Fish Fanatic
Well yesterday and today has been filled with ups and downs. Who wouldve known so many things can happen in a fish tank in two days
So the downs...
My filter spat out a load of rubbish yesterday, very frustrating. But the water was soon clear again after some hard work from the filter and me. This morning i turned the lights on and fed my fish and then realised that i had a black guppy missing. I have two black guppies one with long fins and another with more short and neat fins. It was the ones with the shorter fins that i couldnt find... Well i looked everywere. And the last place i looked was inside the filter. My poor guppy had got in a tight gap between the pads and couldnt get out in time. Sparing the gorey details i could only tell it was my guppy from the colourings on its poor body and the fact nothing else was missing. Also when i was looking i found that right in a corner you cant see unless your standing directly above the tank a zebra snail of mine had got onto its back somehow and died.
Everything in the tank was running great and the water was good and there was no shortage of algae for my snail so im guessing its just abit of unluckiness. < Probably not a word but you guys know what i mean
But...
On the up side i have fry! When retrieving the snail out i found some fry, im unsure of how many or from which fishys there from. I dont have the right equipment to keep them safe and to rear them yet so im hoping they can hold out until i do. Also i have a hitchhiker! A small snail has hitchhiked its way into my tank. But it isnt a zebra unlike my others its different for sure. How and what did it come with i have no idea.
Sad day for my loses though
Rest in peace my guppy and zebra snail...
