Today we bought 5 more fish. Our fish tank is what they call a desktop starter tank, holding about 2 gallons of water. Enough for half a dozen fish. Initially we had red platy fish but over the year all but one died. That sole survivor was lonely over Christmas, no one to buy him presents, so we set forth to The Water Garden near Swindon and bought another red platy, 2 neon wagtails and 2 bottom scavenging bronze cory (a form of catfish), plus a tank heater. The original tank didn't have a heater so now we're helping to keep the water at an even temperature (possible one of the reasons why some of the fish died). And so here they are, installed and enjoying their new home. I've never really been one for aquariums, but I have to admit I am now spending hours just watching them swimming about. Very relaxing.
