I feel a little sad at the moment, I've had my first Gaian goldfish go fins up in my aquarium! emo
That's a little depressing to have your tank come up and see a goldfish literally belly up at the top of the tank. I'll give these guys this much, its very like real life!
Speaking of real life I cleaned out my actual goldfish tank on Thursday. I have a goldfish, Patch, with bladder issues at the moment, it spends a lot of time belly up at the bottom of the tank. I assumed that it was on its way out so thought that I'd give the tank a really good clean with the intention of buying another goldfish.
And when I say 'good clean' I mean a bloody good clean. I thought back and realised that I hadn't really cleaned out the tank in about a year! eek Let me tell you goldfish can s**t like its 'all you can s**t Sunday' and its 12 minutes to midnight . . . no that didn't make any sense to me either but it sounded great in my mind.
So back to the tank, I cleaned it out and wouldn't you know it Patch is feeling much better. Still a little upside down if he (she?) stops concentrating but coming to the surface to feed and looking much more like he might stick around for a while longer.
So a delay on the new fish.
Ooh, and speaking of all things fishy we're holding our annual Pioneer fishing competition (like you'd know where that is!) this Saturday. Followed by the annual Derby River Derby the following Saturday, so its bloody early mornings for the next two weekends gonk yipee!

Call it a 'stream of consciousness'. It can be anything, anytime, mostly here.
A bit of rambling, some ranting and general stuff I stumble across through the net.
And, hopefully *fingers crossed* some writing, too.
