Yeah, I feel bad when I intend to post pics and updates, but then don't get it done. But I keep trying. I've made it a point to try to take a little day each day to visit here since I really miss everyone.
I was watching my rainbows this morning, and I could only find 4 females, not 5. Scared me! I kept watching and watching, but there were only 4. It scared me because I had put Hikari Crab Cuisine in the tank for my amanos, and the rainbows went after them! Rainbows have small throats and can choke! So I was afraid I had choked one (didn't know they'd go after the CC like they did).
So I put my hand up against the glass which naturally attracts the rainbows to come running like a puppy dog running up when you first come back home!
I kept counting and counting and counting, and sure enough, there were only 4 females.
But then something caught my eye, and I started counting the males. Turns out I have 6 males, not 5! So I have 6 males and 4 females instead of the 5/5 ratio I thought I had. I guess one of the males had pale coloring when I bought him and has colored up since.
So you know what this means.... I cannot have 6 males and 4 females because the males will badger the females (I swear, they remind me of guppies). So I just
HAVE to get more females!
For the health and well-being of the fish, of course. Not because I really like them and wouldn't mind a couple more.
I'll try to get the pics of the rainbows posted sometime today. I'm really loving them!
