On Saturday, the 7th, I cleaned my room and, more importantly, the fish tank.  This was the first time I’d actually taken the tank out since putting it in the wall.  I decided to ditch the stones and rocks.  I cleaned off the shells and put the big rock back in.  It looks much more modern and “clean” now.  Cleaning it should be much easier since the poop has nowhere to hide any more.

This goldfish is getting very large.  When I bought him he was a tiny black moore.  Now he is a big goldfish.  Apparently this happens to them with stress and artificial light. 

The funny thing is, I was all worried about how I was going to get this guy out of the tank to clean it.  I figured he’d thrash around and make a mess like the catfish I used to have (or any other fish, really).  To my surprise this fat lazy fish just acted oblivious to the fact he was getting lifted out of the water by a giant hand from nowhere.  Turns out you can pet this fish and he doesn’t care. 

Of course the white snails in the tank are getting bigger too, but you can’t see them in the photo because they were huddling near the top of the tank.
