Snow and singing exam

April 7th, 2008

Yesterday I woke up to see 4 or 5 inches of snow covering the ground. First snow I have seen for ages and it is in April!

I also had a singing exam yesterday. It went fine except that I had the CD player with the backing tracks too loud, so had to sing loud, so I think that I went a bit out of tune. Oh well, fingers crossed. I should get the results in a few weeks.

Dani’s fish currently have fungal infections. The electricity meter ran out of money so the filter was of for about 24 hours, there was a bacteria/fungal bloom in the tank and the water went all whiteand cloudy. They have been having daily water changes until the water clears. I cleaned out the filter yesterday, and replaced the filter pad and there was white slimy stuff growing inside the filter which looks like what is growing on the fish, so that got all cleaned out. Hopefully it will start getting better soon.

Fishy Fun!

Hi

Thought I would tell people about my fish tank (and my fish), so that I actually have something to talk to people about :p

  • 25 litre tank (5.5 imperial gallons, 6.6 US gallons)
  • Currently has a gravel substrate (the chipped variety) which I am planning on replacing with sand tomorrow
  • 1 male Siamese Fighting Fish (Betta Splendens) maybe about a year old
  • 4 Habrosus Corydorus which are a few weeks old - they are miniture cat fish, they only grow to 4cm long
  • Heated to a temperature of 26C or 78F
  • Filtered using an in-tank filter

Any comments of this set up would be awesome!
