March 23 Tiger Barbs

The tank was set up Friday March 20, 2009. I decided to help cycle my tank with the help of some fish. So, Monday, March 23 we went down to Petco and picked up 6 Tiger Barbs. To my surprise all have continued to survive thus far. They of course have names. The biggest is Phezic. At first we thought he would be the bully. But he wasn't. However, things have changed and he's decided to be mister tough guy after all. The smallest is Tiny Tim. He seems to be pretty good at avoiding Phezic. Then we have 3 others, who all look so similar we decided to name them Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Abednego used to be the most vibrantly colored out of all of the fish and was the bully. Now they all have great color, and as mentioned before, Phezic is the bully now. The last fish we named Mr. Gimp. We thought he was a little sick when we got him. His color wasn't very great and his swimming...well, lets just say I could have taught him a thing or two.
