the goldfish are finally here in buffalo. i transported them in a newly obtained 15 gallon rubbermaid container. they were not very thrilled about the trip, and i could hear them trying to flip themselves out on the way up. they were a bit muted when i finally put them in their new tank (i had to spend some time slowly equalizing the temps), but i imagine they will be their normal feisty selves shortly.
the new tank is double the size of their old one. amanda is fearful that they will immediately take advantage and double in size themselves.
next weekend, the catfish will arrive. they don’t really need much more space, so i think we will get a large school of guppies or neons to occupy the upper parts of their new tank. i also need to harvest some slate from the outside to give the catfish more hidey holes to play in.
