Hi all.
I went to my fish shop yesterday and, among other things, i bought a pleco. When i got home there was another tiny fish in the Pleco's bag - it must have got in the net when the man put plec in the bag. I dont know what it is. I cant find it in any of my books or online. It is small (smaller than my neons) and almost see through. It has bright blue around its eyes (pretty sure its not a headlight) also its tail is square - not forked like tetras. Is very cute but what is it? Anybody know? Thanks |
