New Fish
We got four new fish for our empty fish tank. Two goldfish and two Tiger Sharks. They were in the same tank at the pet store so we figure they get along. We also needed to buy a filter since the last one we had was a joke. But the pet store didn't have the small size. He said he would have it the next day. We are a bit lazy I guess. We didn't want to make another trip to the store, so we went for the medium.
The medium filter is about the same length as our tank. And it is about half as wide. So basically it takes up half of our fish tank. And it looks like a sunken submarine. When Steve put it in the tank, Micah came in to the room and told me, "The filter is so ugly." But the real fun began when we turned it on. It is so powerful that it sucks the fish into the tornado and they go flopping around. It is quite humorous to watch actually. The poor fish try to avoid it, by swimming with all their might. But eventually they get sucked in. Then they get blown into the glass wall. So we only turn it on for a few minutes to give them oxygen and a little exercise, then we turn it off. They look so peaceful when it is off.
The moral of the story is, "If you have a small tank, get a small filter."
