We bought our son a fish tank and 4 fish for Christmas this past year (he had been asking for some fish for 6 months!). We ended up with 2 Mickey Mouse Platys (one yellow, one orange), 1 Wag Platy (reddish-orange) and a BEAUTIFUL lyretail creamsicle Mollie. They all seem to get along. The mollie sometimes chases the other three. My son didn't show much imagination with regards to naming the fish. Their names are Mickey, Minnie, Wags and Molly. He was only 2 at the time, so I guess I should give him some slack.

We've been able to keep the fish alive, but for the life of me I CANNOT keep live vegetation alive in this tank. Even with the special gro-lite! Aaargh!!

I tend to be a dog person, but I find myself mesmerized by our fish.
