Thursday, December 19, 2013 - [Fishies ! :D]
Christmas is only 6days away!! Our neighbour is well-prepared. Are you?
Glad I finally finished preparing presents and wrapping them ~ The mailman came today with another gigantic box even bigger than the first time, which carried only one item!
It broke the first time it came because it was loosely packaged. It looks like they haven't learnt their lesson. I told the 24hour service lady there was no bubblewrap around this fragile object and it was not secured and could slide around the box, which could be easily solved by using a smaller box! But they did the same thing but putting one small box into a huge one. -_____- .. the stuff is around it is just folded brown paper, it's not sturdy neither does it provide any cushioning, I'm actually very amazed the item did not break this time. Well whatever I like the shop and their service was so prompt I shan't be bothered by their strange wrapping choices.
Ohwell, wrapped 2 presents up today and there... I'm broke and unable to buy anything else now.
Yesterday I received a part of my present too !
Zac, Kas (who stayed over for a couple days) and I went to pick up Zac's mom to go Fish-Shopping ~
I really wanted to see the cave-like "Fish-Cheeks" shop but we went to the Annerley Aquarium instead. Which was surprisingly big and had a great selection of fish ^^ *satisfied*
Greeted by this giant fish at the entrance :3
I already knew what kind of fish I wanted,
The Comets, the silver and red goldfish :3
There were only three of them which were part silver and I TOOK THEM ALL !! :D
Apparently I have to keep them in the dark if I want them to be dis-coloured and more silvery, but I can't really do that because there are plants in the tank and they need to photosynthesize ):
There were the fatter version of the ones I like which are called Fan-Tails there were more silver ones in that tank but I didn't like their body shape.
Next we looked for a good sucker fish to help climb the tank walls and clean the tank :3
Jo wanted to buy me a snail to keep the tank clean tooo NUUUUUUUU X_X I stepped on a snail as a kid and I avoid them like a plague now.
Look at these fishies, their eyes are so huge, it looks scary D:
Black and White guppies. (: I like guppies but they're only pretty looking from the top so they're best put in a pond.
It's Nemo ! :D
The tank gang in Finding Nemo is really cool, hopefully one day in the future I can design a salt-water tank like this :D I really want a puffer fish and angelfish and the BUBBLES BUBBLES fish!
I also like the volcano and the little diver helmet to decorate the tank. But big tanks are really hard to take care of and very expensive too. But ONE DAY ... one day...
Yes can't forget the adorable shrimp too (:
So back to sucker fish hunting, I just decided on a black spotty one, look they're eating a dead fish! The right one was guarding its "prey" and circling it so the one on the left one didn't come near it.
I really liked this jellyfish ornament :D but it was $23 ! ! !
Yay we have fishies now (: the tank is cloudy tho because I rearrange the tiki hut and the octopus and mini pineapple under the sea and the gravel and sand takes so long to settle .... D: Fishes hiding behind the tiki hut.
It's also very cloudy because Zac thought the sucker fish got sucked into the filter and rampaged around the tank to find it, and pulled out the filter but it was just hiding behind the octopus all along. Stupid Zac.
He now thinks the goldfish are eating each other .. ._.
