It's been a while since I blogged much less talked about my fish family. The last time I mentioned them I told you that most of them died and that I had I think only 3 left. Well I am happy to say that the 3 Fan Tails that I had remaining are still a live and doing well and even growing.

 

It seems that the tank has settled and hopefully it will remain that way. This week I added a Calico Fan Tail so now I have 4 babies. I am actually thinking of adding 2 more Fan Tails but not sure yet. I wouldn't mind having 6 babies though and leaving it at that until I can get another Aquarium.

 

I have yet order the heater for the tank which I keep saying I am going to do. So far I have not really needed it as yet. Also I now need to change out the filter items, well not all at once. it's never advisable to change all 3 filter item at the same time since you need to keep some of the good bacteria.

 

A friend also suggested that I buy Hikari Goldfish Baby Pellets for them so I will order that when I order the other items. He swears by this fish food and since I know he knows what he is talking about I will do as he says.

 

Oh and the plants in my tank are doing well too. I even got a baby plant from the Java Fern. The baby plant actually broke of from the main plant and instead of throwing it out I planted it and it's growing. I really like the Java Fern because it grows new leaves from the bigger leaves and it's a really hardy plant.

 

As for cleaning the tank, I was vacuuming it every week but again I was told to vacuum every other week instead and just do a partial water change in between vacuum, so that's what I am doing now. I have also been feeding the fish once per day instead of twice, i think that's better, less chance of me over feeding them:)

 

Well that's it for now in fishland. Hopefully by the time I decide to update the blog I have the other 2 fish and would have order the items I need :)

 

Happy Autumn everyone!
