fish*tank - a turtlelog

September 21, 2003

Been a LONG time since the last entry! Sorry to keep y'all hanging. To cut a long story short, Fish has been doing well, and I have been extremely busy. Still am, actually. :\

On with the regular content:

weighing Fish

I got a cheap kitchen scale yesterday - now I can finally weigh Fish and keep a proper growth record! As of 19 September, his weight was about 70 grams. I put some dry tissue on the scale to absorb vibrations (and to keep him still - I don't know why, but when I wrap Fish in tissue paper, he gets very bewildered and doesn't move much).

I also tried to measure him yesterday, too, but without calipers it's difficult. The best I can say is, his shell is about 7.5 cm long.

Fish is doing well! He's awfully curious, as usual, and looks forward to his feedings. Just last week he yawned in my face - I love it when he yawns!
