It’s weekly water change for our goldfish tank! And this time, I managed to record a hyper lapse video. And as always, I love to caress my fishes. 😛 It took us about an hour to do water change because we have to scrub the rocks, the glass and use sponge to clear away the algae that are starting to grow. There are also some floating plants in the tank because our goldfishes loves to bite the plants as though they are still very hungry. And on the side of my main tank, we have a small tank where we kept shrimps. And currently, we have a baby fish living in that tank. The baby fish hatched from nowhere, but we suspect it was from one of the plants that we shifted from main tank to the small tank.
The baby fish that we found. And I thought it was some kind of mosquito larva because it was first time seeing this ‘thing’ in the tank. Initially, we found 3. But only 1 of them survived. 😥
Not sure if you are able to see the baby fish swimming in the tank. It was so small and I thought it was struggling to survive.
My cherry shrimps
We tried rearing some crystal shrimps. But sadly, they didn’t survive in our tank.
Looking on the bright side, my shrimp tank community is growing. With all the adorable baby shrimps. It was so hard to notice them initially because they looked like tiny little dots and I was trying very hard to locate them. And I have some snails in the tank appearing from nowhere since we didn’t purchase any. Conclusion was, it came with some of the plants that we bought for the shrimp tank. And those plants, we didn’t soak in tap water overnight, soaking for a couple of hours each time. So now we know, must soak plants overnight. If not, I think I am also building a snail community in the shrimp tank.
Maybe next time, I can share about my goldfish rearing journey. And I am glad that Laogong is with me on this journey. 🙂
