just keep swimming (literally) -our fish

i havent posted in a while! happy easter everybody! ( if you dont celebrate easter, then happy days off) i havent been on the computer in a while... idk if i was unconcienly taking a break or not. my easter was good, i go to see my cousins, and hang out with them.
we go baby fish at my house! we have 9-10 that are smaller than rice grains! and we have 4 larger ones! they are sicklids, (fish type, freshwater) and are called convicts. this is for a reason.
a) they have black stripes on semi white/clear bodies, and b) they are territorial and can be aggressive.
but they are kinda cute. my dad LOVES fish. we have 6 full tanks in the living room, and one empty one that we dont use, (storage) 1 55 gallon, 1 50 gallon, 1 20 gallon, and 3 ten gallons. i think that the empty one is 50 or 55 gallon. in the basement, we have one 50 or 55,  one 30 and one 10.
crazy, right?
dad says that he can see me as a future aquarist. (idk how to spell. a-quer-e-ist) this makes me really happy. we have recently re-done 2 of the tanks, and i did a lot of work. one of the tanks was mine, the other my moms. we only have 1 freshwater tank, the others are salt. we only have fish in 3 out of 6. but, we need to get a fish for my sisters tank, and one for the other big tank. we are thinking of getting a yellow tang.
we have 4 larger convicts, and one of them is bigger than the others, and he is getting territioral.
i named them after lord of the rings, (EPIC) biggest: gandlf (might become sauron if we need to seperate) next largest: aragorn, next: sam, he ate first and is kinda fat  smallest: frodo.
in out dining room we have a really old gateway computer, that we dont use. we might get rid of it and put tanks there. lol.
i also have 3 pet water frogs. so cute. i guess i can tell about them later! i dont want to bore you with our familiys aqarium!
