    It's a Snowy Love Affair [Episode 2]

    "Hmmm... where could Rose be? She's off with the frantic guppies again? Maybe not. A pity, I really wanted to take her off to the rockies."
    ice blue Metriaclima



    "Oh, there you are my lovely. What's with you here?"
    "Jack, I'm sorry I didn't notice you. I was looking at the moonlight..."
    ice blue zebra



    "It's lovely! But nothing lovelier than you..."
    "That's flattering."
    "I have an idea, why don't we head to the rockies. The moonlight

    shines brighter in there..."
    "Uhmmm... ok... that's great."

    It's a Snowy Love Affair

    I'm getting ready for a hundred babies!

    Yeah, and my Albino Ice Blue Metriaclima could be delivering much in a few weeks. I'm in so much wishful thinking here but I just found out that my two "ice-blue's" are in a love affair. Mr Ice-Blue is chasing Ms. Ice-Blue from all over the pond so I had to remove them to be put in my so-called "Love Aquarium". Wish me or us luck and I'll be rearing youngs in a few weeks.

    Leaning over the aquarium I overheard a love story (Scoundrel! You're eavesdropping!!!):

    Albino Ice-Blue Zebras
    "C'mon Rose, I know you like me..."

    Albino Ice-Blue Zebras
    "Uh, I'm sorry Jack but I know I'm needed somewhere..." "Wait!"

    Albino Ice-Blue Zebras
    "So you think I won't come after you? I would even if you're far away."

    Albino Ice-Blue Zebras
    "I'm sorry Jack... maybe some other time?" "I couldn't help it but I'm gonna wait...(sigh)"

    Albino Ice-Blue Zebras
    "If you only knew Jack, if you only knew..."

    To be continued!!!

    A Fish Farm Trip

    Just about 10 kilometers from our place is a fish farm that has been breeding tropical fish for aquarists and fish fans for a long time already. I had the chance to visit it as I was searching for newer species for my ponds. It was a wonderful trip and I was longing for more foot energy though because I haven't visited everything as it was just plain enormous.

    It was also incidental since I saw the largest Pleco in the farm. It was about 30 inches and it just costs 50 PP or about one dollar. I wanted a Pleco for my pond but not a monster like this. Anyway, I bought the shorter one though it still costs the same.

    Romaing around, I saw all types of Cichlid. Cichlids are actually not only very beautiful fishes but they are perhaps easy to breed and are not very demanding fishes. There were peacocks (Oscars), Angelfish, Auratus, Pindani, Ice Blue, Yellow Labs, and Zebras. There were also live-bearers like swordtails, guppies, mollies, and platys. There were also bettas and they're all long-finned. I've been breeding bettas in the past and the bettas I saw there were just amazing. I could be planning on breeding with these later.

    The only thing I need is more energy and foot muscle. :) Really. I just couldn't see it all. As the caretaker who was acting as a guide showed me farther, I simply turned my head. I've got another day or perhaps another "days".

    Here goes some pictures. A pity though, that in my excitement I forgot to take pictures!

    fish ponds
    Those white things are young Albino Blue Ice cichlids. Great sight!

    fish ponds
    These are the smaller ponds that contain the cichlid youngs of all colors.

    fish ponds
    These larger ponds teem with angelfishes.

    pond greens
    Occasional greens accent the ponds filled with young Pindani.

    swordtails
    Frankly I never liked swordtails, but this sight changed the story.

    Japanese Koi
    Ubiquitous as they are, Japanese koi fishes are a great pond species.
