I was so sad that one of our elephant nose fish died. We couldn't find him yesterday. Then Bert noticed that he was swimming in a zig-zag manner. He was caught amongst some cotton wool (that was holding the roots of some plants in the aquarium) at the bottom of the tank this evening.
Tiffy and I were trying to push the pump as a goldfish seemed to be stuck between the pump and the side of the tank. As we pushed the pump away, the goldfish shot downwards and away. Later, as I walked by the tank, I was shocked to see the elephant nose fish dead.
This evening, we surveyed that found the other elephant nose fish swimming amongst the plants. He looked a little pale. Hopefully he'll survive and grow big.
Our hamster, meantime, is really a sloth! Did you know hamsters are the 4th laziest creatures around? He practically sleeps all day and a major part of the night, perhaps staying up for about 4 hours darting around up his "space" station, sand-bath and wheel. He likes to sleep hanging upside down the tubes..he must think he's a bat!
Love Theresa
