0:00:59 > 0:01:01# Have you met My pet and me? #
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Today, we're in Rugeley to meet Thomas and his goldfish.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Shall we go and find them? Come on.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- Hi, Thomas.- Hi, Rory.- And you must be Dad, hello.- Hi.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25- Now, I hear that you've got a goldfish. Is that right?- Yes.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29- Come inside and I'll show you. - Let's go then.
0:01:34 > 0:01:39Wow. So, these are your goldfish.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41What are their names?
0:01:41 > 0:01:47- Tails, there, and Sonic and Boggles. - Boggles.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50I think I could have guessed which one was Boggles
0:01:50 > 0:01:52because look at that fish.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Now, he is called a bubble eye fish and it's easy to see why.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00They've always got those funny eyes. Can you do an impression of one?
0:02:00 > 0:02:01With bulgy eyes.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05THEY LAUGH
0:02:05 > 0:02:06That was very good.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10And did you know that goldfish don't have eyelids,
0:02:10 > 0:02:14so they can't close their eyes? It's amazing, isn't it?
0:02:14 > 0:02:16That means they sleep with their eyes open.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18- Can you imagine doing that?- No.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21It's important that you make sure it gets dark
0:02:21 > 0:02:23at some point during the day.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Do you do that for your goldfish?
0:02:25 > 0:02:30- Yep, and I've got a night light.- Oh.
0:02:30 > 0:02:31- Turn that on.- Oh, perfect.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35So, you can change the colour of the light for evening.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38I like that a lot. That's very fancy.
0:02:39 > 0:02:45So, we've got Sonic as well. Why is Sonic called Sonic?
0:02:45 > 0:02:49- Because he's really fast. - Oh, I thought that might be why.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51And he looks like a common goldfish.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55And we also have our friend Tails. Why's he called that?
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- Because he has two tails.- Oh, I see.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02And he looks like a very special kind of goldfish
0:03:02 > 0:03:04called a fantail goldfish.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07They're very beautiful with those big,
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- long tail fins, aren't they?- Yes.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14- How long have you had your goldfish for?- One year.- Just one year?
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Hopefully you'll have them for many more
0:03:17 > 0:03:21because goldfish can live over ten years, if you look after them.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24I'm glad to see that you've got three in the tank
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- because goldfish love to live in little groups.- Yeah.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31People think that goldfish can't remember very much,
0:03:31 > 0:03:34but that is not true. Actually, they can learn things.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37If you feed your goldfish at the same time every day,
0:03:37 > 0:03:40they'll remember and wait for you.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43What is the best thing about your goldfish?
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- Watching them swim around. - It's lovely, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49It's very relaxing watching them.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Ferne, can you give us some facts about goldfish,
0:03:52 > 0:03:55just like Boggles, Sonic and Tails?
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Of course, Rory.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58One.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02A goldfish's teeth are not in their mouth, but, actually,
0:04:02 > 0:04:07in the back of their throat, and these teeth help them to crush food.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Two - a group of goldfish is called a troubling.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13That's a funny word, isn't it?
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Three -
0:04:15 > 0:04:18goldfish have a coating on their scales that helps
0:04:18 > 0:04:22keep them healthy, so it's important we don't touch them.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24We don't want to rub it off.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30- WOOF - Care Time!
0:04:32 > 0:04:35A lot of people think goldfish are easy to keep,
0:04:35 > 0:04:38but they do need to be cared for, just like any other pet.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Cos they live in a tank, they're entirely reliant on you to
0:04:42 > 0:04:44make sure everything is just right.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- So, Thomas, how do you look after your goldfish?- Clean them out.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Oh, that sounds very important because goldfish eat a lot,
0:04:52 > 0:04:55which means they poo a lot.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58They do. So, that means that every single week you have to clean
0:04:58 > 0:05:00out your goldfish, don't you?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03What do we have to do to clean them out?
0:05:03 > 0:05:07- Wipe the sides.- What do we use for that?- We get this big sponge.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Wow.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10Sponge on a stick. Great.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14Right, I'll have a go first and you can tell me what to do.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- Cleaning inside there.- OK.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21And I need to be very careful not to touch any of the fish
0:05:21 > 0:05:23because that could hurt them.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29Good work.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36OK, that's looking good. What do we need to do next?
0:05:36 > 0:05:40Take this out and then we'll have to change the filter.
0:05:43 > 0:05:44There's one...
0:05:46 > 0:05:48..and there's two.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52Goldfish need a tank with a filter to keep the water clean
0:05:52 > 0:05:56so they can stay healthy. Right, that's the filters. What's next?
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- You have to take some water out.- OK.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01How much water are we taking out?
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- To that line.- OK. That line, right.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08This is a lot of water we're taking out, isn't it?
0:06:09 > 0:06:10There we are.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21There we go. That's it. It's down to that line now.
0:06:21 > 0:06:26- OK, what do we need to do now? - Get some clean water.- OK, let's go.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35OK.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48'When changing the water, it must be treated first and then left to
0:06:48 > 0:06:52'reach room temperature before pouring it back into the tank.'
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- So, Thomas, what have you got in here?- A plant,
0:06:55 > 0:06:58so they can eat and hide in them.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02- Eat and hide in them? - Yep. They like doing that.- Yeah.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05It's important you get the right plants for goldfish
0:07:05 > 0:07:09because they should be safe for them. And what else is in there?
0:07:09 > 0:07:13There's this big barrel, so that they can sleep in it and hide.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Oh, sleeping and hiding. It's good to have lots of interesting things
0:07:17 > 0:07:21in your tank to entertain your goldfish.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23OK. That's the tank all filled up.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27- And now we have to put the filters in.- OK.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33There we go. What's next?
0:07:33 > 0:07:37- And we have to feed them. - How much do you have to feed them?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39A little, tiny bit.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41- Just a pinch?- Yeah.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- And what are you feeding them, Thomas?- Fish flakes.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Fish flakes, hmm.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49And then they should come up now.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53'It's a good idea to wait a while after changing the water before
0:07:53 > 0:07:57'you feed the fish, so we'll just give them a little treat for now.'
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- Great. Do you think they're very happy now?- Yes.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06- What do we need to do? - Wash our hands.- We do.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- MEOW - Wash your hands!
0:08:16 > 0:08:22- What are your goldfish doing, Thomas? - Swimming up and down the glass.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24They're having a great time.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28If your fish could do anything, what do you think they'd do?
0:08:28 > 0:08:29DRUMROLL
0:08:29 > 0:08:31GONG
0:08:31 > 0:08:37If my pet could do anything, they would be acrobats in the circus.
0:08:37 > 0:08:42They would do backflips and go on the high trapeze,
0:08:42 > 0:08:48and go on the seesaw. They would make a tall tower, with Sonic at the
0:08:48 > 0:08:54bottom, Tails in the middle and Boggles at the top.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- All the crowd would cheer. - CROWD CHEERS
0:08:59 > 0:09:01GONG
0:09:04 > 0:09:07We've come on a special trip to the local aquarium to see some
0:09:07 > 0:09:12- other fish and underwater creatures. Shall we explore?- Yeah.- Let's go.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19Do you know what these big, flat fish are, sitting on the bottom?
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- Rays.- Yes, that's right.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25It looks like they're flying through the water.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Sometimes they like to sit on the bottom. You see that one?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32They're quite different to your goldfish.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Do you know that rays are the same family as sharks?
0:09:35 > 0:09:37And they have a special skeleton.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41It's not made of bones, it's made of cartilage,
0:09:41 > 0:09:43which your ears are made of.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Can you touch your ear? What does that feel like?
0:09:46 > 0:09:47Quite bendy, isn't it?
0:09:47 > 0:09:52Yeah. That's what their skeletons are made of. Oh! Here comes a ray now!
0:09:52 > 0:09:54- Hello!- Oh.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Oh, look. Look at these guys.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06What are they?
0:10:06 > 0:10:10These ones are called sunstars. You can see one up here, a little one.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26- THOMAS LAUGHS - Hey!- Hey, guys.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Penguins are birds, but they're not very good at flying.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33They're very good at swimming, just like fish, though.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37- It's like a penguin show. - It is like a penguin show, isn't it?
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Oh, they're very fast, aren't they?
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- Whoa.- Wow.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55Are they not beautiful? Look at them. Look at the jellyfish.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59Do you know how old they are? How long they've been on the planet?
0:10:59 > 0:11:04They were around before the dinosaurs. 650 million years.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Wow.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27- Look at all these fish here. - They're swimming up on top of us.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Over our heads.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33- Look at that big turtle. - He's huge, isn't he?
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- He's almost as big as you. Do you know what his name is?- What?
0:11:36 > 0:11:40It's Molokai and he is almost 40 years old.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42That's even older than me.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Look at the sharks. Do you know what these black and white stripy ones
0:11:46 > 0:11:50- with the yellow on top are called? - No.- Sergeant majors.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53You should give them a salute. Yes, sir.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00- Wow.- Wow.- Look at that ray and his big, smiley face.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- It's coming, look!- Whoa.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11Thomas, thank you very much for letting me meet your goldfish
0:12:11 > 0:12:14and for coming to this amazing aquarium with you.
0:12:14 > 0:12:19- I've had a great day.- Thank you for coming with me.- Not at all.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27My Pet And Me!
0:12:29 > 0:12:34- Hi, Ferne.- Hi, Rory.- Hi, Holly. Hi, Berry.- I'm trying to make their beds,
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- but they're not being very helpful. - I can see that.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41- You look happy. What have you been up to?- I'm very happy.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43I had a great time with my new friends,
0:12:43 > 0:12:45- it was so much fun.- That's lovely.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49Pets are brilliant, but you shouldn't touch an animal
0:12:49 > 0:12:53- unless the owner says it's OK.- Two pets you can play with are ours.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Go on to the CBeebies website and play the My Pet And Me game.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00Thanks for spending time with us. We hope you've had fun too.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02OINK OINK
