart and went to PetSmart :)
We an orange goldfish and a less orange and black one. The orange one, was Goldie (of course) and the other one...Fishy.
Fishy lasted about a week before he went to the PetSmart in the sky. Ty wasnt too upset, since we had set him up for the possibility from the onset.
We replaced Fishy with a white goldfish, this one was named ...Whitey :)
Whitey didnt last three days, and so we began planning the third trip to the pet store in two weeks. This time, Ty surmised that since Goldie was the only one that was still alive, maybe we should only get ones that are orange :) Good idea.
That didnt last too long, as we ended up with another white/black combo, but a much bigger one in hopes of him being able to deal better than the others. He was named, of course ...Biggie.
Ty also set his eye on the 13 cent tiny white fishes that were actually to feed large koi goldfish, but I didnt tell him that. We got a couple of those, so that our tank was nice and full.
We had Goldie (she is a trooper), Biggie and the tiny ones all looked the same so the boys made it easy on themselves and named them all The Little Bitties.
The little fishy family was doing well, until one of our little friends thought he would get to know them better by removing them from the fish tank the other day :) We lost The Little Bitties (rest in peace little ones) but Biggie and Goldie are still hanging in there. :)

just an FYI you should only have about 1 inch of fish (guess how long they are head to tail) per gallon of water. Your tank looks like a one gallon tank. The pictures on the boxes are misleading. Sorry, my mom was a fish tank nut and I'm full of worthless fishy knowledge.
HA!!! That's a LOT of important life lessons all wrapped up in one little fish tank. (I love the fish names by the way. VERY clever!) hee hee
