Fer real! Today I went over to my local pet store and purchased a very
small [2=B9/=B2 inches long] Plecostomus [Pleco] catfish. But that's not the fish that I am posting about here. Within the clear plastic bag full of aerated fresh water and my little Pleco, was a little tiny fish, no bigger than a pencil-tip. I have no way of telling just what kind of fish it is. All I do know is that so far it's still alive, and that I'm going to do what ever I can to help it grow as big as it can, and be just as healthy as it can. It is currently residing in my Tank #3, a 10 gallon tank which is the only one equipped with a heater, and also houses a very puny-looking' Betta splendens, or Siamese Fighting fish. Hopefully the warmer water [85-6=B0F] will promote the skinny Betta's ["Pax"] appetite, because he looked so bad to the pet shop owner, that he was going to throw him out, in part because the customers were making so much comment about how sickly he looked. "Pax" is really super skinny, especially when I place him next to any of my 10 other Bettas. Hopefully he will get much better, but not so much that he thinks that that almost invisible baby fish is lunch. And that the little tiny fish will grow up to be full gown,...Like I said earlier, right now I haven't the foggiest idea what species it is, and have as of yet not seen it eat anything, even though I have offered it extremely small samples of every type of flaked and pellet-type fish food that I have. Does any one have any suggestions or comments about any of this? Pax Vobiscum,...~Dean. |
