New Inhabitants of the Pond

We transferred some, got new ones in... The red/pink talapias have been transferred to my brother's pond. They have become big, eat so much and a little big aggressive. Even though I actually like them because they make the pond so lively, it was time to transfer them away. After they left, the kois don't come out much anymore. We don't know why - they missed the talapias ke, they finally found peace ke... But it's so irritating to see them all snuggled away under the rock platform. It's like having an empty pond.

So Aliyah then said she wanted new fish and Hubby took her to buy 3 fat goldfish - using her own money. Funny thing was, I always thought goldfish to be graceful and slow but the goldfish turned out to be so naughty with so much energy! Their playground is the rocks where water comes out from the pump where they swim against the current to try to go up on the rocks. With them around, the kois have now started to come out again.

Yesterday, we got a tortoise - my niece Wani's pet. I don't know whether to call it a pet because the tortoise was a given by someone and she doesn't really take care of it. It has grown quite big and it's a pity that it lives in such a small container. So now it happily swims in our pond. I really hope umur dia panjang...

The tortoise. Wani said its name is "Lutut". Hah, what kind of a name is that? (It has a sibling named "Siku" that died.) We have not renamed it yet.
