New project.

So... my newest up and coming project........ PIRANHA! Yes I know.... but I can not wait! So, I decided that I would do (or try to do) a weekly journal so I can map the progress of these little burgers. I just saw them for the first time today. They are smaller than the gold fish I have in my tank at the moment to make sure that the water had balanced out.

About a month ago, I bought a 55 gallon fish tank, stand, filter and a couple other supplies from a very nice couple off of craigslist (which has become my new addiction!). What was the damage you might ask? $50. Yes, I am the queen of bargain shopping! I had to drive about 45 minutes one way with my good friend Karle to get the big thing, but it was worth it. Since we took my old truck (the Nissan) and since dad took the stereo and speakers out of it, my big mouth was the entertainment and he knows I will be glad to entertain, since the first words when we got in the truck were- sing it woman!!!

Today, I picked up a dozen gold fish from the pet store, had the man order me some more rocks, got an additional decoration for the tank, and added water. I had gotten a dozen gold fish from wal-mart about a week and a half ago to make sure the water was ok for the piranha, they have been dieing slowly for the last week (because they are cheap, not because of the water) so I decided to flush them and get some fresh ones that came from a man I trusted. So far so good! We will see what the verdict is in the morning.
