Been and picked up the fish today for my girls.

They picked 4 coldwater fish each.:-4

Eldest wanted an albino frog too but they grew too large and can try and jump out of the tank so she picked a weather loach instead.

Ill post them in two seperate threads and tell you their names:rolleyes:

Chezzie, that is sooooo cute. That's the 1st things kids need to do, right? It's important to give everyone a name. What a nice idea for your girls:-6

Good luck with your fishies...

Nice pics Chez, and it is such a good idea for children to understand responsibility by having pets. So long as poor old mum doesn't have to keep looking after them, cleaning them out and feeding them - which sometimes happens :sneaky:

:rolleyes:

Exactly thats why were experimenting on the smaller aquarium. Youngest has asked for an aquarium for her birthday, type on a stand ect...Megga bucks so this is a trial till October, if I end up doing everything, it wont be happening. I dont expect them to do the partial tank clean, maybe the eldest but not the youngest , not yet, butI do expect them to feed them and take an interest.

Wow! But that's got to be a saltwater fish, right?

Yeah its a tropical fish. They range from the Red Sea to Marquesas and Tuam Islands, including Korea, Japan, and Lord Howe Islands.They can grow up to 18 inches in the wild, but seldom reach more than 12 inches in captivity. Even so, they require an extremely large aquarium of 135 to 180 gallons.

Be a while till were experienced enough to move onto tropical:o
