Aqua Update: A Dalmatian Molly

I've finally filled up my tank! I took another trip on Friday to Eddie's Aquariam Centre and picked up the final fish for my ten gallon aquarium. This purchase? A Dalmatian Molly. Each time I visit, I query the staff about what fish would go well with my past acquisitions. They gave me a lot of options and I spent some time just gazing in the stock tanks to see what would be the most attractive fish for me to acquire.

Last visit, I had resolved to purchase a molly, but I was unsure as to whether it would be a Dalmatian or a Sunburst. When I arrived this time (with Tuppence in tow), I was informed they were out of Sunburst Mollies. That made the decision fairly easy. Two days later, the fish seems like it is adjusting well to the new environment. However, he does keep trying to bite my heater, which is a bit odd. The other fish get along with him just fine.

In the area of new things to do:

• I still would like a new hood for the tank. I hate the yellowish tinge the incandescent bulb gives the tank, and the little flip-up door for feeding is rather annoying.
• I was talking to Tuppence's father and he was talking about live plants. I had originally wanted live plants, but backed away from the idea for simplicity sake. However, now that I have things up and running, I may revisit the idea. I've also got to check and see how compatible my tank occupants are with this plants.
• Small accent decorations for the foreground of the tank.

Current tank occupants:

1. Two Red Serpae Tetras
2. A Blue Dwarf Gourami
3. A Spotted Catfish
4. Three Longfin Zebra Danios
5. A Dalmatian Molly
