Tired Mum and Tired Dad
Normally Mama and Papa have black stripes on their bodies but when they're tired or need to sleep they switch them off.
Must get smaller cleaning hose
or spend the rest of the night on my knees with a turkey baster sucking up babies.

Vegans and Seafood Lovers
Some like shrimp... and some like their greens.
the big fat ones with pink tummies like their brine shrimp, the skinny ones with green bellys prefer to graze on the algae growing everywhere (because the lights are on 24/7)

BAD FISH!!!Patch is bigger than Saddleback and is picking Harry Kewl to shreds. so into the doghouse he goes.
Aggressive, Protective Parents
These two would put any agro parent coaching their 3 year old to kick a soccer ball to shame...But they keep the catfish at bay so thats a good thing i suppose.

YoYos
New Fish have joined the tank, these are called YoYo Loaches but officially called Pakistani Loaches (Botia Lohachata) i guessYoYo is more appealing. name so because on their side it looks like the word YoYo have been written down them.
The little snails that were introduced to deal with the algae, have now overun the tank and my plants have a rather spotty nature. The Hurstville Aquarium shop suggested that i put in some loaches.
They are rather interesting, one little loach was foraging when Patch tried to check him out, i wish i had a photo of it!! a little white fish and a big massive angel hehehe. While the other three are occupying themselves with dancing up and down the right side of the tank.

Baby Socceroos defeated by Cardinal Tetras
The eggs grew fur, and so did the plants (algae bloom) so the lights were switched off... and tonight prior to bed i had a look see, and the mother had abandoned the eggs and some very happy Cardinal Tetras were feasting.
Oh well theres always next time.
But first a tank make over!

HAHA! Fooled ya!! BUT...
Another event on that fateful day of 23rd of June
OMG! OMG! OMG! After celebrating the Socceroos Draw and entry into the World Cup Top 16...
Right now I'm watching them lay eggs on a high-rise ambulia leaf! Patch and Saddleback are either practising egg laying or fertalizing them, while the unnamed female splotchy now named Harry Kewl for the footballer that saved the Socceroo's bacon.
Ill now have to call all the babies socceroos! Or maybe I'll name 3/5 of them "Ole!" and the remainder "Aussie!"
Pity they will be black white and gold not blue green and yellow. But its still an event worth recording!
Steph and I are Grandparents! ROFL
