The fish tank, that is. Water wasn't quite everywhere, but things were starting to get pretty damn damp on the tabletop in my bedroom. Gagh!
Of course, the major petshop in town didn't have the same size tank in stock, so I had to grab one slightly larger... about another bloody 15 liters bigger! There was $80 I wasn't anticipating spending... sheesh.
At first, after settling the water down and setting it up (basically... it still needs some fine-tuning, and a whole heap more river gravel), I thought Mr Thoon wasn't gonna make it... he wasn't moving properly for the first twenty minutes or so. I couldn't sit and just watch him die! I had to walk out for a while.
I know it's only a simple goldfishie, but when you live on your own, you like having something else living in the place sometimes.

Hey, it's not just a simple goldfish, as you correctly point out, it's another living thing in the house. I've had them and they're great.
ReplyDeleteGlad thoon is better...The one thing that i found out was that you can't empty the entire tank of water...they need some of the old water to survive...something they produce in the water helps them when you clean a tank.
ReplyDeleteI asked our pet store why everytime i cleaned the tank at least one fish died...they said don't empty it totally ....so i started to do that and i am happy to say we have had the same fish for over 5 years.
I bet thoon is really happy to have a new home :)
