almost there to meet the new little one....












Meet Baby Mickey! 
A new fish was discovered in our tank - see the TINY little yellow fish above the silver, blue and red striped one?  That little guy was apparently hiding under the big rock for quite some time and unveiled himself a couple weeks ago.  He is a baby Mickey Mouse fish, the product of the other 2 Mickey Mouse fish we have in the tank.  The Mickey Mouse fish are characterized by the two large black circles resembling Mickey's ears on their tail fins.  I was convinced this was a baby neon which we have 2 of, but Jeff pointed out the miniscule black dots on his tail.  I didn't know our fish could have babies!  We now have 3 Mickey Mouse fish, 2 neon tetras, and 3 tetras.  We had 5 ghost shrimp but none of them survived.  Next try will be some snails...
