Hi all,

Just to inform you, regretably, in the following morning, the fish past on!

And, the next day, I found two more, from my 2.5gal tank
floating above.

But, happy to say, that the rest are fine. Oh, I can't seam to find my catfish, the one that wiggles it's way down in the gravel. And, I don't want to put my hands in the tank and disturb the other fishes. As soon as I get me a decent fish stand, I'll know then - whether it died, or just likes the quietness of the deep.

Talk ta ya soon.
