New Additions


(If you think this is going to be a post heralding the arrival of another Ling, you will be sorely disappointed.)

I am pleased to announce that we are now proud parents of (used to be 8 T.T now) 6 Neon Tetras, 2 Mickey Mouse Fish (which I just bought from Clementi) and 2 Sucker fish ^^

Can you see them swimming HAPPILY in our newly acquired fish tank?

Our fish tank


On ANY other occasion, I wouldn't want anything to do with keeping pets, let alone keeping fishes . Honestly, the thought of having to clean the tank, feed them, and make sure they STAY ALIVE is not something I relish.

But then, a fellow colleague at Oldham Hall, who was leaving, offered us his BIG fish tank...together with filter, a water plant, gravel and FISH!

And then the little girl LOVES fishes...or rather anything that swims and/or comes from the sea (dolphines, "nemo" clown fish...you name it she likes it). Actually, we have been toying with the idea (for some time already) of keeping a fish tank for her sake. I even talked to a good friend of mine and reserved a SMALL fish tank with him for this very purpose. But because of time and reasons stated above, we held back.

So now, with a free tank at our disposal, we decided to bite the bullet. Despite my earlier reservations, knowing that Janine will most definitely have endless hours of fun with them and in the glorious name of "education" and "exposure", we adopted the fish tank.

We probably will add MORE to our current brood ^^ I mean, won't they get LONELY swimming in that BIG tank? Must get more fishies ^^

Let the craze begin!!!

Edit: One of my Mickey Mouse fish JUST gave birth to more babies!!! Ohhh! What a thrill!
