HAHA! GOTCHA! no, i'm not pregnant. but imagine my surprise when i got home from hyogo to find our family had increased by about 25! i'm not kidding! there are about 20 goldfish, and some bell crickets. i don't know how many bugs, more than one, but perhaps no more than five. apparently my in-laws brought them over for the kids, when MIL came to help yoshi take care of the kids while i was gone.
there's even a new fish tank, though i'm not sure who got it. of course, i'm the one who got the rocks, backing, torii gate and plastic plants for the fish. hopefully they won't get any bigger because this tank just isn't big enough for 20 fish!
the crickets are really noisy. that's the whole point, apparently, but ugh. they make the dog bark, too. quite annoying! oh well, soon enough we'll be bug free. the two kabuto-mushi have passed on. now, to wait out the crickets and fish...

And I thought I had it hard with MIL bringing over 20 *grilled* fish at a time!
The bell crickets are noisy as all get up and then eat each other and get much much quieter. :)
we started with ten fish from the kinder festival and are down to 2. They keep dying and the big one keeps eating their tails. The tank is a good size for two now though and they seem to be happy. Damn cleaning the tank is a pain too. Good luck :)
Yay for mother in laws. Take her a cage full of fifty kuma cicadas next time you visit.
