Our new fish buddies now have names, courtesy of my husband, Rick. Our clown knife fish is Mac the Knife, from the song and our tiger oscar is Hobbs, from Calvin and Hobbs cartoon, Rick's favorite! It has been so much fun having these two guys, because they have so much personality! Hobbs is learning the routine of feeding time. I turn on the light, open the lid and tap on the tank to get his attention and he comes out swimming like he just woke up. Then he gets all excited and follows me, until I reach in with his food and he has gotten brave enough to take his food from my hand. We also feed them both minnows which my boys think is really cool. Mac is the only one to catch the minnows so far, Hobbs just can't quite catch them and is not really brave enough yet. Hobbs is still just a little guy, not even three inches yet, but he is growing! 

I found three different sized galvanized containers at an antique store and create this herb garden tower.
I drilled holes in the bottom of each for drainage. This is super easy to make and can be done with any kinds of containers of graduated sizes.
