Finbaby

There is a new member of the Tucker family!  We may never see this member of the family again, so I took a picture before we put it in its home.

It’s a plecostomus.   We got the fish to eat the algae in the pond we have as part of our backyard landscaping.  The fish eats algae and there is LOTS of food available to him (or her?).   The lady at the store was right, it looks prehistoric.

We put the fish in the pond last weekend and haven’t seen it since, but the pond is beginning to look cleaner.   When it gets cold we'll get a heater for the pond, don't want the poor thing to freeze- though that isn't much of a worry in Houston..

We’ll give it a name, right now we’re calling it Slimer, like Ghostbusters.

Since Smokey is our furbaby, I guess this one would be our finbaby.
