My New Dojos ~ Pictures

Post by MoonPye » Sat Oct 27, 2007 7:03 pm

I was surprised I was able to get a few pictures of the new arrivals today. They are currently in the quarantine tank, which has gravel, but when their quarantine is up they will be living in the 55 gallon with my other dojos and danios.

The one I got has very interesting spots & markings on him.

And I also got two golds, a male and a female. Only one was cooperative in the picture taking process, though. I had to leave the tank light off and bribe them out with brine shrimp or else they stayed in hiding.

Even though they are acting a little skittish, they are acting normal and eating. I hope they'll settle in nicely in only a few days without too much stress. I don't have live plants in this tank, so I can leave the light off for long periods to hopefully make them more relaxed.

Clowns-6 is a group and more is never too many, providing the aquarium is large enough.

Thank you everyone. I'm really taken with the speckled one too. :-)

Everyone looks good this morning, the two golds were even doing the loachy dance. :-) Hopefully they're all in good health and stay that way and get into the 55 gal soon!!
