April read how we like the temperature of 68 F more than 70 F or above so she lowered the temperature in our home. Actually, she just turned off the heater in the tank.
She says it made a very noticeable difference in how much we move around now. Instead of sitting in one place all day everytime she checks on us we are either moving around or have moved to another area.
Also, she has seen us eating crickets which she never saw before. In fact, she said we may even have pot bellies now. What is a pot belly? It seems to have something to do with eating a lot.
She also cleaned and rearranged the tank yesterday. She found another large flat rock and gave us even more above water space. Now all 5 of us can be in different hiding places if we wish. It gives us more elbow room.
The other news is that the female guppy had a bunch more babies. April said if we don’t start eating guppies she is going to have to find someone to take them off her hands. There must be about 30 of them in the tank right now.
The male guppy died the other day. April is not sure why and we didn’t tell her what happened. But, that means there shouldn’t be any new guppies born for a while.
Well, got to go. There is an interesting look hiding place over there we haven’t investigated yet.
Kind Regards,
Randal1 and Randal2
