Fish Are Fun

If you've read my blog before, you know we don't ever get "normal" fish. They may look normal, but they are part of the Nuthouse charm.

Son's tank once held 5 tetras, and 2 frogs. we lost a frog, and just recently 3 tetras. Time to restock.
I looked around at the fish stores, took the kids to pick out which they liked.
Son liked the really bright yellow and pink tetras. so, 2 yellow, and one pink.

we took them home and got them into the tank. Generally the bigger fish will go after the smaller ones- so we watched to make sure the 2 current fish didn't eat the new ones.

As it turned out, we discovered the smaller tetra was nibbling at the larger one's fins. When it wasn;t chasing that one, it went after the smallest of the new fish.

no! no ! no ! naughty fish!

A while back I had purchased a seperation 'pen' for the tank. its a net that hangs inside the tank, to quarantine or breed fish in.

We put the naughty little tetra in time out.
