The hubby had some time off work during the 2012 Christmas period so we took E out to do some of his favourite activities. Number one on his list is feeding the fish in the koi pond at home. However, the koi only eat in the mornings and E wanted to feed them morning, noon and night which would have probably killed the fish pretty quick. Not to mention the overfeeding would have messed up the filtration system that is carefully tended to by my father-in-law.
So we took him to the Singapore Botanic Gardens to feed the fish in their (really big) pond. E had a great time feeding the koi and turtles. Then catfish noticed the food pellets and were rising to the surface to get their share. Some of them were huge! Almost as big as E. Which made me a little nervous about him standing so close to the edge. I was confident none of the catfish coming over for food pellets were big enough to swallow E, but the pond was huge and there is no telling what lurks in it's depths.
Ok, that sounded ominous so I'm just going to stop here. We all had a great time and everyone came home with all their limbs intact. But honestly, feeding the fish at the Botanic Gardens is free (bring your own fish food, the swans seem to prefer green veggies) and E loves it which is a win-win in my book.
