A few years ago we decided to let Luke and Sophie have fish tanks in
their own rooms. Sophie had a gold fish before this in a traditional
plastic bowl but it seemed a bit small and she wanted some more fish, so
she now has a Cold Water aquarium. In her tank she can have a number of
types of fish including the standard gold fish.
Luke on the other hand wanted to have a Tropical (warm water) aquarium
which offers a far wider selection of fish, but is a little bit harder
to maintain and more expensive to run and stock. Luke actually has two
tanks now, a small quarantine tank which allows us to treat sick fish,
quarantine new arrivals, also allows pregnant fish somewhere to have
their babies safely and a much larger main tank .
The dedicated pages for each of them show what fish they have and some
of the lessons we have learnt together on the journey in getting these
established, including the water leak and how we fixed it!
