I Have New Babies!

[PlecMama]

I got an email at work with a worrying note and two photo attachments, message read:

"I had my hair cut, I my very pleased with it, I hope you aren't cross but I bought you something. Happy Mothers day!"

Attached were photo's of two brand new baby Striped Raphaels in a little bag!

Dan had said he was trying to get me a special Mothers Day present from Dylan but he couldn't find it anywhere...he'd had them on order and they didn't come in until today

Cool! now we have to sit quietly and listen and see if we can hear them singing....

Ah they are lovely fish pity they are even more elusive than those Banjo's - if such a thing is possible
I recall seeing mine in the bag when I bought it - and then about three years later when I decided it's time to see if it's still there and rehome it. It grew really nicely but I never ever ever saw it. Not even the faintest glimpse. So good luck !
Their squeals are too cute though

mine 2 are quite active... especially when food is present... if they'll tka food when lights are on than they won't be shy as long as you feed them at lights on... I think

I'm with Bloo, i have 2 spotted raphaels somewhere in the fishroom but i'm not even sure which tank they are in they are so elusive. The last time i saw one was when i was transfering a piece of wood from one tank to another and it dropped out onto the floor and started squeeking at me

I had a big mouthful of coffee when I read that and had to stop myself from splurting it all over the computer.

how are they doing?

Well, they seem to be doing well, they come out and about so far, but Katherine chased one out of her cave so it's kinda mindful that it doesn't get to close to her

We named them Raffles and Humbug
