Farcebook pulled up a photo I uploaded a decade back, of a jungle tank I made, very green, with two bright orange platies centre front, and I was reminded just how beautiful those fish are, and how easy. Be nice to have a trio again, they do liven up a quiet tank!
I too have been giving flying lessons to slugs, half a dozen this morning, found sleeping under a piece of discarded coir matting in a plastic plant tray. And, joy of joys, two full grown monarch caterpillars on a fading swanplant, so I relocated the biggest to one of my bigger seedling plants. Might help even the odds of survival. I have a great love for butterflies and love watching monarchs dancing over my gardens. Almost as much as I love bees...
