New Fishes

I added some new fish to my tank this past weekend. Of course, since they are small little ones, they are darting all over the place and impossible to catch on camera!

They are called "Silvertip Tetra's" They have a very neat white tip to their fins that you see when viewed at certain angles (or under an aquarium light). I got four of them for my tank, and they are fitting in wonderfully. And Gary, the snail, is making an appearance in the bottom corner of the pictures :)

Vesuvius and Charlie do not mind them at all - they all sort of just keep to themselves, until feeding time - and then it's fishes darting everywhere for the food - but luckily not at each other :) I don't have a name for the four of them yet, I will have to think on it some more. It is likely that they won't get a name, since they're so hard to distinguish from each other. 

Gary

I've been busy moving all week, that why there haven't been many posts. I'm almost all the way moved over to the new house. Just thought I'd share Gary's balancing act along my fishtank plants. He's got skills!

Meet Gary: My New Snail

Please meet Gary, my new aquarium snail :) I bought him to keep my aquarium with Ghost a little cleaner a little longer. He's pretty shy, but he did climb to the top of Ghost's "castle" during the middle of the night. 

Oreo is totally jealous, of course....he would be jealous of a snail!

And, Ghost isn't sure what to make of him. He consistently 'stares him down' though. Last evening, he must have stared him down for a couple hours straight. It wasn't until I tapped on the tank that he finally broke out of his trance and swam around a little bit.
