Photographs of Iain's aquarium

Iain is an amateur aquarist. He has worked very hard at building this tank up. He received the 20-gallon tank for Christmas 2005 to replace an old small purple kid's tank that had originally belonged to Alison. When he needs fish food, or wants to buy a new fish, he works VERY hard around the house (we don't start allowance until age 10, so he's still at the "extra chores for extra money" stage). He's a hard working boy and stacked a cord of wood by himself this winter!

The first photograph is an overview of the tank. The black and silver striped fish are black neon tetras; in front of the castle is a female cherry barb, and to the right are guppies and Iain's male Dwarf Gourami.

The second photograph is a close-up of the male Dwarf Gourami (the female was elusive during our photography session; she is plain silver in colour). The two deep red fish are the male cherry barbs, and there is a flash of blurry male guppy above the gourami.
