My Aquarium

Its been awhile since I posted anything on my fish tank.

A little history,  I have always enjoyed aquatic life.

Years ago I had a 5 gallon tank with guppies.

My real interest came in 2007 after going to the Monterey Aquarium.
I also went out on a whale watching boat which was thrilling.

From there it began with a small bowl, on up to a 25 gallon tank with a few different varieties that could be in a tank together.

KEYHOLE Cichlid

Cleithracara Maronii

My biggest fish...

Today I see that he is not feeling well.

He has been with me for about a year, this is a long life for tetras.

They could be swimming around having fun one day, and gone the next.

They are rather friendly and can be with a variety of mellow species.

I find Keyhole to be whimsical at times when he peaks around, with his big eyes.

He moves slowly, and stops so I can take photographs.

Keyhole is about 4" in length, but they can grow to 5".

Maybe he is getting too big for my tank.

My wish is for him to perk up, but if it is his time I will have to accept it.

This is one of his usual poses.
It appears he is smiling for the camera wondering why I am so close.

In the evenings I turn the black aquarium lights on.
If the lights are on all day it makes more algae on the glass.
No live plants in this tank so don't need lights on for them.
It is peaceful to see fish swimming around.
Usually he will go in the little glass bowl at night for short periods.
Never in the daytime like he did today.
