The Blue Super Moon was 'rocking a look over' Blythburgh last night.  There is no better fun than going out at night and looking up at the sky. Just above the Moon was the ringed planet Saturn.

Get Tanked up with Syd Carp No2 - Salt & Pepper Corydoras

 


"These 'friendly little fellows' help to keep a tropical freshwater aquarian clean. An interesting little fish that has evolved to absorb oxygen directly and so can be seen rising to the surface to take a gulp of air. They feed from the bottom so require a tank with a reasonable floor area and a substrate free from sharps, which could otherwise damage their barbels. They are best kept in small groups and larger aquaria with planting." Syd
