Our New Hobby - FISH!

Did anyone else pick up any new hobbies during the pandemic? I know we did! I've always loved fish but never had the time to get an aquarium started up, until Covid came along! I'm so happy we decided to invest in this...I love all of our little creatures!

Keep reading to learn all about our aquatic friends.

We started out with a small tank and a couple fish to keep us entertained, but it has turned into a full time job! We now have a 20 gallon tank with 8 fish (7 Molly’s and 1 Sword) and 2 cleaner fish (not pictured).  

We love it though! It’s been quite an entertaining journey needless to say. We even had one fish…wait for it….change genders…YUP! We didn’t even think it was possible, but we took pictures and showed the employees at our local fish store and sure enough, our female Molly fish turned into a boy! So weird. In case you’re wondering, the first fella in the photos is the culprit (he is called a Dalmatian Molly, hence the black and white detailing). He has ended up being one of our most beautiful fish though. We originally wanted all females to prevent reproducing, but inevitably we now have 7 females and one male…always something lol. One of our fish (I think) is pregnant as such (see photo 4), and it will likely keep happening to other fish. Just one fish alone can have dozens and dozens of babies (between 40-100) though, so we’re in for a treat soon. 

Molly (our dog, not to be confused with the fish - although maybe that’s why we were so attracted to the “Molly” fish) enjoys watching them too. We find her sitting next to the tank quite often, but she actually gets jealous when we pay more attention to them!
