Fish Hotel

My colleague who would be traveling to overseas decided to leave 5 of his beloved goldfish with me when he would be away. Knowing that the poor fish might suffer in the absence of their owner, the way I lost some of my fishes when I was in overseas, I agreed to house his goldfish in my empty tank that I called the "fish hotel". Perhaps, it's a good idea for me to start a fish hotel business one day :)

I had to ask for my colleague to bring along his filter because I didn't have any spare filter and my air pump was already damaged. I also asked him to bring along the favourite fish food because I wanted the goldfish to be comfortable with the food they're used to. I had also tried my best to set up the same water parameter as my colleague's tank to reduce the stress of the goldfish in a new environment.

Although I am not a fan of goldfish, I hope my experience with my father's goldfish and my in-law's goldfish will come in handy. Let's hope all the 5 goldfish will remain alive under my care till the owner is back at the end of February 2009.

I left the bags of goldfish floating in the tank when I enjoyed my shower:



The goldfish were released into the tank after I finished my shower:
