Well I've been a bit lax in keeping my new years resolution to try and take some fishy photos every day.  That said, here are some shots of the Coral Red Pencilfish I won in the Silent Auction last weekend.



These fish prefer very soft acidic water.  I put them in one of my Oto breeder set-ups and added some leaf litter to drop the pH just a bit.  The water has a very nice amber tea color to it now.





I neglected to ask Tony how old these fish are, so I'm not sure how long until I se some spawning activity.  They are not at all shy and get right in your face!



So much for all I've read about Pencilfish having tiny mouths.....   LOL

When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because those weirdos are your tribe.  (Sweatpants & Coffee)
