I was still studying about water quality for an aquarium online.

Don’t overthink it :). I had my betta in a very small tank in my office for a year or more. Id drain out 2 cups and replenish weekly, using the office water plus a few squirts of “stuff” that i let stand over night. Once I retired, we moved “Alpha” up to a 10 gallon tank and added a few tetras and two coryadora catfish and snails. All is well.

I had the bat detector out for an hour this evening and picked up 3 species of bat definitely with 3 that need reviewing by my daughter. I am pretty pleased with 3 over a suburban garden. Six would be amazing!

So we have (library photos my trace)

When I was looking after my sisters dog last autumn, I would walk her around a cricket/footy pitch at sunset when there was just enough light to see the bats taking flight........lovely to see.

I'm going to have an early night - early hospital appointment with consultant at fracture clinic and then knee x-ray for me tomorrow so I have to be up and organised.
So I'll wish you all Nos Da.
Take care.

I would consider someone who doesn’t like animals a bit odd. I’ve never met someone who has no interest in them:D
Most of the people I'm surrounded by only have dogs or cats. They don't understand why I would rather have a tortoise and a bump on a logamorph...

So cool!! You are so lucky!
I’ve only seen them flying, especially over our pool at dusk to eat mosquitoes!!
