The Creature went on my rounds with me this morning because he felt I had shorted some of my charges in talking about my life here at Cascade Ranch. After I feed the donkeys and llamas, I head up to one of the lodges where there is a rather large aquarium with fish that need feeding.
It’s a rather large tank with several fish. Alas, I don’t know all the specific types. There are about 4 medium large fish that might be angelfish. There’s a school of slightly smaller fish with similar coloration (greys and blacks). There are three large, black sucker fish who have cleaning duty in the tank. And then there’s one freshwater shark fish who cruises about.
That’s not the actual fish there, just a nice, clear image of the type of fish, light colored with reddish fins. But as you can see from the first picture, the age of the acrylic sides of the tank made getting a good picture inside the tank a bit difficult.
In any case, the Creature felt I was biased in favor of the mammals on the ranch, and wanted to show of the rather impressive large tank. Since I needed to spend some time at the lodge adding water to the tank. Because of evaporation, every few days I need to add more water to it, which takes a while, given the tank’s size.
It is very restful to spend some time sitting, watching the fish after I feed them. They have a world of their own.
