More guppies! Oh where have all the Pachi gone?

I am proud to announce the arrival of two new citizens: Nero and Trajan! Yes, both of them are guppies..... Originally, I was just going to get more neon tetras, but then the fish-store-person warned me that I had to get five. FIVE.  Yes, I know they're schooling fish but FIVE?! I don't have enough room in my tank! The only way I could do that is by selling Zeus.... but that's weird to think about. He's the ruler of the Underwater Empire! Although it is a smart idea because he's getting so big! Maybe, maybe.... If I did sell him, I'd probably replace him with a pleco that stays small, and probably more exotic! Like a Zebra Pleco! I also cleaned my tank, (after avoiding it for weeks).

Don't forget to vote on the weekly poll!  LAST DAY! (Sidebar >>>>>>>>)

Clean tank!

ZEUS

Nero

Trajan

Exciting news!!!

It is my pleasure to announce that I have gotten two new fish today! Their names are Augustus and Hippocrates. Augustus is a pinky-orangey guppy with white streaks on his tail, and Hippocrates is a itty-bitty baby yellow apple snail. The reason why I got another snail is because Socrates' shell is growing algae, and I saw at the fish store that the little snails were cleaning the bigger snail's shells. So I'm hoping they'll be dearest buddies. :)  (I even made their names rhyme!!) I'll add some pictures to this post soon!

A Happy Tank with NEW FISH.

We welcomed FOUR new fish to the aquatic kingdom today- 2 male fancy guppies, 2 neon tetras! No longer will Athena and the remaining Pachus be lonely. The new tiny baby neon tetras will (as their ancestors) will collectively known as 'Pachus'. With the guppies, I am fond of the names Nefertiti,
Akhenaten, Caeser Augustus, Constantine, Septimus Severus, Trajan, Romulus, Remus, or Messala. I really dont know yet, but i'll keep you updated!! Meanwhile, my cousin is starting a tank of her own with my old 10 gal!

The legacy continues

Welcome Hatchepsut & and Hades!!!

Welcome Hatchepsut & Hades, my two new male guppies!!! (Hat-chep-soot and Hay-dees) At first, Hades was going to be named Alcibiades or Peracles, but I kept forgetting how to pronounce his name and it just wasn't sticking. I renamed him Hades: god of the underworld in Greek Mythology, which I think is much more fitting considering his coloring. Well, they will surely make my take a happy one for the upcoming (on Wednesday) one year anniversary!!!

Introducing.....

Pachus 4

Just to give you an idea about his size...

Yes! The rumors are true! I bought two new fish this morning! After the recent disappearance of Pachus 2, Pachus 3 looked very lonely. So I bought him a friend: Pachus 4!! He is very long and skinny. The other fish is a gorgeous julii cory catfish, he is so small!!! Now Xerxes will have a friend! I have left the naming up to YOU (yes, YOU!) all you have to do is vote for your favorite name on the sidebar. I will at last give him a name in one week, so vote ASAP! If you are curious about what all of the names mean here's a "guide":

Homer:  An ancient Greek epic poet who is believed to have written the Lliad and the Odyssey, inspiring the invention of the Greek language

Romulus /Remis: Twin Brothers who are central characters in Rome's foundation myth. After being abandoned by their mother, a pack of wolves apparently found them and raised them. They wanted to found a city on Palantine hill. They fought over who would rule the city, which ended up with the death of Remis. Romulus then name the city after himself, Rome.

Achilles: A hero of the Trojan war

Hades: God of the underworld, brother of Zeus

Sparta: A city in Greece, famous for their military power

Pan: God of Shepards and Pastures

Apollo: God of the Sun

Athena: Goddess of War and Wisdom

Iris: Goddess of rainbows

Nike: Goddess of victory

My personal favorites for this fish in particular are Homer-Pan (Homer, Socrates, Romulus, Remis, Achilles, Hades, Sparta, and Pan) I also LOVE the name Tiberious for this fish in particular, but I thought of it after the poll was made. It just fits! If you like that name too, don't vote and I'll probably just name him Tiberious.
