My New Fish Project

All the Siamese fighting fishes I had were all gone. One day I visited the plant nursery and saw how they arranged the plants in the fish bowls containing the Siamese fighting fishes. I was interested to try out the same thing and I went home to start my fish project again. I took out my fish bowls again, arranged the plant cuttings and filled the fish bowls with water. Then I drove to the plant nursery to buy 3 Siamese fighting fishes. One of the 3 fishes committed suicide when it jumped out of its fish bowl onto the floor. By the time we found out it was a dried fish. I have 4 fish bowls, 2 were filled with a Siamese fighting fish each and the other 2 fish bowls were filled with guppies.

 This is a punch bowl and is filled with 1 male and 2 female guppies. Now the bowl is filled with tiny guppy babies. When they have grown slightly bigger, the baby guppies were all transferred to hubby's bigger fish ponds.

 This is home to a Siamese fighting fish.

 This is home to another Siamese fighting fish.

 The Siamese fighting fish on the right committed suicide when it jumped out of the bowl.

 The fish bowl left vacant is now filled with 3 guppies.

 This Siamese fighting fish is dark blue with some red.and blue fins.

 This one has more red.

The following pictures were taken during our visit in Cameron Highlands.

 I don't know the name of these fishes.

 Japanese Carps in a pond in one of the Strawberry Garden.

 When they see us, they swam towards us expecting to be fed.

I managed to take a snapshot of this beautiful white Carp with orange sports.

So I advise you to buy gold from me -

gold that has been purified by fire.

Then you will be rich.

Also buy white garments from me

so you will not be shamed by your nakedness,

and ointment for your eyes so you will be able to see.

(Revelation 3:18, New Living Translation - NLT)

My Failed Fish Project

Last year I thought of a idea - I wanted to keep a few fishes in a glass container on a small side table in my living hall. I started off by getting a glass container.

I found a glass container.

I dug out a bunch of small plants from my garden. It looks like Chlorophytum and washed them clean and place them over the mouth of the glass container.

 Then I bought  2 pairs of bright orange fishes.

 I then placed all the four fishes into this container.

I was just testing it out to see if the fishes will survive in this container without an oxygen pump. A few hours later, I was surprised to see only 3 fishes in the container.

What happened to the 4th fish? The next morning when I was sweeping my floor I found the missing fish dead on the floor. It committed suicide!

 The Chlorophytum plants were not doing well, so I changed to another plants that look like the Pegaga plants. I think they are the Centella Asiatica. Then I added some black & white pebbles.

I kept a watchful eye over the fishes and noticed that this male fish was a big bully. It chased the other fishes around and to escape they jumped out of the water. Out of 4 fishes, only this one bully remained and the other 3 all committed suicide!

Finally, after about a month I found the last fish dead in the container. It died a lonely fish!

Now I have replaced the Pegaga plants with Pothos plants.

I am still contemplating whether this time I should buy a fighting fish?

It will costs me about RM3.50 for a beautiful fighting fish. 

Caught sight of 2 pigeons perched on the power cable behind my garden.

My mobile camera has its limitation so have to be contented with this shot.

"You will be accepted if you do what is right.

But if you refuse to do what is right, then watch out!

Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you.

But you must subdue it and be its master."
