At the beginning of March my Nanny bought Grafton an Oscar fish because he drew her a picture of a fish for her birthday.
At the time he fit nicely in the 3 gallon tank she bought for him, but five months later he had definitely outgrown it!
I was seriously considering finding him a new home (which made me sad because he's a really friendly fish & we'd grown attached to him) but it would have cost over $500 to get an appropriate tank, pump, lid, and all of the other stuff to accommodate his growing size.Well, I know God definitely cares about the little things we care about because some friends of ours heard of our predicament and offered to give us a 45 gallon tank that had been sitting in their garage!
It was the right size for Levi Oscar Bubbles (that's his full name) and it fit perfectly in the space where we wanted to put a fish tank.
We still had to purchase a pump, lid, some stones, and the decor, but it was less than half of the cost of a tank and stand.
Levi Oscar Bubbles has upgraded from a studio apartment to a penthouse and we are all enjoying him much more! Although, I'm sure not nearly as much as he is enjoying his new space. :)
