Fish Pond Cleaning Report

The last contribution of LAS before the school holidays was the fish pond cleaning activity. It was held on 15 August 2008 (Friday).

We did a number of things on that fateful day. In short, we cleaned the fish pond, remove excessive algae and replaced the murky water with fresh, clean water, and in the process, killed a few fishes too -- But more of that later.

We began by catching the fishes from the pond. LAS owns one fish net that could barely hold a koi, nevertheless a Bandaraya. Therefore we opted for the traditional method, which is by using our bare hands to catch the fishes. However, we did improvise a little by using a wire netting to 'trap' the fish in a corner before scooping it up with a pail. Or catching it using the hands-on method whenever the pail method proves to be unsuccessful.

Ingenious? Hmm.. you'll have to judge us on that.

The process was tiring and occasionally frustrating. It was very trying for the LAS members though. Catching fish isn't as easy as it seems. Still, it was accomplished eventually. The fishes were situated in pails whilst the cleaning process went on. Algae and moss were scrubbed, and the ancient bird statue was repositioned in order to ease the cleaning process.

By then, the fishes were already surfacing for oxygen. It was a worrying sight indeed.

The exciting part has barely begun. We are only just about at it.


Sorry to be a disappointment, but the story ends here. We'll let the pictures speak for themselves.


Casualties: 4

It was the largest number in LAS history and was very, very daunting indeed. Still, there's room for improvement. Keep up the good(?) work, guys (and girls)!
