New fish!!!

New additions! We went to Slippery Little Suckers, our favourite REAL fish shop and Roger introduced us to 'BoofHead' and some of his mates in their display tank. There were some beautiful congo tetras which fully grown were 9cm. But "BoofHead" a big pale yellow, black speckled discus (the size of a small dinner plate) stole the show. To convince them to come out Roger threw in a little food which had everything scampering around except for "BoofHead". Roger flicked him away and then explained to us that BoofHead had taken his dietary requirements to live food only! And it would ignore all other foods until he got what he wanted!!! Just like a cat!

We spent a lovely time there and chose some new babies home to join the mad house currently there. We got 3 red tetras and 1 male congo tetra and 2 female congo tetras.

Because they are such buggers to photograph (and i need a new camera) here are some professional shots of these types of fishes. (linked from www.zoo.ch and www.aquahouse.co.kr respecitvely.


So far so good! the congos go spacko when theres food, darting around even moving quicker than the swordtails! swiping the food from underneath their noses!!! very entertaining!
