New aquarium is starting to take shape

Our first week with the new aquarium had mixed results.  The new aquarium looks great with a mix of real plants and a couple things for the fish to swim around.  The levels are in great shape and the water is already cycling.  The bad news is we lost our first fish last night.  But, today I picked up 2 new fish; a Mickey Mouse Platy and a Black Skirt Tetra and they look great in the tank with our existing Tetra.  This weekend we will introduce Bob, our Beta in to the new tank and we’ll see how well everyone gets along.  I can see how easily this could turn in to a much larger hobby as I can already feel the limitations of a 6 gallon tank.  It seems like the more fish you have, the more fish you want.
