Proud Father

[Westie]

I've been trying to raise and breed fish for what seems most my life. Some times successfully. We'll, trying to keep the hobby going I bought my 12 yr. old daughter a 5 gal. tank for x-mas. I took her to the LFS, carte blanche. She picked up 4 guppies, 2 orange, 2 black. Her enthusiasm dwindled and she had to be reminded to feed them and, when her favorite orange guppies died she became really unhappy.

Till last night. We get home and I tell her to feed her fish and she starts screaming,"I got babies! I got babies! One, two, three..What do I name them all?!" 14 total. Now she is really enthused. Little eyeballs with tails darting about. The little capitalist in her has come out too and, she likes the idea that she can sell the ones she doesn't like to the LFS. I think I'm going to put her tank next to the Discus so they can get the idea because, the lava light ain't working! I'm a proud papa!

Thats great Westie. Guppies are an excellent choice of fish to get kids really into tropical fish. Thats how i got started, and i still have one tank with guppies and platys that i keep saying i will get rid of, but dont. Livebearers are definately alot of fun, and much easier than discus.

I love the excitement kids show when something like this happens. Makes it all worthwhile.
