The Chocolate Gourami are settling in very well. I have to say they are a very unusual fish. Most of the fish I have had in the past always appear to be driven almost exclusively by base instinct - food, that’s all they’re mainly interested in. With these Gourami, you can clearly see, as they wiggle their eyes to look at you, there is something more going on behind them they even press their noses to the glass to look out, and then prompt Lou turn their back on me if I try and put a camera in front of my face!
They explore the tank with intelligent purpose, but with such smooth grace it’s captivating! they appear to particularly like grazing amongst the moss, which perhaps doesn’t bode well for any newly hatched shrimplets.
Anyway, excuse the following photo-bomb, I’m hope it’s not too much of a browser-crasher, but it had to be done:
Oh, and I also had to stump up for some more shrimp. Some, hopefully hardier, CBS this time to replace the lost Taiwan Bees.
Edit: OK, presumably the photos are too big, I’ll have to try resizing tomorrow
