two more for the road

After getting a good photo of Fishbo yesterday (and returning him to his rightful home of the net), I decided to see if we could get some better photos now that the Von Trapp Family Swimmers are a bit larger. They are two and a half weeks old, after all! *waves pom poms, blows party favor *

I still have trouble getting a good side view, but here is a photo from the top-down after a feeding. You can see better how some of them are lighter orange and some have a more vibrant color, and how they all have black tails. Some have spots and some don't, although the peachy-colored ones are mostly plain right now.


They are also terribly curious, which I find hilarious since their parents immediately dart behind plants when anyone walks by the tank. I come over with a camera, and the Swimmers immediately. . .investigate.

It's kind of adorable. Also, they know at this point that if I'm around, food will probably follow. This is true of most people who hang out with me, but the fish especially of late. I'm going to have to monitor their intake so they don't all become gluttons. My tank is only so large, and you cannot hike over the Alps if you are all wide and wobbly.*

* "But Stephanie. You cannot hike over the Alps if you're a fish anyway." To this, I respond, pish tosh! These fish can do just about anything. For example, they have an astonishing ability to trash my apartment during the week whilst I merely sit on my behind and read. Shocking little troublemakers, they are. Shocking.
