soooo...... we got a fish today!!! went to the LFS in our town and found some really gorgeous dwarf gouramis. there was one in particular that seemed to have a really fun personality. when the manager went in to get him and stuck the net in and everything, he was super curious and stayed at the top to see what was going on. the rest pretty much hung out by the bottom. anyway, we really liked him so we bought him! they said they had had him for about a week. btw he is a flame dwarf gourami, he's got a white head which fades into yellow to bright orange over the rest of him. after we acclimated him, we had a little accident..... since our nets don't fit into the bag, we dump the bag into a little bucket to scoop the fish from there...well....when dumping the bag all the water came out, the fish stayed in the bag, so when trying to get it out of the bag, he fell on the floor 8-O
so i immediately scooped him into my hand and placed him in the tank. he sat with his tail resting on the substrate for a few, then started moving around. we let him explore for a bit, then fed him a few flakes. he got all excited and ate up the flakes, going all the way to the surface for some. i hope everything is fine, he seems to be happy. i guess we'll see, pictures to come in a little bit!!
oh and the store was having a sale, 20% off any fish that is red, white, or blue, so the manager gave us the discount, even though he is orange
i think he was impressed with how much i knew, and the fact i had an already cycled tank. all thanks to AA!!
