Paul has been talking about wanting to get Emma a Mickey Mouse fish and being at Petsmart only fueled his fire. He spent 20 minutes talking to the fish department gal while I made dog tags. Joy.
Over lunch we talked about it a little more. Paul, of course, wants a tank with a light and a filter. Keep in mind we are getting ready to have another child and are moving this summer. We agreed though that getting Emma 2 female beta fish and an algae eater would be okay. In a glass bowl. When we move we can set her up with a real tank in her room.
Back we went to Petsmart. I found a half moon tank with a light that I thought would work well in our living room. We really wanted the tank in her bedroom, but we have a 2 story house and are rarely upstairs. What good are fish you can never see?
We let Emma pick out the fish, the rocks, 2 figurines, and a fake plant. She chose a princess in a blue dress, a starfish on a rock, and a blue fake plant with sea glass colored rocks (clearly she has way better taste than Paul or I thank goodness). She picked out a dark red beta and a green beta.
She slept for 15 minutes in the car, went right to sleep when we got home, woke up because she pooped, and that was her nap for the day. Stupid poop!
Bring on the fish! Yay something else that we have to feed and clean up after in our house.
Hi fish!
The finished product
I did tell Paul that this was all his and Emma's project. He's responsible for making sure the fish are fed and the water cleaned. The fish department gal told Paul how easily we can transport them to our new home. haha I give those poor fish a month before they are belly up.
