Hobby = Discovery

We have a little pond outside our unit and it was in terrible state after our Japan trip because my dear neighbor grandchildren have been creating havoc at it and my dear fishes is almost gone upon our return.

Mom & I are very upset but she never give up...she bought more fishes, "cheappo ones" like guppies, molly and some "Long Kang fish" and my pond is once again buzzing with life. We are very happy to see fishes swimming in the pond.

One of the "LongKang fish" is pregnant and Mom seperate it and about 3 weeks later, we found little fish fry. Not long after, another LK fish is pregnant too, Mom again seperate and we wait patiently...in the end we have about 30 fish fry but sadly most didn't make it and now there are only 9 of them survived. We were told not to introduce them to our pond as the bigger fish will eat as dinner. Now they are still swimming happily in our little fish bowl.

But this is not all, Mom made a discovery and found one of our shrimp is PREGNANT too! She is not optismatic if we are able to breed those shrimp but anyway, we try...it is a very long wait and miracle happen, we found little zoeae in the maternity chamber.

They made it and We are really happy and thrill. As there are really really tiny, Mom can't clean the MC as she afraid she might accidentally remove our little zoeae.

Sorry no picture to show cause it is really impossible to take.
