Sim & Bek's Place

well, we learnt an interesting fact today -

fish can't burp

we learnt this fact because poor Moose passed away Sunday night...ooh...
This caused us to head down to the local pet shop today to get two new fish, and to first find out why Emo and Moose died.
We explained that just before hand their balance was out of whack - floating tail up etc - he immediately said,
"you use flake food yeah?"
"yes," we replied
"that is your problem - when they eat at the surface, they swallow to much air and can't release it! Causing trouble in their system."
"ahhh...."

So we now know to get some sinking fish food - which is just like mini pellets. So due to all that - we now have two new fish. Yet to be named 100% but one has a mean black streak running along his head and back, and the other is super streamlined and fast...
we are thinking: blade and thorpedo. attempts at photos are below.

In other news while trying to catch up with the stuff in the post below: We moved the lounge around last week. Its a little cosy'er for us and we aren't so far away from the tv now. Its working well so far, and we had a big group of mates (bout 20) round after church for dinner and idol on sunday and it all worked well. We've kept the wall free for projector use still too! See photos below:


how it is now - how it was as we moved in


Also, remember how I mentioned that we bought GIbbs a new basket a few weeks ago?
Well there isn't much left of it now. :)
It is fine that he eats it - its good for his teeth, we are just amused that he's half eaten the basket in about 3 weeks.
