My poor Oscar, the 2 year old oscar-fish (one of the original fish that Richard and Miranda stocked the tank with...) committed fish-suicide the other day. That means, he jumped out of the tank and was on the floor. Boo, hoo. I had been treating him for an unknown illness - I think the medication must have bothered him because he actually had to lift the cover of the tank to jump out.
So, I had the local pet store in Asheboro order me some new ones - pretty stripes on these! No too easy to see because they are still in the plastic bag getting acclimated to the bigger tank temp. I hope they do OK with the large chileads that are in the tank already! So far, so good!

Awww, I'll bet they'll be beautiful! I hope they stand up to the cichlids and don't let them bite them!
Pretty fish. Fasten that lid down. MOM
I'm sorry, but I kinda' giggled at this one...good thing Oscar wasn't green or of the plant variety (oh, did I say that out loud!)
