We were looking forward to sharing with you our excitement about our new 10 gallon fish tank which we got from friends recently, complete with fish. We decided to personalize it by adding some new marine life to the family of tetras, suckerfish, and catfish our tank came with, and we bought a snail and a goldfish that D picked out.
Unfortunately, it seems that our new goldfish (technically, her accompanying water) has infected our entire tank with the fishy disease “Ich” and within a matter of hours of noticing the white spots on all of the fish, we lost our 4 tetras. We have since treated the tank and are hoping not to lose anyone else.
Quinn and Declan love the tank, we all do, and we spend lots of time in the foyer watching what’s going on in there. My favorite tank-member is our new snail that Declan named “Puffy Muppy” – so cool to see the mouth at work all along the walls of the tank.
(PLEASE NOTE: I changed the picture of Grandma Chandler with a much more flattering one in the last blog. Thanks for the great photos, Mom!!)

“Beware of ICH!”
You can see here that Quinny’s getting the hang of snowball fights. This was an especially warm winter day last week – we even picnicked outside!
Declan loves to clean – here he is in action!
