Meet Larry, Curly and Moe...!

You can only just see the third fish in the top, left hand corner near the filter.

This aquarium has been knocking around for a few years so after my recent clean up, I decided to reward my efforts with some new family members. I've been wanting to set it up for quite a while and now seemed as good a time as any.

I've owned fish in the past but nothing too extravagant and I thought getting a few 'platy' would be sufficient for my level of experience. (and budget)

"Platies are a freshwater live-bearing fish, very similar to a guppy or molly. They retain their eggs inside the body, giving birth to live, free-swimming young" and this is why I have an interest in keeping them. (src)

For no other reason than just because; because I've always wanted to and never have; because why not... ?

Anyhoo, the sound of trickling water has become a very welcome and relaxing background to my days and the fish have quickly become part of my 'good-morning' routine. Each morning, I already look forward to saying hello and feeding them breakfast...

AND yeah, I know...!

Small things amuse small minds...

(but it's the little things that count... right?)

XD

I didn't realise till just now, but the 'sunken bell' looks like it's wearing googly eyes!
