World's most handsomest boy.

She has a surprise....

The Brother and his nephew the Bean attempt to dismember the Imp.

The Young(ish) Prince comes over to break things up and send the bigger Silkens packing.

"Don't worry, your Majesty, I will protect you!"

(They wouldn't dare beat me up if I was wearing my Majesty Hat. This is embarrassing, saved by a Borzoi, even if he is a Prince. Maybe if I wore the Majesty Robes? That would be warmer...I could chewz off their feets and make them shorter... ) The Imp contemplates his choices going forward, how to deal with a traitor brother and insurgent nephew.

Contemplating the next adventure to lead his faithful uncles on.

And off they go to roll the Imp in the snow. Again. Good thing it is soft.

Originally, when setting up the 30 gallon tank, we got three tiny little threadlike Kuhli loaches. Two darker (above) and one lighter in colour. They are now big Chunkus Wyrms and thriving.

Just before the holiday we got a tiny, threadlike singleton Kuhli loach, rescued from being an "only loach" in a bare tank (no hidey spots.) He had buried himself in the group of Pygmy corys that were freaking out in the back of the tank as well. (Kuhli loaches need friends and hidey places.)

We brought them all home, Pygmy corys and tiny loach. I was concerned for the tiny thread who promptly disappeared into the vegetation in the tank. We did not see him for three weeks.

However, he has resurfaced!

And he is at least four times larger than when he was last seen diving into the foliage! How did he survive the Guppy Threat?

His protector, Wyatt, Bestest Betta in the Fishiverse.

Wyatt has been stuffing loach wafers under the Spiderwood, and chasing off the Guppies when they get obnoxious. And now that Tiniest Loach is starting to explore more of the tank, his bodyguard is never far from his side.
