New Phish!

In true 'me' style I went out and bought some more fish, and continuing the 'me' trend I got more than I originally intended. I now have 26 Fish in the one tank... The fish shop people tell me that's fine and I needn't worry about being over stocked. I'm almost certain they're wrong but I just can't help myself sometimes.

So I went down this morning with the intention of buying 1 more albino corydoras and 2 bronze corydoras, same species. Came home with 2 albinos, 3 bronze, and this fellow:

He (I'm pretty sure) is a German golden ram, a colour variant of the standard German blue ram, a type of cichlid.

I purchased him because my girlfriend wanted a new favourite fish after Bruce passed away. I hope she like him, cause he was 4 times as expensive as your typical betta.

Anyway, here are the corydoras I bought:

All 6 new fish

Till next time.

R.I.P. Bruce

Sadly, Bruce, my fighter fish, passed away a few days ago.
One of my original 5, Bruce was my favourite in the tank. Over the 4.5 Months that I had him he had grown stunning, flowing fins that were the envy of all in the tank.

After Gus had gone, Bruce also started to bloat.

We'll miss you Bruce.

I think I may forgo any sort of replacement for Bruce, and instead get some companions for Dory.
