2 new pals in the neighbourhood

Since the sucking catfish died after I took them out of the tank for being naughty sucking the goldfish, the algae started to grow back and my water changing routine start increasing. So I've decided to introduce some new pals to do the job. I went to Mosman to check out this new aquarium that just opened Dave been mentioning about. The shop itself is quite nice, in dim light and fluoresecent light to keep the fish tank, and the fish look so vivid and colorful under dim light in the shop. And I am glad to see the tank are much bigger than the other shop with hundred of fish fighting for space in a small 1ft tank. This shop has lots of freshwater fish and some nice gold fish too with a very reasonable price. I don't mind to pay more as the fish look quite healthy swimming in the big tank. I've decided to grab 2 snails and testing it out whether they will eat the clean up the algae. I am not very fond of snails, the slimey little bugger... looks like an alient out of the Star Wars film. I put them in the tank and they slowly popping out from their shell. They are so weird looking with eyes and tentacles, and their flesh has some fluorescent orange dots all over....very... er... interesting.

Oh, and I bought some Hikari Food
for the goldies as well. So far I've beeen only using cheap brand fish food for them to grow, and now they are about 2 to 3 inches long so I've decided is time for them to develop to their inner beauty. The food I bought is specially for head growth for the Ranchu and Oranda. Can't wait to see the results in 1 month time.
