i bought 4 baby prawns to rear, a few weeks ago.

for them,

my dad moved an old fish tank out and placed it above the pond using some planks.

we can't put the tank elsewhere because we needed the filter that is servicing the pond as well.

it's a complicated thing, i really admire my dad for being able to fix everything up.

anyway, one day, the pump that pumps clean water into the prawn tank broke down :(

my dad said that the spare part costs about 300$ so don't buy unless necessary.

without clean water the tank's gonna be very hard to maintain,

so we changed into a smaller temporary tank with no filter.

haha it's as tho the prawns kena downgraded.

in our world it's prolly analogous to downgrading from a bungalow to a 1 room flat lol damn poor thing.

ok but that's not the point.

point is, my dad has to change the water every day because there wasn't a filter.

but no worries, he didn't change using tap water.

he changed using the water in the pond.

all was fine until the third day.

a prawn jumped out of the tank and went into the pond! D:

to prevent this from happening again,

my dad bought a new tank and attached a smaller filter!

ok so now i guess the prawns have upgraded into a 3 room flat.

but they lost their buddy to the big pond that's filled with guppies.

good luck!

the 3 remaining prawns look really healthy.

nice long whiskers-like thingy and slender long legs.

i've never really noticed that these were signs of happiness and harmony until today. (ya i assume that my prawns are really happy)

why do i say so?

because i decided to buy another 4 prawns today from the same shop and gosh!

i seriously think the prawns had a fight in that tank lor.

when i released them into my tank and observed,

all but one of them have no whiskers-like thingy,

and some of them have broken legs!

poor things okay i hope they recover soon!

legs are very important to the prawns cos they use them to clean their shells.
