fish you were here!

how are these things so fucking cute

I might add a couple blue shrimp (or more reds?) and see if I can get more in this colour. I have no idea if this is "true" chocolate colour, though, or which line they count as. My colony is made up of bloody marys and "cull" wild-types, but I've had a couple deep blues pop up. Either way, watching their genes come and go is a treat!

50 of them at least

I am going to regret encouraging this but for now he’s adorable. I think we will try target training this summer!

May your patterns be distinct enough that you avoid the cull tank.
