Meet Stan and Ollie!

Well, I got up nice and early Saturday, purse in pocket and off I went to my nice man in the shop!

After looking at my options, I decided to settle for 2 Zebra Danio’s called Stan (larger) and Ollie (smaller).

I put the bag in the Biorb, then over half an hour slowly added my tank water every 5 minutes to get the fish adjusted. By the time I had finished, the bag was almost ¾ full.

Then, I gently, let the bag sink into the Biorb and waited for the big escape! It was very bizarre as they both brushed passed by hand so I felt them both! I a sure for a minute that we bonded!

After almost a weekend of being with me, they seem very settled. They are very small and very fast, and they are all over the tank, round the plants, have a hiding hole and seem quite at home.

Now all I have to do is water checks every week, and if all levels are ok, add another 2 fish in 28 days. I am hooked already and have been distracted most of the weekend watching them.

I am doing some trial and error with the camera as they move so quickly it is hard to catch them resting!!!!

So 48 hours and all is well!!!!

Tomorrow I will post the photo’s of the cats meeting the fish!
