Hello,
I am really sorry that I am not usually on. I am either busy or I forgot about it.

Anyway. We changed an aquarium to a terrarium from late July to early August this year. Firstly we had to take all of the fish out of the tank and put them in the dam next door.

This was sad and i missed some of them a lot but luckily most of the ones that we were attached to had died. Christopher's fish lasted the longest because it was in there until 2 days before we emptied the tank of fish.

Next we had to take all of the water, ornaments and pebbles out of the tank. When this was done all of the pebbles and ornaments needed cleaning because that had algie and fish poo all over them. My ornaments are on my shelf now. The tank also needed cleaning and it took a while to clean.

We had to then go to a plant nersery to find some plants. Christopher and I didn't go because we were somewhere else. Mum and Dad came out with a good selection of plants. We have mini palm trees, African violets, a picture plant (eats insects that get inside that tank), an air plant, ferns etc. The mini palms are my favourite in the tank. All of these plants are mini otherwise they could not fit in the tank.

The glass case of the tank is 120 cm long, 20 cm wide and 20 cm high.

See you naxt time everybody!!!
