Origami Gourami
Fish Fanatic
I spent ages last night trying to locate the two little fellas, no a sight anywhere. Not behind plants, up on the floating leaves, hiding in the shadows, doing a few lengths in the current; nowhere to be seen.
If anybody has a Fluval 200-400 they'll be familiar with the suction cup bracket that fits to the glass. Well, I spied what looked suspiciously like a tiny webbed hand peeking out. I moved the lid of the tank back and shone a small torch light down the top of the bracket - to find two little faces and assorted wriggly limbs snuggled in the hollow of the bracket!
Since then I have seen them standing up with their noses out of the water taking in the morning air from this new cubby hole! They also like to have a few worms plopped over their den, as they can tuck in without any pesky bettas or red tail piggies stealing it all!
I wish they'd frequent somewhere a little more prominent and aesthetically pleasing, but there we go!
Thankfully they still come out occassionally for an explore and a swim.
I just have to be ultra careful about moving the filter from now on. They don't go out of their way to make life easy...!
