The Pilgrims

Grant and I have embarked on a new adventure...a 55 gallon adventure.

As a kid, Grant had a huge fish tank, and he loved it. So now that we are settled in a house for a while, we decided to drag it out of storage and get it fired back up.

After hooking things up and getting it cleaned and filled, it finally came time to buy the first explorers. I spoke to the fish guys at the fish store, and I settled on 5 special little guys, the pilgrims if you will. They have been chosen to make sure our tank is okay and supposedly they are hardy little dudes so hopefully they will be ok :)

They are little Zebra Danio Fish. Names to come. So far so good. It takes a couple weeks before we can add more fish, and eventually we can get prettier ones, but these guys are the guinea pigs of the tank to make sure things are where they need to be to support some more sensitive fishys.

**Sorry for the awful pictures. You would not believe how hard it is to take pictures of tiny fish swimming around in water with a camera phone :)**

But I'm so excited!! 

The Sunken ship is my favorite part of the tank :) 

Update: 1 already died...back to the pet store to get a replacement. :( This is gonna be a long journey. Prayers for these little dudes are appreciated. 

:) Follow the journey on the blog! Updates to come!
