Couldn't have wished for betta, @Mi-Amigo - thanks, and well done all!

Thanks @Mi-Amigo Well done all.

[TallTrees]

Hi @Mi-Amigo  .. thanks for the quiz results..

Not as bad as thought.   Worried about getting the kings IIs and IIIs mixed up 🙄

not confident on them.  

Had a tropical fish tank at home very interesting all work! Filters, feeding, cleaning!  I remember these beautiful fish. Loved visiting the Aquarium shop always looking at the different tropical fish with their exotic names and looks.  All different sizes too.  Enjoyed very much.

 

[Cleoriff]

Really chuffed with that. Particularly as I had NO idea of the cricket question. Simply a guess! 

Thanks @Mi-Amigo and well done all xx

[jonsie]

Well done everyone, truly marvellous !

Thanks once again @Mi-Amigo
