After school, Daniel and I went to the FISH SPA area to clean the ponds.. There was an increase of water level due to the rain! So, Daniel cleared the algaes, sand, dust particles & dried leaves (On the Surface) away, while i displaced the excess water back to the original level. We also used some of the excess water to water the plants which seemed to be "dying of thirst". Then, the rest of the people came; Geng Yi, Prabu, Jing Hui.
Some of the Fish breeding Members helped displaced the water; Terence, Billy, Edwin Tay. Ms Suhaila came after that, and told us to use tissue papers (wet first), to wipe away the bird shits and other stains on the sides of the pond. Kai Sheng, Billy, Terence, Ben Neo, Ben Chan, Joshua helped carried a huge tank from the side of the staff room. Ms Suhaila instructed me, jeremy chuan and daniel to pour water into pails and go to the General Science Lab to wash the tanks.
After that, we went down to the pond when the Garra Rufas came! They(Garra Rufas) were so hyper. The jumped like frogs and sucked onto the side of the plastic bag which contained them. The professionals about Garra Rufas said that the first 5 min was the most crucial to see if the water conditions are suitable for them to live in. If the fish survives, it means that the water condition and all are suitable.
Also, they mentioned that the Garra Rufas will tend to jump out of the pond for the first 3 days.. and there after they have all stablised, they will not jump out as often. Mr Surin(Principal) tried it and i asked him how was the feeling.. then he said:"Its quite fun". To solve this problem, we used wooden planks to cover the top of the pond and some plastic coverings stuffed at some small, tiny narrow gaps so as to prevent them to jump, crawl out.
