This is nothing to do with my creativity, but I just wanted to show off the latest addition to our family - Medaka (or Ricefish)! We have a small fish tank with gold fish which we adopted from our old Japanese friend who used to live in Melbourne but returned home 4 years ago. Initially 3 fish, but now reduced to 1 after the untimely death of 2 of them, the gold fish has been enjoying the freedom of the fish tank all to himself until last Thursday. We added 4 Medaka to our fish tank. The gold fish we affectionately named, Rock 'n' Roll, has been dominating the tank and pushing the Medaka to the side, but gradually Medaka seem to find their presence in this small water world. Another reason that I wanted to have Medaka is that there is a famous Japanese nursery rhyme called "Medaka no gakko (School of Ricefish)". Now everytime I look into the fish tank, and see these little fish swim, I think of this beautiful children's song and think of old time Japan. Kids are so happy to have new pets.
