I wanted to have a pet in my annexe at Willow Tree Lodge. I spoke with Bridget, the manager from Willow Tree Lodge, where I live, and came up with the idea of having a fish.

I went to the aquatics in Woking with my mum on my Easter stay and the man in the shop said Guppy Fish were good fish because some fish can be aggressive. After Easter, I bought some ornaments and pretend plants for my fish tank at the Aquatics in Basingstoke with the staff.

I bought a magical castle and a bridge ornament for my fish tank. My mum paid for the fish tank from the Aquatics shop online. A week after, I bought gravel for the bottom of the fish tank then I put all the ornaments and plants, and water in the fish tank thanks to staff, Fred who has knowledge around Fish tanks. Then I had to leave the fish tank for a week for the water to settle.

At a Later week, I bought my fish. Seven male Guppies from the Aquatics in Basingstoke and fish food to feed my fish. I really like my fish tank because I have a remote control to change the colour of the lighting and also, I really love my 7 fish.

This is making me feel calm. Thank you, to all staff in Willow Tree Lodge and Alex our Ops Manager for the support.
