3 fish are now alive. The two bottom-feeders and another one. I have spoken to my boyfriend about buying more and he thinks that is ok.
Today was Chalerm’s last day of exams this semester and he will have a couple of weeks off. He might go to “Anyburi” to spend the holiday with grandmother and the rest of the clan. I consider visiting him there but I should not stay too long. It gets boring for me in the village.
Chalerm says we can instruct the maid to feed the fish if we are away.
When I had an aquarium it was a large one - 200 litres. His is 10 litres maybe. The dirty little secret is that a big aquarium is easier to keep than a small one. This has to do with water quality, which is easier to get right in a larger tank.
I will buy some more fish and see how it goes.

Silom, it is likely that the Bangkok water may need “conditioning” before adding to the tank. You idea of bottled water was a good one. Have you check water temperature? If the AC blows on the tank, this may cause problems.

Hi Joe M
We hardly use any air condition in the living room now. I run it for 20 minutes a couple of times a day to cool down the room and use a fan the rest of the time. The room temp is around 25 C.
I will diplomatically try to speak to my bf about changing the water. He will get around to it, I just have to make sure he doesn’t lose face as there is some prestige involved in the aquarium project.
