It's now 28th September. Splat continues to grow. He loves playing in bubbles and turning their house upside down! He eats well, and perhaps aquaman45 would say he is a little overweight! However, he's very busy most of the time, so I'm not overly worried. Kimbu continues to grow also. Both fish are beautiful and bright and healthy. I just wish I knew how to use this site properly to show everyone with photos!! Water changes are half a tank fortnightly. Plenty of air. Lights go on for around 11 /12 hours a day. Although, to be fair it's a good bright room, so if it's going to be less, I'm not worried as I just pull the blinds up at the front windows!! Kimbu was always my main love, however, splat has crept up on me in the love stakes and I'm very, very fond of him. If anyone is thinking about a ray, do it! if and when anything happens to kimbu I will defiantly have another ray. They are amazing friends to have in the living room and sit next to! Better than the telly!! So 6 months down the line........I don't regret one minute of bringing him home. Thanks aquaman45. For your help, and your belief, and trust that I could keep one of your babies safe. X
