Our fish tank!


 This is the largest fish tank in our house. We have a lot of Guppies, 7 Cory Catfish, and 1 Chinese Algae Eater!

This is our Chinese Algae Eater. I named him Wu Ching, since he's Chinese! He's about 4 inches long. He helps eat all the green stuff that grows in the water called algae!

This is some of our Guppies. They're eating an algae tablet that's supposed to feed the catfish!

The fat Guppies are the females and the colorful Guppies are the males! The extra fat ones are pregnant! They can give birth to about 5-50 fry (baby Guppies) every 28 days! We have a lot of Guppies!

This is one of the catfish hiding. This catfish got stuck in a seashell while she was trying to clean it. I found her stuck, so my dad gently broke a little of the seashell until we were able to get her out. She scraped her back and her right eye. All the fish sensed something was wrong with her and tried to kill her! I'm not sure why animals do that. So, I put her in a net with Isabelle, (one of the catfish) so she wouldn't be lonely. After about 2 weeks they were able to be put back with the other fish!

One of the male catfish. The male catfish are smaller than the the females.

This is a Isabelle. She's the only albino catfish we have. It's a blurry picture because it's hard to get them to be still!
