Watching fish.
I won't be getting a Betta anytime soon.

Last night I went to Wal-Mart with NO intentions on buying fish. I got there and I saw the guppy tank with neon tetra's and I decided I wanted one.
I watched the Neon Tetras swim around, and my mother reluctantly agreed that it was ok to get some.

There was only 3 neons left, but I only had enough for 2, So I bought 2.
Their temporary home is in a cycled 1 gallon, only until I can go off to get my 5 gallon and cycle it.

Now, before you fire any insult at me, I know that they're VERY sensitive fish and they need a heater, and 1 gallon isn't enough blahblahblah.

1. They are only there until August.
2. My room is very warm and it's enough to heat it and if it gets cold, I can just take out some coldwater and add some fresh conditioned warmer water.
3. The 1 gallon, like I said is ONLY temporary, only going to be in it for less than 2 months.
4. When I get my 5 gallon, I will get a shoal of them to make everybody happy.

They are showing good signs, though. Their colors are really bright, they've eaten every bit of food I have given them (Except for a tiny bloodworm) and they don't seem to be very shy, although, I know they would like some more frends.
Unfortunately, the only decoration I have is a castle, which will soon change. Tomorrow, my mother is going to get some hairgrass, until I can upgrade, and sometime in the future, I will add a background, like the one on the fishtank.

Unluckily for me, I was going to get my air pump Up and Running, but it broke, I tried just sticking the airtube in, but 1: It's way too noisy 2: The bubbles aren't very good. I'll be looking in to buying them something to make bubbles. I will try to filter it the best I can, and hopefully it's good.

Here is a picture of Mario and Luigi.

I'm getting the tank on saturday, but I will be in Newfoundland from June 26 to July 25, so I can't set it up until then, except for cycling.
The next one, I'm naming Bowser, then Peach, then Wario and if I decide to get 6, then the last one will be Waluigi.
 
I don't understad why you would buy the when you don't have a suitable tank yet? If it's not long untill you are getting a tank couldn't you have just waited utill you had a proper home for them to go in? :S they are in pet shops all the time...
