Basically im new to tropical fish keeping and this is my farourite fish. I will be taking a photo of my red tail (hes called deporto) every 2 weeks for a whole year. I think it will be interesting to watch deporto's growth throughout the year and why not share it..

As you can see his body is alot darker & his tail has now got a lovely deep red color. I would say he has grown alot fatter and about 1 Centimeter longer. At only 2 weeks he is already showing his authority, when he doesn't want other fish around his area he is quick to chase them off! Although on a whole I would say he is a good mixer with the tetras & guppies at the moment. He mainly scavanges around the bottom of the tank but will come to the surface every other feed time. He is very active & doesn't hide away like I thought he would, he loves to explore the tank
