Remember this post from last year? 👆

True to our word when it came to shut down the plant tables last year we made sure to save any of the nymphs we could find and move them over into our little wildlife pond where we've been keeping a close eye on them over the winter and start of this year.

This morning while tidying up the decking out front we've found one of the freshly-shed now-adult offspring expanding it's wings! What a little beauty 😍

Good evening everyone, we've had a delivery of pond plants in.

We've had the long awaited return of loose water lettuce and potted marestail, a veritable sea of iris species (including some nice flowering sibirica "not quite white") and the perennial favourite that is frogbit!

A new proposal being discussed in the UK could significantly change the future of fishkeeping.

This proposal centres on a ‘positive list’ system, in which only a limited number of approved species would be allowed to be kept, sold, or traded. While the intention is to improve animal welfare, there are growing concerns within the industry about the potential unintended consequences.

Industry experts, including the Ornamental Aquatic Trade Association (OATA), warn that this approach could:

• Restrict fishkeeping to a very small number of species
• Exclude many commonly kept fish simply due to a lack of available data, rather than any proven risk
• Create more welfare issues, rather than solving them

At present, there is no clear evidence that a positive list system would improve animal welfare outcomes.

This is an important moment for fishkeepers, hobbyists, and businesses to have their voices heard.
