Some fish close-ups
Their tummies are fat because they got blood worms for the first time... and they were pigs.

Well... I finally went to Petsmart again. I only spent $82 this time. heh.
I had to get some plant food (Flourish). Then I saw some ceramic noodles and I need some more. I went ahead and got some aquarium decor and some carbon... just in case.
Oh yeah... I got some fish too.
I got 4 more Neons for a school of eight... if they all get along.
I watched three gourami tanks for about an hour and then picked two blue gouramis and brought them home too. I'll wait until they're settled and take some picks.
BTW: I saw some interesting behavior in that tank. It was the standard pet store crowded tank. There must have been 20 blue gouramis in the tank.
There were two obviously dominant fish. Both were brightly colored and fairly aggressive towards the duller fish. What was fascinating was that when the two dominants went to the same side of the tank... one of the dull fish (on the opposite side) would suddenly become very brightly colored and start fin nipping and chasing other fish.
When the two super dominant ones came back, the pretender would get very dull and very passive.
I hope I did OK. I got the two super dominant ones. They were obviously active, healthy fish. They're going into a 55g tank, so they should find room without bothering each other.
Pics soon.
