Hi

When feeling low, who do you speak with? But you don't want to be telling the world about your issue's?

    Hello @Queen_K

    I am lucky to have a group of friends I can speak to. We tend to Skype once or twice a month and "put the world to rights" as my grandmother would say.

    Feeling Good today, thinking positive about things. Yesterday I went out to buy a few pet fish so when I feel low I look at them and it takes all my thoughts away.

    Good morning I’m glad you’re feeling good today. 
    And how lovely some new fish to cheer you up. 
    I’ve been thinking about getting a small fish tank and some fish. 
    I would really love a dig but I’m not fit enough just now to care for one. 
    Enjoy your day.  ❤️

    I'm glad the lil fishies are helping you @Queen_K, which species did you choose?  I used to love my fish tanks, they're great for your mental health. :) 

    (I'm a HUGE fish nerd, so I'm always happy to talk tanks with people)

    @Queen_K Awww lovely! Do you name them? I can imagine that to be very calming, to watch them in their tank <3

    I believe everyone can look after some animal. Enjoy your day also.

    @Albus_Scope
    The fishes I chose are called Chichilids, that is the type of fishes they are. I also brought a cleaning fish which just eats all the Algee around the tank.  

    @Hannah_Scope
    I did not name them yet, but I will be very soon. It is very calming to watch fishes swim around.

    Excellent choice! Cichlids have so much character and are great parents too. I used to have a pair of Rainbow Kribensis, which are a type of cichlid. :)

    Like most Cichlidae, they can get very territorial, but they're lovely to watch when they breed.  They lead the little babies around the tank. <3

    Oh that’s a beautiful wee fish love all the colours ❤️

    That's them in full mating colours @Lou67 they lose the pink belly the rest of the time.  But they are so good for mental health, I really miss my tanks. 

    I highly recommend some fishy friends if you feel up to it, once the bionics heal. ;)

    Oh I thought that was a photo off your fish, yeah I’m seriously considering getting just a smallish tank.
    I had a big tank years ago when my oldest daughter was about 1 I loved it.
