funny how some fish are in your face, while others you almost never see...

looking at my Hillstream tank this morning... every morning I see the littlest panda loaches, and everyone knows how interactive panda garras are... yet one of the biggest fish, in this tank, an unknown lizard Hillstream, that has grown to become one of the biggest fish in the tank, at over 6 inches, I see, maybe about once a week, you would think that since it's grown to one of the biggest fish in the tank, I would see it at feeding time, and I do see it eat once in a while, and it's an aggressive feeder, when it does eat, food I add, but being a true bio film eater, it appears to get what it needs, fending for itself, rather than from my hand...

it's no wonder new fish are still being discovered... some of them don't need us, so there is no reason to interact with us humans, and they just don't get caught...

so this is obviously a hard fish to get pictures of... this is an old picture, and the fish has colored up more, and put an xtra inch or two in length on it ( lower fish in this picture )

well, good morning Mr. Big... for just a few minutes he was visible this morning, among the lucky bamboo stalks in the bubble water fall, on the back of the tank... this is where I most often see it, switching from one bamboo clump to the next... Center of this picture
