They Will Survive!

I have had a run of bad luck with fish the past couple semesters. Ever since I had a whole tank full named after Lost characters, I haven't been able to keep them alive. The one I named Sayid started terrorizing all the others until one by one they all died, ironic. Now I have preped my tank according to expert standards... I bought all the supplies needed to keep the tank clean and safe... and researched types of fish that will live happily with each other. So far everyone seems happy and healthy. They even have personalities of their very own. So let me introduce: My fish.


Rafaella: The purple stripped catfish. She likes to stay in the 'cave' when the lights are on. She is afraid of being seen. I was lucky this afternoon and found her hiding in the leafy greens. A rare occasion I am sure.


Scarlett: The red-eye tetra. She is funny. Every time I would pull out the camera for her close ups she would swim away. It was very hard to get her to sit still. I guess you could say that she is camera shy.



Chance: The black-finned tetra. He is the man of the tank, even though he is the smallest. We named him Chance because he was the first to start swimming around the tank freely, like he was taking more of a chance than the others. He is definitely not camera shy. It seemed as though we were in a photo shoot and he kept giving me different poses.
