I've been having a fun time keeping track of the skunk, cottontails and other critters. I found a baby once. So wee!

I've had a disaster in the house. In September, 2012, we bought a 60-gallon fish tank. I've thought about when it might fall apart. It has sprung a leak. Having taped it with Flex Tape, it was still leaking.
I'd bought the tank when we had five goldfish and they needed a larger tank.
I had no choice but to put the fish in the outdoor goldfish pond. JB helped me drain the indoor tank. They don't make this style anymore. I cannot replace it. It is difficult to say if anyone repairs them. We'll ask around.
It's a bit chilly outside (-1℃), but I expect the fishies will be OK. Percy is pretty solid. One of the other three is showing signs of age.
Happy Easter to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great variety of wildlife.
The bunny, grouse and the deer are favorites.
The fish are so pretty.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
I only thought of what Bambi named his skunk friend in the movie...Flower. A bit strange. I haven't heard the story of the dragon in the garden...which intrigues me. Glad you saved the fish from floundering about if the tank broke and they were swoosing all over the floor...not to mention yourselves from the possible mess!
ReplyDeleteHaving a big tank leak would not be a happy thing.

ReplyDeleteWell, I guess it's close enough to when the fish would go out anyway. Hope there's not too much more wintery return...and the tank is fixable... Hooroo frae Inverness, today, and some half decent reception!!! YAM xx
Don't trap the bunny. He has a busy night tonight. Sorry your tank sprung a leak. My cousin leaves her goldfish (Koi) out all winter. They were the grandkids goldfish that outgrew the tank. They are HUGE now.
ReplyDeleteToo bad about the fish tank. I don't think we are to have really cold weather this week so the fish should be okay.
ReplyDeleteYou got quite the parade of critters coming through in the night.
ReplyDeleteLove the skunk and the rabbit. And the deer.
I love that you keep track of your critters. And feel for you on the fishtank. One of ours essentially collapsed while we were asleep.
ReplyDeleteAsk the Flex-Tape manufacturer for a new tank! Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteWe saw three groundhogs today - first of the year.
ReplyDeleteWonderful variety of wildlife critters.
