><((((º> Nothing But Fish

La Dee Da.

Things are good over here in FishLand. Inherited Fish are behaving like Inherited Fish, happily eating, sleeping and swimming around chasing each other away from their respective hallowed portion of the tank. My Fish Man was right, they're okay in the warmer temperatures, so long as the change isn't drastic. Their tanks consistently stay right around 80° to 82° these days.

You'd think they'd get it after about the fifth fish bite on the butt that "hey, this territory is MINE!" But no, three seconds later, they go right back to the claimed territory to try again.

The little white fish that I separated from the others is definitely a little boy. His dorsal fin has shaped into a pretty point and if I look closely, his fins are ever so slightly electric blue. You can hardly tell, it looks like he's swimming in front of something jewel colored, but it's definitely him. He is so pretty and is around 3" long. Just a couple more inches and he'll be the same size as his father.

The other babies are gradually getting bigger, I'm not sure why they're taking so long to get bigger. Guess they're the runts of the bunch or something.

Here's a picture of the white fish...



Hard to believe he was once one of these... just about the size of an uncooked grain of rice and transparent...
