I just realized that I don't think that I have never introduced the fish 
Peaches is to the left and Bubbles to the right. I saved up my money as a freshman in high school because I wanted a Parrot Fish SOOOOO bad. Peaches was $65 through the local pet store and I had to WAIT for a month to get her shipped in.
She is the real deal. Completely sterile as a test tube, created species.
Two years later WALMART started carrying a species that is also a Parrot fish, I honestly do not know the difference if there is any, and they look very similar but are only $8
! The orange ones are natural, you can get them in other colors but they are dyed and the color fades to white because of it. Either way, I LOVE them. They are one of few species with facial recognition and they are now about big enough to make a meal out of (we won't do that but they are HUGE)! Not pictured are the 2 Angel fish, 2 Silver dollars and 2 Plecostomus fish that live with them in our 80 Gallon tank that I was forced to purchase because the Parrot fish kept out growing their tanks and would start to choke each other out
. Went from a 10 Gallon to a 29 gallon and then a 42 gallon and I decided this will be as big as we go but they have slowed down substantially in their growth.
My boys sleeping the other day.
The girls enjoying some foraging time in between rainy and gloomy days last night
Baby Roscoe is turning out to be such a handsome boy
and such a sweetheart!
Sadie just turned 10 months old!
Where did time go?
It is a SUPER hard life for our dogs... and if you look closely, the cat is nestled in there near "his" collie. While we were getting ready for the day last Saturday, they took the opportunity to sleep in. (Stella is the only one "allowed" in bed. There is an unwritten rule that if one of us is gone or neither of us are in bed, it is fair game 
But who are we kidding, that is the CATS bed, we are just allowed to use it (Cat owners know these rules)!
