She always finds a cozy place..


After workin on one of my Fish tanks I had as usual water all around and near the Fish tank because it drops everywhere when I take my hand out of them. So I have to clean up after working there.

Cucumber feeding time in my fish tank


I just though that I show you one of my fish tank videos. I did buy a bio cucumber and did eat it but there was still a rest and I did read anywhere that you can feed your fish with cucumber as well.

Well see the video but sorry for the bad cam quality. My cam is really not that good. Here is the video… Continue reading Cucumber feeding time in my fish tank
