New Fish!

[Mikaila31]

I picked up 3 new fish this evening . Which I wasn't planning on doing, but oh well. I couldn't leave them there . Here they are 2 albino koi swords and a male Pseudomugil gertrudae.

The two young swords I got. I just love the male . Now I have a VERY varied gene pool with my koi swords with some from Cali. and some from Minn. . And now I have 9 in total.

The male Pseudomugil gertrudae. He is a little torn up and stressed, but appears healthy. Never thought I would find these locally. This was the only male they had left and I didn't see any females. But He was in a tank with 40+ fish mainly Pseudomugil signifer and Threadfin rainbows , so mabey I just didn't see the others. Also I saw for the first time Celestial Pearl Danios for sale , but I turned them down .

Also Have to put up a pic of my other female sword <-she made me 8) .

OK. Now I have some very different looking fish. They have been given some blood worms and an hour to settle in.

Its a Party!

Randomness- he wanted some attention

I think am going to have to see if I can get some more of the Pseudomugil gertrudae. Once I figure out where they are going to go .

Stunning swordtails you have there.

I like the little rainbowfish, I've seen these in a few shops, very pretty little fish. You'll have to try and get him some buddies.

If im not mistaken that last pic appears to look like a 3-stripe gourami....I bought one that was labeled as a croaking gourami for 1.99.

It is a Sparkling gourami (T. pumlia) very similar to a croaking gourami.

Yeah the red sword has always been one of my favorite fish. If she is anything like the other one I had, her dorsal fin should eventually turn into a sailfin and reach all the way to her tale. Then she really looks classy B), but a little weighted down by all the finage. She is the one that am planning to cross with the swords, what do you think? I know they will stay albino, but other than that I'm not sure what will happen.

I am planning on moving the red one to the planted tank soon. But I still haven't decided how to house them long term. I still have a divider in the tank, cuz the red and my one adult koi female are still really aggressive towards each other.
