Triple Spawn - 18-Sept-2005 (Sunday)
18-Sept-2005 (Sunday)
Day 7.
All that were planned to be done were done yesterday. One more important thing that I was supposed to do that I forgotten to wrote down yesterday, i.e. to cover the baby tank with mosquito net.
Heng ah ! If not, I could be breeding Dengue mosquitos, man ! You see, the fries are too small at this stage to devour the mosquito larvae. If the precautions were not taken, the larvaes would turn mosquito is a couple of days and the consequences could be disastrous. Especially when there have been at least 4 Dengue fever cases in my immediate neighbourhood lately.
Enough of the latest epidemic, back to my betta fries please. The other thing I did was the turn the partitions 90% so that the short side of the partition is the side sitting in the sand bed instead of the long side. This effectively creates a "screen" between the partitions but no longer segregates them anymore. Water can circulate better between the partions and the fries from the 3 spawns can mingle better, i.e. free swimming to any part of the tank wherever they like best. :D
As last view yesterday, there are lots of fries all over the place and it is exciting. I think I am finally getting it. yeah !
There is a downpour this morning and it is still raining now, although it has "mallow" a lot. Good rain as it gives fresh water to my other tanks - the top tank where my last 1+ months spawn was, the earth pot where my older spawn + neon tetra was, the maiden tank where I kept the moms, and the papa cans where I expose them to the rain to absorb the ingredients of heaven and earth.
I read somewhere before of westerners creating outdoor summer tanks. Hey, mine are outdoor summer tanks all years round, and guess what, they have all the best ingredients that mother earth provides - the Sun which mades the plants thrives, the rain which provides fresh water and breeze of coolness, the sand bed that absorb and neutralise the nitrates, and of course the tender loving care of their papa - me. hee hee...
