They are so much fun!

What are the bulky stripey guys who ate down the middle? (Not the striata.) I am determined to learn who all these guys (species ID) are.

[mickthefish]

i think you mean the dario's the other stripes are histrionica an almorhae's.
what did you think of the clicks i'm sure it's to do with the jaw movement.?

Mick, I have a very slow internet connection, but I was able to load half of the movie while getting the breakfast dishes done. You have lovely fish. I saw a gorgeous kubotai and lovely yoyos.
My only disappointment was that you didn't have a speaking part in the movie.

[mickthefish]

even i don't like hearing me speak, so why subject some other poor sod to it.
but you did hear my zippo lighter shutting.

I am so amazed those are Darios, since I have three. But of course, now I remember that whole discussion about how young and older fish can look pretty different. I will learn this stuff eventually. I recognized the Yoyos, since I have younger and older fish.

I would love to know how they click. First time I heard it, I thought they were smacking gravel against the glass. Then I realized they were clicking. I know I read that it could be their eye spines being popped, but I would think I would see them. I recently discovered that Clowns bite pretty hard. I was feeding mine a choice morsel and the clowns were so enthusiastic, they were biting my fingers. Didn't break the skin, but surprising.

I am sure you know about the basic fascination many Americans have with how people in the UK speak. I don't mean just England. Next time you video tape, let us hear you talk to your fish.

[shari2]

No, don't talk to the fish. They'd probably not appreciate it. Talk to us.

[starsplitter7]

No, don't talk to the fish. They'd probably not appreciate it. Talk to us.

thats my male histrionica, i think MD has the same kind, i'm sure ive seen a pic of his with them on.

cheers all for the kind comments, except me talking on the video.

[san-ho-zay]

Great video! Great to see them tucking in!

[bslindgren]

Great video Mick (you should quit smoking though )! There was a kubotai coming in early in the video - exactly the same slanted markings in the middle as one of mine - perhaps they are related?
I can't get my striatas to take any interest in veggies at all. My clowns and kubos love zucchini, but my striatas will sniff it and then ignore it. When I feed them flakes or frozen shrimp or similar they are like shark in a feeding frenzy though.
