New Fish
I treated myself to 24 new fish on Sunday. Mostly because the originals had died of old age, jumping out of the tank, or were breeding in uninteresting colours.
So I am now the proud owner of:
10 new cherry barbs (I already have some but I like these little fish)http://www.thinkfish.co.uk/community_results.php?id=4.html
10 neon tetras (tiny compared to everything else, but the colours are amazing)
http://www.thinkfish.co.uk/community_results.php?id=43.html
And 4 platies, same species as I have but a totally different variety and very pretty. Coral body with two red strips running vertically down - very striking.
Apparently a 'red tiger platy' - http://verslun.tjorvar.is/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=90&products_id=6078&osCsid=t9nglv1t8dggj0eafuk8k4ikv0
The tank feels a bit cramped and busy but I'm sure they'll soon settle down.
