0:01:09 > 0:01:12Today, we're in Fleet to meet Paddy and his pets.
0:01:12 > 0:01:13I wonder what they are.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Let's go and find out. Come on!
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- Hello, Paddy.- Hello, Rory.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- And you must be Callum.- Hello, Rory.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Where are your pets?
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Over here. Come on!
0:01:37 > 0:01:39RORY GASPS
0:01:39 > 0:01:40Fish! Oh, wow.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43They are beautiful.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45How many different kinds of fish have we got in here?
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Can you tell me what they're called?
0:01:48 > 0:01:53Neon tetras and black neon tetras.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- And there looks like a stripy one there, too.- Yes.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00- Is that a zebra danio?- Yes. - Very handsome fish, indeed.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02What is your favourite?
0:02:02 > 0:02:04The neon tetra?
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- It's very bright and colourful, isn't it?- Yes.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08And it's good that they're bright colours
0:02:08 > 0:02:10cos that means they can see each other in the water.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12How many fish have we got in total?
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- Ten.- Ten fish.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16That's great that you've got quite a few fish in here.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20- Do you know what a group of fish is called?- Erm...no.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22It's called a shoal.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23It's great to be in a shoal
0:02:23 > 0:02:26because it means that you can look out for danger together
0:02:26 > 0:02:28and you can also find food together.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31What else have you got in here, apart from fish?
0:02:31 > 0:02:34I can see a little creature here. What's that?
0:02:34 > 0:02:35A water snail.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39A water snail! What is the water snail doing against the glass?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- He's eating some algae. - Eating algae!
0:02:42 > 0:02:45So, these snails help to clean the tank?
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- Yes.- That's really handy.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50And that snail does, as well.
0:02:50 > 0:02:51Oh, a big one, too.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54So you've got some small ones and big ones?
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Yeah, two big ones and I don't know where the other one is.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59It's hiding from you, just now.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- Could be in the shark's mouth. - In the shark's mouth?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04That seems dangerous. Have you got a shark in there?
0:03:04 > 0:03:05- It's not real.- Phew!
0:03:05 > 0:03:08I was a bit worried you had a real shark in your tank.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11And it was going to try and eat all the fish. Phew!
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Well, I love your fish, Paddy.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17They're very beautiful. I like them a lot.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Ferne, can you tell us fishy facts
0:03:19 > 0:03:22about our lovely, colourful new friends here?
0:03:22 > 0:03:25'Of course, Rory.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29'Fish come in all sorts of different shapes and sizes.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32'Some are very small, like this little clownfish.
0:03:32 > 0:03:37'And whale sharks, like this one, are the biggest fish in the world.
0:03:41 > 0:03:46'Tropical fish can be really colourful, like these ones.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48'Wow! Aren't they beautiful?
0:03:48 > 0:03:53'Some fish can glide above the water. It looks like they're flying.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55'Wowee!'
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Fish, especially tropical fish, like Paddy's,
0:04:05 > 0:04:08can be tricky to look after, so it's important that you know
0:04:08 > 0:04:10what you're doing before you get them.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Paddy, what do we have to do to look after the fish?
0:04:12 > 0:04:14We have to clean the tank.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17OK, what do we need to do first?
0:04:17 > 0:04:19We have to take the water out.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Yes, we're going to take a bit out and put some fresh water in.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Tap water is not great for fish, so we need to put
0:04:26 > 0:04:29some of this special stuff in to make it right for them.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32You keep me right here, Mum. I'm going to put a few drops in.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34- I put a little bit in the lid. Is that right?- Some in the lid.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Okey-doke.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39There we go. Place that down there.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43I'm going to use this little thing, it's called a syringe,
0:04:43 > 0:04:46to take out two millimetres.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48There we go.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51I'm going to pop this into our water from the tap
0:04:51 > 0:04:53to make it safe for the fish.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59OK, we'll just leave that there.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01What do we do next, Paddy?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04We take some of the old water out.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06- How many jugs?- Three.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Three jugs? Right. Will you help me count?
0:05:10 > 0:05:12- One...- One.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- Two...- Number two.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21- And...- And three.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25These are tropical fish, of course, aren't they?
0:05:25 > 0:05:28And this water is nice and warm, just right for them.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30OK, what do we do now, Paddy?
0:05:30 > 0:05:31Clean the sponge.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34OK, the sponge out of this filter here.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35Let me take this out.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- Are we cleaning it in here? - Yes.- Do you want to give me a hand?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42- Put your hands in there.- Yes.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Squeeze that out. That's it.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Get all the dirt out of it.
0:05:46 > 0:05:47Excellent work.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51- You've done this quite a few times, haven't you?- Yes.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53OK. Give that a wee squeeze out.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54OK, that's that clean.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57I'll pop this back in the filter.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00There we go. That's it. Dry your hands.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01Thank you very much.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Right, what do we need to do now?
0:06:04 > 0:06:07You've got to put the new water in.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Yes, the new water. The nice clean water.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10I think it's ready now.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Let me pick this up
0:06:12 > 0:06:15and pour it in...carefully.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22There we go. Nice, clean tank.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24What do we do now, Paddy?
0:06:24 > 0:06:28- We feed the fish. - What do we feed them?- Fish food.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Yes, fish food, because it's got all the nutrients
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- and good stuff that the fish need to stay healthy.- Yes.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Right, you tip some of that into my hand.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37Take a pinch of that.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44And how many times do you feed them a day, Paddy?
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Once a day.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- They're enjoying that. - Yeah, I think they love it!
0:06:49 > 0:06:52That's been a very successful feed.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54I've got fish fingers.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- Oh, we better wash our hands, then. - Yes.- Come on.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05It is difficult to have play time with a fish
0:07:05 > 0:07:08because they're in a tank and you can't really take them out,
0:07:08 > 0:07:10and you can't even get them a cuddle.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12But what's really interesting is watching them
0:07:12 > 0:07:14as they swim because they're very beautiful
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- and so colourful, don't you think?- Yeah.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19I think we should try and match the fish,
0:07:19 > 0:07:22get nice and colourful and have a bit of a neon party.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- What do you think?- Yeah!
0:07:24 > 0:07:26- Yes?- Why don't we invite my brother?
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Great idea. Come on, let's go and get ready!
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Ta-da!
0:07:50 > 0:07:52It's time for a neon tetra disco!
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Ta-da!
0:07:54 > 0:07:57DISCO MUSIC PLAYS
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Yeah!
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Good moves, Callum.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25- What do you think the fish think of our disco?- They love it!
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Yes, they do, don't they?
0:08:26 > 0:08:28It looks like they're dancing, too.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Yeah, it does, doesn't it?
0:08:39 > 0:08:40- ALL:- My Pet and Me!
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Wow, your fish are fast, aren't they, Paddy?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Yeah, they're super speedy!
0:08:47 > 0:08:50So, if your fish could do anything, what would they do?
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- Mm... - DRUMROLL
0:08:53 > 0:08:57If my pets could do anything, they'd be racing car drivers.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00They would have cars with neon stripes on the side.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02They would drive all around the world.
0:09:02 > 0:09:07They would win all the big racing competitions.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09They could be so fast.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11They're go faster stripes.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Paddy's fish are special tropical fish,
0:09:31 > 0:09:33so they couldn't live in the wild in this country.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36But our ponds and rivers are full of small fish,
0:09:36 > 0:09:39so it's worth having a good look for them.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42We've come to this lovely pond today to do just that.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46This is a special pond-dipping platform and it is perfect for us
0:09:46 > 0:09:50to find some fish and other creatures in the pond here.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Now, Paddy, shall we get going?
0:09:52 > 0:09:53- Yes!- Nets at the ready!
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Let's start pond-dipping.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Give it a good sweep.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10I haven't got anything.
0:10:10 > 0:10:11Have you got something?
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Paddy, I've caught something very cool...
0:10:14 > 0:10:16- A pond skater.- Whoa.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20- Let's put it in here so we can get a look at.- What is it?
0:10:20 > 0:10:21- See that?- Oh, is it that?
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- That, look!- Whoa.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26They skate around on the surface of the water.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27They can walk on water.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28Oh, they can!
0:10:28 > 0:10:30How cool is that?
0:10:30 > 0:10:31Have you got anything else?
0:10:31 > 0:10:32Oh, I do, actually.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35I've got a water boatman.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- Whoa, there! - Now, look at him closely.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40He's swimming on his back.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42- Do you know why he's called a water boatman?- No.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Because, look, he's got big paddles.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45And two legs.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Yeah, those two big legs, he rows with them.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51He moves along the water's surface. Do you see that? Look!
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- PADDY LAUGHS - It's so funny.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Like a rowing boat.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Yeah. He's got little oars and he scoots around.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- Oh, he's amazing, isn't he?- Yeah.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- Shall we have another dip?- Yes.- OK.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08- There could be some bugs over here. - Good idea, you try that side.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Any bugs?
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Oh, I have something!
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Do you? Let me see.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22It's moving.
0:11:22 > 0:11:23OK. Let me see.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Ooh, it's a really big bug.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Oh, wow!
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Oh, my goodness. That's amazing.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30You've managed to catch a newt!
0:11:30 > 0:11:32It's not a bug, at all.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Let's pop it in the water.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37I've never caught a newt before.
0:11:37 > 0:11:38- What a great find!- Oh!
0:11:38 > 0:11:40- It's very beautiful, isn't it?- Yes.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42They are a bit like frogs
0:11:42 > 0:11:45because they spend a lot of time in the water when they're young.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48When they're adults, they spend more time out of the water.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50But they always have to be close to the water
0:11:50 > 0:11:52because they are amphibians.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54- I know that.- You knew that?
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Yeah, they can go in water and on land.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58That's right. Absolutely!
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Oh, my goodness. I can't believe you got a newt.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- That's amazing! What do we have to do now?- Put him back.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Yes, we always put wild creatures back where we found them.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Bye-bye, creatures.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10It's a shame we didn't find any fish,
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- but we found loads of amazing creatures, didn't we?- Yes.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Paddy, I've had a fantastic time.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17I loved meeting your pet fish
0:12:17 > 0:12:19and it was great to come pond-dipping with you.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21- Thank you.- You're welcome.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32- Hello, Ferne.- High, Rory.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34- Hi, guys.- How was your day?
0:12:34 > 0:12:35It was amazing.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Wait till I tell you all about it.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43Today, I met Paddy and his tropical fish.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Together, we cleaned their tank and gave them some food.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51We had a groovy neon tetra disco,
0:12:51 > 0:12:54then we went pond-dipping and Paddy caught a newt!
0:12:56 > 0:12:59That sounds wonderful and you made some great friends as well.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Yeah, pets are great.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03But, remember, before you touch any animal,
0:13:03 > 0:13:05make sure it's OK with the owner first.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08That's right, but one pet you can play with is ours.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Go onto the CBeebies website and play
0:13:10 > 0:13:12the My Pet and Me game - it's amazing!
0:13:12 > 0:13:14We've had a fantastic day.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17We just love meeting you and your pets.
0:13:20 > 0:13:25# Today we met a lovely pet
0:13:25 > 0:13:28# We see how much you care for them
0:13:28 > 0:13:31# Thank you so much for sharing them
0:13:32 > 0:13:37# Time for us to just remind you
0:13:37 > 0:13:42# After you've played with your pet wash your hands
0:13:42 > 0:13:43# Don't forget!
0:13:43 > 0:13:46# It doesn't matter what pet you've got
0:13:46 > 0:13:49# You might have one, you might not
0:13:49 > 0:13:52# It's still fun finding out
0:13:52 > 0:13:55# What having a pet is all about
0:13:55 > 0:13:58# My pet, my pet and me
0:13:58 > 0:14:01# My pet, my pet and me
0:14:01 > 0:14:04# My pet, my pet and me
0:14:04 > 0:14:05# Come back and see
0:14:05 > 0:14:06# My pet and me. #
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- ALL:- Bye! - Bye!
