New fish tank, birdie pets

[Featheredsamurai]

I had to take down my 10g so I could move my dresser into my closet, so out comes the 17g with it's stand from the garage. I actually like this tank much more, but I didn't have room for it before.

Although I've had fish since 2nd grade, I now consider them more Rosie and Kenji's pets than my own XD I think they like having them to look at, I always worry about keeping them entertained while I'm not at home.

So here it is

right next to Rosie's cage and directly across from Kenji's

Three fish live in it, Loki the three spot gourami I've had for four years, Sparkle my four year old nieces goldfish which shouldn't even be in a tropical tank, and a 3" bristlenose pleco who is not yet named.

I tied the Anubias plants to the driftwood, I'm hoping they do well again. I use to have 3 very large anubias. Unfortunately I took them out for like 10 minutes and they dried out. The plants are finally coming back.

Old set ups

This is what the tank used to look like, about 2ish years ago. I'm hoping to get it really lush again. My favorite was the awesome red tiger lotus

When I adopted Kenji I had to sell my 48g aquarium to make room for his cage, here you can see how awesome those Anubias had been.

My birds enjoy looking at the fish tank when I bring them up to it. Willie used to lick the glass.

When I was a single bird household. Spirit had a tank. It was right next to his cage, he even "helped" to feed. He still asks "Where fish?" from time to time. I had to sell my tank when Danny came and he needed to go to the vets ASAP.
