New little fish...

Post by MatsP »

I had to get a little fish when I got to the shop today. Someone moving got rid of their fancy plecos, and I picked this little guy up:

Lovely little fish, good luck growing him up :thumbsup:
Q) Why are dead fish harder to 'wind up' than live fish?
A) Because dead fish never take the bait! ;)

It doesn't appear to be very agressive. It's in a tank with some
Synodontis flavitaeniata
and Barbus fasciolatus. I'm not sure where to move it to when it gets bigger - perhaps my big RIO400 will be the next place for it. But at the moment, it's tiny, and having it in a small tank with gentle friends is a good thing.
