Well I’ve finally got my aquarium up and running. I got it for Christmas from Jacqui, then a few weeks later I got around to buying the rest of the bits and pieces I need. Another couple of weeks to get around to setting it up and filling it with water, then at the weekend I finally got my first fish!

On the right we have the first couple of fish. They’re Platies, 2 male and 2 female. They’ve settled into the tank quite nicely, so we’ll see how things progress from here. I have to leave them alone for a couple of weeks to let the beneficial bacteria grow in the filter and then I can start gradually adding more fish. I’ll also have to start getting a few decorations and plants organised too.
