Loughton School

Our new fish friends

Recently, the school aquarium has been brought back to life, with live plants and aquatic soil. The children have been asking non-stop, when they would be getting some fish!

This week, with it now ready, it has been filled with the children's new little friends: 3 Panda Cory's, who will help clean up the bottom of the tank; 5 sucker-mouth Otocinclus, who will keep the glass and plants clear; 4 Amano Shrimp, who will take care of all the smaller debris and algae; and 10 beautiful male guppies, who will just poop a lot. 

Have a look at this "fin-tastic" video trailer made by one of our year 5 children, Gabby, who was inspired by their arrival: https://youtu.be/vVwtQ_cZNGY
