Hey Ya’ll! It’s been an eventful last week. I have guppy fry! This is my first time taking care of baby fish. I ran out and got a 5 gallon tank kit to house them in. Here are a few vids [Guppy fry born 2-16-14 - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-G7MsaU1B0) So CUTE!!!😃 ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ 'Tis 50 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 77 and sunny for the day. I’ll take it! **Apes** I am confused. What are you sellin’? Guppies? I see those in bait shops all the time. TP? Will that be like a mail order TP bidness? Will next day delivery be guaranteed? So many things to ponder here! Ok, maybe I need more caffiene. Rumbly tummy tells me it demands sustenance. Then, alas and alack, irk purtification must commence. Happy [Hump Day](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWBhP0EQ1lA) Y’all! Just. Does. Not. Get. Old. ---

Blurf. Oil truck finally delivered early afternoon yesterday. Of course, we are now having daytime highs 55F+, which is warm enough for the heat pump to kick in. :rolleyes: ---

> [@swampbear](#): > > **Apes** I am confused. What are you sellin’? Guppies? I see those in bait shops all the time. . Those are feeder guppies you see in the bait store. I have “fancy” guppies which you can get at most pet shops starting at $2.00 a piece. If you get a neat color pattern or tail shape they cost even more. Guppies come in endless color combos and tail shapes and people are willing to pay for unique looking fish. Here is some info is anyone is interested [http://www.guppychicago.org/guppy-types/](http://www.guppychicago.org/guppy-types/) ---

Surfing pig! I’m sorry. As cute as that is, “Oh the Pig Pig Pig, Pig is the Wig” doesn’t have the same impact. And I doubt Paul Reubens would dance to it. **Apes** , fish are fine, but you can’t play with, pet, or cuddle them. ---

I have to agree about fish. I’m going to have to miss work today, due to near-total lack of sleep last night and a need for someone to be home to deal with a visit from maintenance (the AC has not only ceased to cool, but has taken to heating). DH can take the afternoon watch on the maintenance front, but can’t be home this morning due to a major test he has to take. ---

On the other hand, none of my fish have ever crapped on the carpet or woken me up whining to be fed… Have you checked if the local shops will buy guppies off you **Apes**? I don’t want to me negative, but it is probably the fish they get offered most often, and a lot of places round here won’t pay for them unless you have loads in a really in-demand colour. Today I have been mostly trying to tidy up my room. I need to clear space for all the vegetable plants that will be taking over in the next few weeks… The first tiny tomato plant is up already 🙂 ---
