Angels and Ghosts

Well, yesterday I got the 4 ZL angels and the Black Ghost Knife fish, probably only hours after they came into the shop. These will probably be the last new fish for a while now, with the possible exception of the whiptail. The tank probably has as much fish as it can easily take tho.


The angels are still settling in, they mostly all stay together. But recently, they've been swimming around some more.


The little BGK 'Poe' swimming outside of his daytime home, the cave. For a nocturnal fish, he sure swims around in the day a lot...


He swims using only his long anal fin, no use of the tail. Apparently it's because the electric field BGKs use to navigate gets distorted if they bend around too much, so it's easier to sense their surroundings if they stay straight.


Because they only use their long anal fin to swim means they are often moving around backwards, upside down, vertically, or any combination of the above. This makes for an extremely entertaining fish to watch!


As I said, fun to watch!


And the tank as it is now. If you compare this picture with one of the older planted pictures, you'll notice all the plants have definitely grown, but the stalk the red amazon has sent out hasn't. I may trim it off, and see if it'll grow a new one.
