Finally, Surya sits on the eggs!!

Hi everyone,

She did it! 

After four months of ignoring her eggs, Surya finally decided to start sitting on them.........YAY!!  Of course, these are a new batch of the eggs. I had to dispose of the old ones.

Surya, sitting on the eggs

I got a fish!!

Hi everyone,

Yesterday I got a Siamese fighting fish which are sometimes known as Betta-fish.

Here is little Arnie in his bowl

He got a new fish tank today in the shape of a cube

This is the view looking down into his tank

They usually grow to an overall length of about 5cm. Although known for their brilliant colours and large, flowing fins, the natural coloration of Siamese Fighting Fish (B. splendens) is a dull green and brown, and the fins of wild specimens are relatively short. Brilliantly coloured and longer finned varieties (i.e. Veiltail; Delta; Superdelta; and Halfmoon) have been developed through selective breeding.

When properly kept and fed a correct diet, they live approximately 2–5 years in captivity. This fish is a member of the gourami family (family Osphronemidae) of order Perciformes, but was formerly classified among the Anabantidae. Although there are nearly 50 other members of the Bettagenus, B. splendens is one of the most popular species among hobbyists.

Back to school!!

Hi everyone,

Yesterday, I started high school and it is way better then primary school.

On another subject, my budgie's egg still hasn't hatched yet. This one probably won't survive being that Surya is a first time mum and doesn't seem to know what to do. I hope she will be better the next time around.

'til next time,

Aaron.

African milk tree

    Hi everyone, 

Sorry its been a while.

Just a quick post today to show you a picture of my African Milk Tree.
It looks like a cactus but it is actually a succulent and belongs to the Euphorbia family.

I planted it 3 years ago...

....from a small cutting that I took from my Mum's plant.

Tomorrow I plan to sketch it.

'till next time,

Aaron
