Newly acquired stinkers

Post by Rocco » Sat Sep 29, 2007 4:31 am

I went to a local pet place to buy my fish some tubifex worms as a treat for being really nice guys. Lo and behold, I found 6 1" skunk loaches in a small tank waiting for me.

So I bought them. Pics to follow.

They are little hooligans, lookout! (the fish store that I bought them from does good quarantine proceedures and their fish are in excellent condition) so when I put them in the tank, these little hooligans started to school up and explore.

They took notice of the glowlight tetras I keep just to put life in the middle and upper sections of the tank and began to check them out and swim with them.

This got old so they began to check out their neighbors, the Three small black ghost knifefish I'm growing out, the 6 clown loaches, and the bristlenose pleco I keep to eat the algae.

Getting bored with these, they decided to scour the bottom for food. Not finding any and getting bored, they moved on to explore the upper area of my tank and do their loachy dance. Afterwhich they played in the stream of the powerhead.

Finally, I found one in the tubes of my defunct UGF (don't worry, I cleaned the gravel before killing it, it was making a mess) How it got there, I don't know but I let the bugger out.

I figure I'm going to move them to a tank of their own soon but then I think about having to catch them and :roll:
