Crenuchus spilurus, ( sail fin tetras ) my journey...

[Magnum Man]

I was gone all day yesterday, from 1st light, until last light, so no fish observations yesterday...

but I fed at 1st light this morning, since they didn't get fed yesterday... ( Ultra Fresh micro pellets I linked in my food thread the other day )... 5 of them out eagerly eating this morning the others may still have been in their personal spots, but the ones in the mixed Tetra shoal, starting to hang in a sub group, in the mixed shoal... maybe the result of attention from the mature palmeri's... I see the sailfins this morning exploring around the nooks and crannies of the nice piece of driftwood in the center of the tank, after feeding...

with as shaded as this tank is, these juveniles appear non descript and brown, the gravel is brown, and they may be trying to blend in... this picture with some additional light... one of the medium sized Crenuchus spilurus is right in the center...
