Hi everyone, I am trying to insert pictures for the first time, so I'm not sure it will work.
This picture is of my Theseus.

Personality profile of Theseus:

LIKES: Mosquitos and lots of them!
DISLIKES: Tiny meals.
HE IS HAPPIEST WHEN: He is given something to look at. He loves to look around and watch all that goes on around him. He loves to look out the window at the outside world.
HE IS CRANKY WHEN: Humans get too close to him or his water. He is not a touchy feely fish. He would rather observe from a safe distance.
HOW LONG HE HAS BEEN LIVING IN FISH TROY: Over 6 months.
GREATEST TALENT: He is a great hunter. He can strike at and swallow a large mosquito in one quick movement!

How do you get him mosquito larvae? Do you just set standing water outside and wait? pretty fish, btw.

Pretty boy

How do I get him mosquitos? I am sad to admit, I stand in the backyard and use myself as live bait. I swat them and he eats them. He is a very good way to keep the mosquito population down! lol

haha better be careful when you use yourself as bait.

You're lucky to have such a beautiful and talented boy

Hello FishTroy. He sure is a beauty! That face! Maybe you should enter that photo into the Fish of the Month contest for November. What type of home does he have?

Thanks! I think he's adorable.
How do you enter the photo in the comp? Is there a link you can send me to?
He has a good sized home, very clear glass, lots of swimming space and natural pebbles which he, at present, in delighting in flicking and throwing, making VERY loud clinks.

I love the fighters that have speckled noses, I think it makes their faces look adorable. Thanks for the compliment again, I will be sure to pass it on to Theseus!

After he does, November's contest will be open for entries.

Ok, found the contest links, just have to get the photos onto the computer I'm currently using.

Yes, Theseus does not realise how many mosquito bites I have received getting his snack. I got him a smaller one the other day, he ate it in one 'glump' and gave me a look as if to say "Is that it? Go on, get back out there I want another one!"
