One Fish, Two Fish, Red Rish, Cat Fish

Actually at my house it is dalmatian fish, mickey mouse fish, cat fish, frog.  Yep, Sullivan got "pets".  He is so happy about this.  We had been talking about it for a while but I just did not want to deal with all the mess of a tank etc...  Well, one day he said out of the blue, "Mama, I want a pet snake!"  I immediately replied, "Have you lost your ever lovin; mind?"  And he said, "Well then how about a fish?"  On Saturday while Mom was here we went yard saling.  Fun Fun!  And low and behold someone was getting rid of their 6 gal tank with ALL the stuff to go with it for $10.  So, of course being the G.G. that she is she bought it for him.  We went straight to Pet Smart to look at fish and see what we needed to do.  After cleaning the tank, filling it with water and letting it sit with some chemical we took a water sample to Pet Smart.  With tears in his eyes we left Pet smart with NO fish.  Our water had too much ammonia.  Boo.  So we put some other stuff in the tank and waited until Tuesday.  On Tuesday they gave us the Go!  Of course he wanted all the BIG fish and lots of fish.  We finally narrowed it down to a dalmatian fish(Clark), a mickey mouse tail fish(Lois) a cat fish(Superman) and a frog(Shamrock).  Man I love this kid.  He named them all and watches them swim while going to sleep.  If he is a really good boy, in about a month we will get a snail and a sucker fish.  :)  So, meet our new family members...
Please excuse the bad pictures...these guys were hard to photograph and this was my point and shoot.
