A bucketful of fishies...the kind that I like

I thoroughly enjoy reading Fishman's blog and have always been impressed with how clean he is able to keep his aquarium. We used to have an aquarium too when my brothers and I were children and every Saturday, we will try to make ourselves invisible as it is aquarium cleaning day for dad. He will make us carry the pails, the hose, and cholorine and whatyouhaveits. He makes us do the heavy duty stuff like carry the clean water in and take out the yucky water and the yucky sponge out into the side of the house. It stinks awfully coz of all the fishies' pooh and worse ...the cacings (worms).

Ever since then, I have no desire to rare fish.. big or small.. nothing against them but it is just that the cleaning is just too much work. They are actually very nice pets as they are not intrusive and really lives in a world of their own. I realize that my nephew loves to keep fishes too. They have a rather big aquarium at his por por's (maternal grandmother's) house. But just last week, one of his fish died...the large silver one.. toman (snakehead), that's what I thought it was but I could be wrong. I don't really know my fishes that well. So, this week, I decided to cheer him up and gave him some in a plastic container. When he got them, he was rather speechless. I told him, he can eat them all in one go or have some today and keep some tomorrow. Ha Ha.. don't call the animal conservation just yet.... coz I gave him these type of fishies.. the kind that I like and perhaps he will like too...

Goldfishes

Carps

They are actually agar-agar (jelly). Made them on saturday morning using the molds I got from the marketplace. If you want to have a look at the recipe, do pop by here!
