| Allow me to introduce.... Our newest addition to the fishy family.....
We are temporarily calling this guy "Spaz" for self-explanatory reasons, until we think of a permanent name!
He just joined the fish in our 30g "zen garden" tank and is happily exploring his new tankmates and posing for the camera... |

| Lucy, I really do love these fish...we only got our 1st one, Steve, a week ago but he has been so charming and sweet that we brought this guy home tonight! Their personalities remind me of my bettas, in the way that they come over to say hi and stay close to me while I am next to the tank...its really too much!
I have room for one more in my other 30g but sshhhh, don't tell anyone  |

| Thanks guys....we have finally named him Chaim!
If you can believe it, his coloring looks more brilliant this morning. He is so darn cute, so happy to see me this morning....posing for the camera like a ham, and as you can see from one of the pics, he thinks he is rather handsome as well!
It was exactly what I needed after losing Fishi-Tres.... |

| That's great! I love the name, Chaim. It so unusual. Where did you get it from? |

| Believe it or not, we were talking about our 2 cory cats named "Gene and Shannon" after Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed, because we enjoy their show "Family Jewels". Anyway, Gene Simmons' real name is Chaim and we thought it was cute!
We also have 10 ghost shrimp who are all named Chef Ramsey after ****'s Kitchen, and all 6 of our rummy nosed tetras are named Bill Clinton.  |

| Is this coloration normal? I was feeding Chaim today and his coloration seemed *really* new to me. I've had the tank lights off for a few days because of the intense heat, and I turned them on to take pictures and Chaim is covered in blue!
It really freaked me out at first, but then I looked at older pics of him and I guess that the area of him that used to be whitish is now blue...
I can't get over how quickly and intensely these fish change color!!!
Please check out these pics from today and let me know if you think the change is normal. The last one shows how greyish-blue the area around his head/chest has gotten.  |
