Live inspiration at home

Hello, hello!  I am now a proud owner of a guppy aquarium.  My first pets where I alone am solely responsible for their well being.  The photos are not great, trying to take photos of moving fishies is a bit difficult.  Thanks to Justin for the fish mentoring, helping me get and set-up all the essentials and to Rob for helping out with the set-up and coming with me to buy fish! 

I now have live inspiration for my work and a whole lot of books to better understand different fish.  Truly inspirational for the fishbone series I've been working on.  To have a better understanding on how fish actually tick and just the different looks and shapes that are out there.

I was staring at them for almost an hour.  Live fish are mesmerizing to watch and relaxing too.  I want to add in more stones and shells.  Introduce more fish in and have a gorgeous aqua scape happening.  However, I read that setting up a tank is not a sprint but a marathon and it will take quite some time for it to be successful.  A test for some like me who likes things done and dusted immediately.
