Old chores , now relegated to the garden, with 1 Goldfish
Thanks for your added wishes Michael, We needed the space for another bedroom for our growing family many years ago now, so the tank ( do not recall how many gallons but it weighed a lot even empty) , about 6' long and 3' high so it was placed in the sunroom in a sort of cave I made in the wall with a slate surround with outer glass in the garden. ran the garden hose into it and placed a single Golfdfish in, (yougest daughter was asked to look after the fish during summer vacation from school )
Well here we are some 25 years later, kids have all grown up with families of their own and the Goldfish is still going strong, I think that all the Algai ( green ) and the sunlight has kept him / her ? in condition, all cleaning is now done from outside, so no beef from the wife.
I think he will still be there after I am long gone.
If this gives you any ideas and need a pic , I could post one taken this year, the major problem is the changing weather and winter cold, so heaters out of the question, but then he is a Coldfish !!!
