HI! Who are you? Are you going to Feed me or What?!?

New Babies!

I really like the guys at Eukbana! they may have weird piercings all over their faces but they are so pet orientated! (Its kinda funny seeing a 6 foot guy with tats, dreadlocks and facial piercings going goo-goo gaa-gaa over a little carmel poodle with a nice pretty face.)

The goldfish were looking a bit lonely in their massive tank so we decided to get them some playmates. Enter in 10 Danios, mixture of Lepoard and Zebra.

The Body of a Zebra DanioZebra Danios have long horizontal stripes on them running from head throught to tail.

the tail of a zebra danioThey originated off the Cormmandel Coast of India, according to the LFFB. They are peaceful, VERY Active schooling fish. They like clean well areated water and only grow to about 5cms in length. Feeding wise they will eat everything, and flit about looking for more food.


The Lepoard Danios are not as vividly striped but under the right light they have a lovley irridecent pink/blue along with their irregular spots. Not exactly true lepoard danios according to the photo in the LFFB, but lovley none the less. They grow a little bit bigger than the Zebras (6cms) and are easier to photograph. the Zebras were buggers!

The Goldfish dont really stand a chance but they have bigger mouths and can suck more down.

Little Brother's Revenger

Last night Steph Ed and myself were entertained by the angels as they fought amongst themselves.

Patch and Saddleback are now about the size of my palm (including fins) and of the 4 new angels (big bigger than a 50cent peice) we brought in one has turned out to be a little bit of a fighter.

There was a stand off for about 15 minutes... Patch and little fighter on one side and Saddle back on the other. Spreading their feelers, arching up and twitching foward as if daring an attack from the opposition.

Ed and i have thus christen our gusty fighter as (Sai Loh Boh Sau) aka Little Brother's Revenger

TankCam is back up! woohoo!

:) thanks to a bit of scavaging (i found some abandons speaker stands) we have the tankcam sitting a bit away from the tank to give a better view of the tank overall
