In the beginning...

So, here it is. The first post. Momentous, I suppose.
I am writing this at 2:27am because for some absurd reason I cannot sleep and came to the conclusion that I should start a blog. Who knows how this will go, but I'm feeling fairly positive about it.

Basically, this blog is about my aquarium. While doing some research for this aquarium I noticed that there are a lot of aquarium blogs out there in cyberspace, so why can't I have one, too? It seems like a good way for aquarists - either simply hobbyists or those with more serious, professional pursuits - to share information and chat about what we like. Now seems like a good time for me to start my own blog, since I have just set up a new aquarium into which I will soon move my current fish, which I am sure will make them very happy. Who wouldn't prefer a large, well-lit, well-oxygenated aquarium over a small, crowded one with filter issues? Yes, definitely time for a change.

This new aquarium's decor theme inspired the name for this blog, as I am sure will become apparent in the photos I will post shortly... just in case any of you were wondering why I would pick such an odd name for a blog.

Also, a little thing you should know: I like my fish, quite a lot, to the point where, more often than not, I will name them. This seems like a rather ridiculous thing for someone over the age of 13 to do, but whatever. After watching them for hours and seeing their different personalities, how could you not name them?

So, in summary. This blog will follow the adventures of my fish and myself in first the move from the old aquarium to the new, and in whatever happens next. I hope you are entertained by it all, and thank you for taking the time to check out my blog!
