Hera the Rainbowfish



Say hello to Hera, longtime resident of the community tank. In the background is a dude from the Columbian Tetra school (One of Six members - they are studying acting - he wants to play the role of a piranha).

Cichlid Baby "1"





  Here is a close-up of a new baby. I can see three, but I thought there was four the other day. Everyone seems to be doing well and Daisy is eating when shes not watchin' the kids.

Growing!

De Niro is becoming a Big Boy


This is a splitscreen image of Daisy's boyf(r)iend. He is becoming an adult and is changing from yellow to blue. This will let all the other fish know that he is the boss! At the rate of color change, he should look like the other Melanochromis johannii in the tank in a matter of days. You can see the anticipation in his eyes as he awaits the hatching of his offspring in the hospital tank. I think he just misses chasing Daisy around the tank.
