As for other stuff--- One of my recent hobbies is tropical fish. For
the last three years I've had a very pretty betta kinda like the one:
![betta[1].jpg](http://files.colonies.com/UserData/720956/BlogPhotos/betta%5B1%5D.jpg)
(this isn't my actual betta, just a pic of one off the internet that
looks similar to him. Mine acutally changes color in the light -- when
he's fiesty, he turns a puplish color on the body and end of his fins
get reddish, when passively swimming and most of the time, he's blue.
When he's napping he turns mostly green. At age 3½ my betta is still
going strong. About a month ago I went to WalMart and picked up a 10
gallon aquarium set up and have just had him in it. I've been meaning
to add "friends" and did that today. Today, I got three corydoras, each
look like these pics:
So far, the most active little one is my albino cory.
The next favorite:
It's
not the prettiest but he's also active and swimming around. The albino
and patch corys are about 1.5 cm in length from head to tail(that's
just a touch over half an inch). If they ever "outgrow" my tank
I'll take them when they're all nice and big to the local fish store
and with store credit, exchange them and get smaller ones again 2-3
years down the road.
The third fish I got is a spotted cory. He looks like:
So
far, he's the most boring inactive fish. All three came from a
different tank at the store, so who knows if he was already ill. He may
just be scared though too. He's bigger than the other two at 4.7 cm
(nearly 2 inches) from tip to tail.
My betta is the biggest with his body alone(not including his long
flowing fins) measuring in at approx. 6.2 cm(about 2.5 inches).
Fish UPDATE: Okay, I disovered something interesting since
getting my new cory today. The spotted one in the pic like above is
pregnant with a fat belly. After doing some online research, I now
understand why the fish have been acting a bit unusual. An interesting
tidbit on how corys mate that I found on the net:
During breeding, the males will exhibit a mating dance, touching the
female's dorsal. If the female is receptive, the male will vibrate the
body to initate spawning.... The female then sucks the sperm out into
her mouth from the male's genital pore. At this point the female ejects
a batch of eggs which is uniquely held between her veentral fins. And
after finding a suitable site, she then spits out the sperm onto the
site and attaches the eggs, at which time fertilisation occurs.
After my vacation in the next week or so I plan to add a couple of more
fish.. probably 6-8 neons, or maybe 3-4 platties which are kinds of
fish that will get along with my betta. Someday I'll even get pics of
my actual tank and fish; my OLD digital camera isn't working, my web
cam isn't working, so it may be awhile. The scanner works but I can't
exactly lay the fishtank on that ;)
WHAT THE?!?
So while doing an internet search to check the correct spelling of a medication, I see this google ad to the side:
