Before Christmas the Male Child started the process of setting up a salt water fish tank....
I thought to myself.......
"Get the stuff....fill it with salt water and drop in the fish..."
Oh No.....!
A salt water tank has to be a living ecosystem.......the water has to be chemically correct..... the rock and sand have to be "alive"...... gott'a have the correct water temp and water flow.....and there needs to be "plant life" growing.....
Well.......it's reached the stage where he can start adding living creatures.....
Enter the snails.......give'um a few days to get the tank in tip-top shape and then Male Child can add the "shrimp".....!
It's beautiful and will bring him many hours of pleasure...
CityBoy and i are very proud of his new "Ecosystem"
But....what ever happened to dropping a little gold fish in a bowl...??
Now i'm off to the bank......gott'a rob Peter to pay Paul......for the next three months!!
Enjoy
Those snails do multiply too. I can remember one of my boys with a tank full of them. Maybe the shrimp will eat them...we never had those. Have a great Monday!
ReplyDeleteWow! Very interesting! I can't wait to see how that comes along! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI think the ecosystem is neat, want more photo's.
