It’s that time of year again when I write a reflective piece on the year that was. But… has it really been a year since the last one? Well- not exactly. The last one was posted on the 30th of December 2020, so I still have a week or so […]
So I made a post back in July about upgrading the fish tank. The old tank was a 29L and the new one is 76L (a sizeable jump). There are fish in there- they’re just a bit hard to spot. 😅 There’s Hoover the sucking catfish (Chinese algae eater), Gary […]
Apparently my last update to the tank was when I set up the new, larger tank. 😳 Things have progressed significantly since then. So, firstly, all original fish are in the new tank (Hoover, and the trio of Danios). In addition to those guys, we also have three new Leopard […]
WELL- it’s Lockdown 5.0 here in Victoria. So while we are once again all staying at home and trying to avoid death by plague, I thought I’d post a little update on how the fish are going. First of all- all fish are currently alive and well. Hoover, our newest […]
I’d not mentioned anything about the fish recently, but I had a pretty good reason why. A few weeks ago, I woke up and went about on my usual routine of getting out of bed, zombie shuffling towards the fish tank, and then feeding the fish. Only this time, I […]
Why hello there I thought I’d take this opportunity to re-introduce myself. First of all, welcome to my Blog, ‘A Bug’s Life’. I started this Blog two years ago while I was still doing my Ph. D in Bacteriology, with the intention of writing about what life was like as […]
Well, I couldn’t wait any longer. The water quality hadn’t changed in a week, Miele the Hoover fish was looking a bit bored and scared of our presence, so we decided to just get more friends. They’re your standard Leopard Danios (as opposed to the Zebra ones, which are striped), […]
Previously, on ‘A Bug’s Life’, I wrote an update on my latest hobby. Now, in that, I alluded to the need to ‘cycle’ the tank, because it’s brand new and it’s much better to have this going before I put live fish in it. So, what is this ‘cycling’ I […]
A little while ago, I posted about my new hobby. That’s right. A tank full of water. It’s very exciting. Just kidding! As entertaining as it is to have a tank full of water, the end goal is to obviously have some fish in it. I don’t want it to […]
