The Rise of Chub Chub

At the start of the school year, Little Kat and I purchased some large goldfish for Momoko's classroom. The fattest one of these was Chub Chub. We stuck the fish in Momoko's 10 gallon school fish tank. These large goldfish have grown during the school year.

For Christmas break, we decided to take the goldfish home. At first we stuck them in a 10 gallon tank in the basement. Then me and the kids went to the pet store and bought a 20 gallon tank for the goldfish. We also picked up a powerful but quiet filter for the tank.

After taking down the Christmas tree, we rearranged the furniture in our living room. This opened a spot in the corner for Chub Chub. Momoko tried buying a fish tank stand online. It turns out to be unstable. So we went back to the pet store and bought a study wood fish tank stand.

While setting up the tank for Chub Chub and the other goldfish, Little Kat declared that there was a piece missing from the air filter. I told Momoko we would return to the pet store for a replacement. Kit Kat said she knew a trick, and found the missing piece inside the filter. Now we have Chub Chub and friends in a roomy fish tank. Let's hope they don't need an upgrade to a 30 or 50 gallon tank too soon.
