About a month before I had the miscarriage Patrick decided it would be fun to have a fish tank. So we drove out to our local Pet Smart and got a 20 gallon tank and all the supplies. Seven months, two filters, and who know how many fish later we now have it all worked out. We decided we loved the durability of the Cory Catfish and the social Molly Fish.
The only thing we didn't think about was that the Mollys are live bearers and they spend the majority of their life pregnant. Barely two weeks after we got our black and white dalmatian pair the female gave birth and we found ourselves struggling and only rescuing about 4. We got another 10 gallon tank to house them but unfortunately they didn't live through the transfer.
Wednesday we stopped by Pet Smart to get two more female Mollys and they gave us 9 baby fry for free. So now we have 7 catfish and 16 mollys. Not sure what we're going to do when the baby fry get bigger but I guess we'll have to try finding them homes or selling them to the pet stores out here. So if you're interested let me know!
