Hey guys, i don't know if the above fish is odd enough, but i just posted it in here just in case.

So yeah i've got four of these little fellas, i already love them to death. Great fish to have.

Anyone else here have some, and would like to tell me interesting stories about them or things i should know about them.

So yeah i just like the fact that they are extremely active, and a joy to watch at feeding time. As they can't see the floating down food, they go crazy with all the sweet scents of food, then they realise its easier to just eat the food from the bottom.

GREAT LIL FISH

thney are cool fish. Watch out if you've got scabs on your hands, cos they will eat the scabs!! Gross and icky, but kinda cool.

Mine circle constantly in the tank, I think that the powerful jet from the filter makes them think they are moving, and the circling is a way of getting thei bearings.

i love the way they sniff around the floor of the tank like dogs to hoover up the food

I like to think that whoever designed marine life was thinking of it as basically an entertainment medium. That would explain some of the things down there, some of the unearthly biological contraptions
