Yesterday my goldfish Nemo turned 1 :-) We named him Nemo because he was the only baby to survive in the batch of 40-100 eggs that Georgette laid. Since then Georgette and Marlowe have been busy and laid eggs about 3 times. Unfortunately none of the others survived either.
I had high hopes for about 40 eggs that I saved and watched most of the fry grow until they were a few months old but slowly some began to disappear (Nemo got hungry) and others became ill and died...
There was one fish from that batch that made it - Cheeky Fish... Until today... He hurt his tail on the weekend, he got stuck in a rock and pulled half his tail off, it got infected and this morning he was dead :-(
So now Georgette, Marlowe and their son Nemo (above) will continue swimming happily in a tank that is getting less and less crowded!
