havin a snooze

[helen nightingale]

photobucket has behaved! here is Betsy having a snooze



sorry for the crap picture quality - i just grabbed the camera and hoped she wouldnt notice. some of the others noticed, and came over to investigate:



and eventually she caught on and did the "this loach is reversing" trick

Lovely!

I can never capture an image of mine snoozing, they always shoot off when i approach.

Hi Helen,

Nice nap there!
How big is she?

Nice shot!

[Emma Turner]

Yay! More photos from Hels at last! (hint hint).

Great shots, Betsie is such a beauty.

Marcos: er, she is huge! maybe 5" ???? i am not sure as they havent co-operated with staying still near a ruler yet. she was fatter when i got her, but with the big tank with current to play in, she has lost a bit from her upper body. and the other loaches make sure that her and Bertha dont eat all the pies any more.

thanks for all the nice comments. i will most some more when i can get them in focus better

normally they shoot off as soon as they realise a camera is in hand, let alone turned on, so i thought i'd post anyway, and i sort of liked the loachy shadows in one these fish are so like cats
