We caught a big fat one...

Well, on the subject of fish, an update is in order.

In our metal tank, only one lone survivor still swims about. We haven't yet put any protection for the little guys in there. (Just got a cinder block today, though...) And, one day, the water got pretty low. After we filled it up with chlorinated water, we got 6 floaters all in one morning.

In our plastic white tank, we still have at least 12 good, growing fish. However, the tank has regrown all its former algae glory. It is fully green again. So, I'm not sure if my idea was correct that the fish keep the tank clean. At any rate, those fish are at least 30% bigger than when we bought them. They are staying well-fed.

But, we didn't catch a big, fat fish. We caught a big fat mouse. We're hoping this is the last one of the season...

Ha. The mice will all try to come inside when it gets cold. My mom lived in the country and the field mice loved her nice warm house.
