Zebrafish Observation Diary 4

Monday, March 7, 2022

Weather: sunny

Situation: good

The fish were all in good condition and very active, the two white zebrafish grew up and the blue stripes on their bodies were particularly obvious, the little green fish was still the smallest of all.

In the morning, the two pepper crabs I bought arrived. First time, I know pepper crab's scientific name is Ilyoplax deschampsi.

One pepper crab came in its own box with a pepper crab baby, which felt smaller than a baby's fingernail, but it crawled very fast, so I didn't put it in the water because I was worried it would drown, it was too small.

The other two pepper crabs along the box floated on the water for a noon time. In the afternoon I dumped them on top of the water ficus that was in the water. One fell directly from the leaf into the water and climbed horizontally along the edge of the tank, from the right side to the left side. 

I was worried about its lack of oxygen and put the airpump next to him, but it seemed to be ungrateful and quickly climbed to the other side away from. The other pepper crab fell on top of a leaf of the water ficus and crawled down the trunk, the wide leaf almost obscuring its figure.

The two pepper crabs met at the narrow edge of the water. At first they seemed to wrestle together, and then one was seen stacked on top of the other, waving its two pincers as if trying to escape from the bottom of the tank in this way.

Another colleague brought a fish tank decoration tree trunk, we are full of expectation. I wonder which fish will be the first to get into that tree hole? Since the tree house was launched, the fish were circling around the oxygen pump and the water ficus, and it seemed that the whole school of fish were intentionally avoiding it. The first fish to enter the tree house was a red zebrafish. Then the little green fish also came over and sniffed around.

  Sunday, March 13, 2022 Weather: Sunny Situation: I came to visit the fish and crabs at work a day earlier than expected because I was worried about them. I actually had a very clear purpose, I came to change their water. No more delays, really change the water . Since it was the first time I changed the water, I was a bit apprehensive. I first took out the fish and crabs from the tank into the water basin where they had been sitting for two days, and then I fished the water ficus, sprouted seeds of the water lily, and the tree trunk decoration out of the tank one by one.  With the assistance of two colleagues, the water pump was turned on and when it was turned on, the water in the fish tank was pumped out smoothly and flowed down. After pumping out about one-third of the water, the pumping was stopped. One of the lily seeds had sprouted and bent across the entire surface of the water, as if building a plant bridge. The rest of the bowl of lotus seeds, except for one that ...

  Friday, March 25th, 2022 Weather: cloudy and rainy Situation: I changed about one third of the fish tank water at noon today. Watching the water level drop drastically, I felt a sense of joy in my heart, as if I could really change the water to replace all those years in the old tank. I set up a pot of water and waited for the water to be changed on Monday. The zebrafish and crabs are in good shape, swimming around endlessly besides the airstone .
