another tiny bit of news,

 

my catfish have had babys,

 

so theres are about 15 - 25 tiny catfishes in my tank now.

first babys.

 

too small to photograph i think, well with my skills.

FOO had a good night, no problems.

we have had a short walk, done his business, had a small breakfast.

 

hes now asleep again

 

all things considered, very good.

They look a little bit like tadpoles David ...  Woman LOL   Seriously though, can't wait to see them at full size xx

Good pics, David, well done.

 

What are you going to do with them?

 

Obviously they can't all stay in that tank.

 

Glad to see Foo is feeling a little better today.

well, i'm not great at planning ahead.

 

i hope i can take them when they are at about 40mm long to a local dealer and sell or swap them for food/products.

or i can just advertise myself. the local aquarium guy charges $25 each for young ones.

 

i'm also planning on a 3rd tank, got a nice location (got rid of an old lounge)

 

Foo is laying in the sun, soaking up the rays.

and making making my bed difficult

They should be a nice little earner for you, then.

a sleeping Fooby, you can see where he had his little lump removed, right on his knee, hope it heals up ok.
