The Gomez Family Grows

Okay - so before I start rumours about myself, Jeremiah and I are *not* expecting a child. Nor did we get a dog or a cat. No, we have grown by leaps and bounds.

Our family quickly grew from just the two of us to
- the two of us - Jeremiah and Sarah
- seven guppies, 3 male, 4 female - Mom, Pop, Flash, Angel, Dark Angel, and two unnamed wonders
- four red platys - Uno, Dos, Tres, and Quatro
- two albino corydora catfish - Al and Bino
- one bala shark - The Fonz
- one algae eater - Sludge
- one angel fish - unnamed
- two bubble mollies - Faddy McFaderson and the unnamed
- one dwarf gourami - still to be named

Yes! We got our fishtank!! It's fun to watch new life in the house. In fact, rumour has it, one of my guppies might pop some babies!!

Unfortunately, in setting up a tank, it takes time to get the levels right and with the fish store being 2 hours away, the fish are up against some tough odds. Especially when one gets left in the car for an extra hour (apologies and regrets, our dead angel fish friend). In the week since the fish have been in our care, we have lost six (RIP to all of you- May you never forget our true love for you). Fortunately, the rest seem to be of a tougher breed.

Here's The Fonz, swimming in all his silver shimmering glory

A group shot: Uno, Dos, Tres, Quatro, Angel (RIP, Angel), Faddy McFadderson, and Mom (in the foreground)
Mom (not yet, but I'm expecting --- er, SHE'S expecting!!)
Pop - at least he will be once Mom decides it's time - sorry about your tail, little friend (someone thought it looked like a tasty treat...)

FLASH, hiding in the leaves

Sludge and his sidekick Al (Bino, may YOU rest in peace)

Tres, and his two sidekicks, the unnamed wonder guppies (RIP, both of you -I'm sorry there was no time to give you names!)
Dark Angel, sister of deceased Angel - see the slight black tail outline?
