Keeping an Aquarium...

1000110922.png

 

I bought a Ten Gallon Aquarium, back

around 1971, but it had a crack in the glass...

We went back to

 

 

 and they had no more 10 gallon

starters, so they gave me a 15.

 

It was a Metaframe tank, and I got

an under gravel filter, and a nice

Metaframe incandescent hood.

 

I eventually kept all the fish pictured in the gif above ...

The Elephant Nose was a new purchase by

 Mike Carpenter, my Hutch Tech Electronics partner. We put it in my tank briefly while we played Basketball...but it jumped out of my tank and died.

The Aquarium sat on top of my Dad's Silvertone

Phono AM/FM Shortwave Wire Recorder

Console, which was solid Mahogany.

favorite album .. Sizzling Strings...

HOT DAWG album ...

 

I had live plants, and even a crawfish

and some dace minnows from

Cattaraugus Creek in Arcade, NY.

 

Ever swim in a creek with a diving mask ?

Try it !

 

I learned how to swim underwater,

Backfloat, and side-stroke in

Cattaraugus Creek...
