so we have a fish now

His name is Schultzy. He’s my brother’s fish, but because we’re *us*, he was quickly adopted by the whole family.

don't worry, the bowl is temporary

also included, but not shown: 1 five ten-gallon aquarium (arriving via FedEx tomorrow), a hood, filter and gravel vacuum, 2 plastic plants, 1 water testing kit, 1 notebook for tracking the nitrogen cycle, 1 batch of homemade fish food, 2 memberships to online goldfish forums, and waaay too much knowledge about the breeding, history, anatomy, digestion and behavior of Carassius auratus auratus.

But who am I kidding? I love this stuff.
