To no effect, until just now. He’s safe, just hiding all day I guess. The Dropsy Gourami is really not looking well, though.

I started writing this up to RandomAlex today [later note: what a long process this has been…], which is cool – I hope it might actually be vaguely useful to someone. I’ll keep going paper-based until I catch up with myself.

The cloaches have been very active recently. I wonder how the tanks – particularly the babies – will go while we’re away? It will only be a week… I’m not going to put the feeder on either tank: I know the main tank will be fine, and I think it would overfeed the babies. I might put it on the main tank when we come home in between weeks away.

We really have to catch Bitch Fish (is it obvious that she is annoying me?). Given the record, she’ll drop again while we’re in Ballarat, which will be annoying. I may well be close to despair – what will we do with these babies?! I made another attempt at catching her tonight, to absolutely no effect.
