Something fishy going on
As you may recall, Damaris and Nigel and fam had agreed to fish-sit for us over the winter, since they had a handy, and more importantly, EMPTY 55 gallon tank.
The first set-up never really 'took'. All but two of the snails died off, gradually, and as you can imagine, it really didn't do anything for the water quality of the tank. Anything good, I mean.
Just before Thanksgiving, they (my kids, not the fish) found a larger yet still affordable place to move into, so on the weekends when Nigel is down from his job in Denver, they've been shifting households. Sunday I went over to help move the fish. All ten of the goldfish are still in good shape, and I am hoping they will stay that way until spring....
Here is a shot of most of the 'herd':
