More Fishy Adventures

It's been interesting since Saturday. We've gotten four other fish, taken one back and gotten another, and did some redecorating. We added two more cichlids Monday morning: a big purple one with a black stripe on his top fin that we named Stiny (short for Frankenstein, because his head kinda looked like a Frankenstein head) and a smaller purple-ish one with a blue-ish top fin that we named Spaz because he changes direction every few seconds and is very hyper.
Later we added an albino cichlid who’s about half ‘Dini’s size and another orange-ish peach cichlid and he’s probably about the size of Hurricane. The albino one we named Herbie, after The Love Bug. But later, M started calling him Kirby instead, so that name kinda stuck. The peach one we just named Dude, because when he swims, it looks like a surfer riding the waves.
After deciding that Stiny just didn't look right in the tank, M took him back and traded him for Mr. T. He is a bit bigger than the others, flesh-colored, has a yellow top fin, and in the right light, his eyes look blue. We called him Mr. T because his top fin looked like a mohawk. At first, Houdini was the lead fish. He may still be in a way, but Mr. T is working his way up. He's comandeered the tree and only lets specific fish in, depending on his mood. Last night it was only Bubbles. This morning he was generous enough to let Spaz in as well.
Today, he went and bought a background to put behind the tank that looks like rocks. It's really neat. So we're now up to seven cichlids, two rosy reds, and one betta.

Next week is my last week of classes, then finals are the week after, then I'm free!!! Woohoo! But it ain't over 'til the fat lady sings, and her part is a couple scenes away. So, if you don't see me post that often (more so than usual), then wait until after 13 May. Then maybe I just might have more time to blog. That is, as soon as something interesting happens that is worth blogging about.
