This trip, we didnt intend to keep the fishes too but Zaky pleaded to do so for just 1 day. Ok lor. We did that on one of the previous occasion too and the fishes died after a fee days.
Zaky gave the fishes human bread that very night and the water soon turned all murky. It was damned gross and I just had to change the water. We left a tankful of tap water overnight to let the cholrine evaporate.
On Saturday morning, Zaky was helpful and did most of the water changing. He even told me about the need to transfer some of the "old" water to the new tank and getting the fishes used to the new water (temperature?) for 30 mins before completing the transfer. I think Daddy Lim taught him that.
The fishes appeared to adapt well to the new water, which turned murky too bcos of the bread food. Zzzzz.
Bcos it was too tedious to be leaving tankful of water out every night and changing water every day, we did a small investment and bought some anti-cholrine solution (or whatever it is called) and proper fish food from the pet shop. Daddy Lim and Zaky even took the initiative to change the water on Sunday. The water is now so much clearer even after feeds. Hehehe.
So far, the fishes looked really healthy. We are left with 7 since day 2 and all 7 are still looking alive on day 4. Please stay alive for a while more bcos we still have a lot of fish food and solution.
So here... the kids' official pets. Surprisingly, Zaky had been a lot more enthusiatic than Jiejie since we got the fishes. So is Daddy Lim... he wanted so much to feed the fishes this morning and relunctantly agreed when I asked him to let the kids do it instead. Zaky did and then Daddy Lim insisted that it wasnt enough and fed more. Zzzzz. Hahaha.
