Catch Up

Well I thought I had better make a start on catching up with my blog.I didn't realise just how long I have been away from it and needed to read some of my postings to see where I had got to....

The fish tank has been doing quiet well and I have found it quiet theraputic watching the fish wizzing round the tank and also seeing them grow so large,so large in fact they have turned out t be right little piggy's eating all the food that we put in for them so that some of the smaller fish miss out.We were starting to over feed them and had to take a water sample to the fish shop to have a test done on it,{even though Stuart had already checked it and it seemed slightly high to him}Anyway we had to do more water changes and cut the feeding down to every other day but at this moment in time everything is fine with them and so far our Guppies and Endler Guppies have produced over 200 baby fry between them.

It was quiet exciting watching the tiny babies grow from very tiny replicas of their parents to having to let them go to the fish shop where they were sold on and have gone to new homes to give other fish keepers the same pleasuer as they have given us...

At this moment in time we have some more babies due at any time because the fish man was so impressed with the colours in the babies we sold him he has done a deal with Stuart and after providing all the food free to us then he is going to give us a good price for any future that we can produce.We already have some credit with him which we will be able to use to buy any bits we need and any money we make will go towards any new fish we fancy...

I shall have to catch up with blog agian soon because our female Guppies are giving birth as I type.Have got at least 5 new fry......
