While I was on the phone James took Dropsy Gourami and put him out of his misery. I think it was for the best – he was so very bloated, and had a significant number of scales missing on the left side, and no hope of recovery.

There are some people coming over tomorrow who will take at least the females, and hopefully a significant number of fry, thanks to the bulletin board. KB is keen on a few fry, as is another friend of a friend apparently, so hopefully we will pass on most of them.

We’ve been talking about what we’ll get as replacements – I’ve pretty much given up on the idea of a betta; the chances of a bad personality are too high to risk I think. James is very keen on angels again, and I think I agree. I’d also like a Bumblebee Goby, just because they’re so cute. We should probably get a qt before we add any more fish, but there’s a question of cost and where exactly to put the thing.
