麗、麗麗與 Yoyo

 昨天老公大人把中缸和大缸中的魚魚來了個大遷徙。中缸有條 金色的 gourami 成了大霸王，把其他不同顏色的 gourami 都追得半死。不單只是同類的魚，大霸王更把缸內的 platy 和 dwarf rainbow 都追到瘋了。見狀，我走過去指著大霸王訓導...牠不像 Yoyo，一點都不怕我！我拍缸牠當無事發生！！激死我！至於大缸，情況也不樂觀...   缸中那條 3-spotted gourami 追魚追得更離譜！無禮貌、又無規矩！我可以感覺到牠其實很怕我，但怕都無用！唔聽話就係唔聽話～！最可惡就是牠霸道到連缸中那兩條出名惡死的麗魚 '喵～' (Mel. Auratus 非洲鳳凰) 都怕了牠！！

既然兩個缸分別都有惡霸，不如就把牠們放在一起，一於惡霸鬥惡霸吧！嘻～ 中缸的大霸王過到大缸後立即變成鵪鶉！哈！大缸那條 gourami 因為身型最大，所以現在變得更可惡。 ...容忍有個限度，睇我幾時忍無可忍就會掟條嘢去細缸同 Yoyo 玩！！現在中缸就 keep 住那些溫文可愛、又聽教聽話的魚魚。 =)   圖：水草生長得很茂盛，變成了一個小森林。這只是魚缸的半邊。

Yoyo 追魚， fin nipping 情況嚴重。我其中一條 puffer 被牠玩到病重，現在還沒有好轉... 身體好像 '發髦' 一樣黑掹掹！... 所以我們索性把兩條 puffer 一同與 Yoyo 隔離，保住小命要緊。這是其中一條健康的，怕怕羞羞...不敢正面望我，但又想知道我喺道做咩！

  冇魚追，悶到震！！Yoyo 獨自停在 breeding net 上發呆。PS，那個圓形的黑印不是什麼不可告人的秘密，而是 breeding net 的 sucker hook。

 與其說牠 '停' 在 breeding net 上，倒不如話佢 'sip 灶 la' 比較合襯！睇下佢，篤極嘟唔走！嘻～！

 正面！哇哈哈哈～～  =D

這張照看到的是反光的魚缸玻璃。呢條魚唔蠢嘅！佢知我冇喺佢正面影相，但個相機嘅紅光又照到佢...於是眼珠一碌，喺塊反光玻璃嗰道睇住我。 咁醒目嘅魚我點捨得唔要佢？！為咗佢，我可以放棄整個森林。

又：無聊上網看...才知道某種魚的中文翻譯叫'麗魚'，也有一種在翻譯後叫'麗麗魚'！一字之差，樣子相差百倍～  =)   

苔斑魮 (Green Tiger Barb) - 被罰中!!

苔斑魮 - 這種魚屬於鯉科，主要棲息在小溪流、河川等流動的水域。牠們體延長而呈卵圓形，側扁。有些體側呈淺褐色，腹部銀白。常見的有四帶無鬚魮 (Tiger Barb)，此外還有具黑色斑紋的苔斑魮 (Green Tiger Barb) 及白化種的虎皮魚 (Albino Barb)。這家伙本來好好的與大眾一起生活，但某天卻殺了我一條懷孕中的剛果旗 (Congo Tetra)！！今天牠又剛好被我看到在追殺另一條剛果旗！倒楣的牠被我困在這小籠中面壁思過，與世隔絕。

這樣的眼神，彷彿知道為什麼自己要被罰...

 多得牠的惡行，我才有機會拍到牠清晰的近照！

 牠被隔離到魚缸邊， 默默地在等待著...

這種孤單，無奈的感覺我能理解。（哈！）

*** 困了牠一整天，再看到牠沮喪的樣子我也於心不忍...

 決定把牠放生...

 這些便是被牠殺個正著的剛果旗。

 希望牠往後能改過自身，與其他朋友好好相處！

一線飛狐 (flying fox)，無聊中...

 唉～ 以為隔離了條苔斑魮可以保護這條剛果旗，怎知牠仍然被其他魚欺負！！牠的肛門部位被咬傷了...  之前那條也因此傷而死掉...

 被逼要把牠隔離...  慘...

我心不忍，卻甚麼都不能做...

Livebearer Tank

As you may know, I have a 20 gallon livebearer tank at home.  My tank mostly consist of platies, guppies and balloon mollies (most of them died...).  I've started with several males and pregnant females, in less than half a year, those females have given birth to over a hundred fries!  I keep some of the larger fries in this 20 gallon tank (140+ fish) while the smaller one I keep them in a 10 gallon tank. 

 My 20 gallon tank.  Doesn't look like it has over 100 fish huh?!  I don't know why, but seems that all my plants are not growing well in the tank...

Chow time!!

 Seems that all these fish focus themselves at one particular spot!!

 More fish gather together!

 Guess what they are doing here in front of me!!  =)  These fish are trying to eat the food that's stuck between the pebbles.

 A platy fry hide inside the 'bush'...I seldom see this happens.

 This might be a home breed male guppy.  Looks as if it has wear a long skirt!

This female guppy is staying low at the bottom.  She will be giving birth at any time.

 Seeing anything here??!  Look closer and you will see a guppy fry right above a blue pebble.

 I have a lot of wagtail platies in the tank but only 2 batman platies and this is one of them!  See it's tail, does it looks like a batman logo to you?

 These two blue mickey mouse platies are a pair - bother & sister...  The one on the left is courting the one in front of him.

 Seeing through my decor and I see my little wagtail platy. =)

 I bought this male platy recently from Big Al's and I like him very much.  Not sure what type of platy it is but surely it has something to do with Mickey Mouse.

Here is a much clear shot of my favorite fish in the tank.  He swims so fast and it's really hard to take picture of him.

 Two males (wagtail & blue mickey) courting the female (blue mickey) in the middle... Mmm...I wonder what their fries will look like!

 One of the home breed female guppy which was crooked when she was born.

My favorite balloon molly.  I bought close to a dozen of these to start with but they all died...  She is the only female left in the tank...

Changing water from time to time, my husband will keep them in a container for an hour or so.

Whatever you see here that's huge (like those wagtails, matured F/M guppies) were bought from local fish stores.  Anything other than that will be home breed.

She is one of the female balloon molly I like very much but unfortunately she couldn't make it...

McDonald's Aquarium

I like going to this McDonald located at Yonge Street / 16th Ave. because they have a very big aquarium!!  There are quite a lot of tropical fish in the tank but I can only recognize several of them.  Its good that you sit in front of the aquarium enjoying your meal while looking at the fish.  Some fish are very responsive: you  raise a french fries or a cup of coke at them and they will come to you, so cute~~~

My all time favorite Micky D.

 I think this is some sort of African Cichlid, but don't know the exact name...

 Another kind of African Cichlid.

 This is a Tri-color shark, a jumbo one.  This fish looks more like a 土鯪魚 to me.

 This is a giant gouramis, over two palm's size!!

 Another shot of the gouramis.

 Here is a giant pleco.  They have over 4 plecos in the tank!!

Oscar, it looks a bit like a 羅漢 but it's not I guess.  There is a pair in the tank, over the size of a palm.

 Here is a Cichlid.  Taking pictures of these fish in McDonald are a lot easier than taking pictures of my fish at home.

 ET gouramis.

 Another shot of a giant pleco.

 I have totally no clue of what this is....another 鯪魚?!

 A yellow African Cichlid (yellow lab).

 One nice color African Cichlid.

 Another shot of the '鯪魚'.

 Two Cichlids swimming together.

 It's easy to take pictures of these fish here, so I kept taking pictures of them.  =)

 Another yellow African Cichlid.

 These two fish usually stay in pairs.

 Another shot of a giant pleco.  You can see it's coarse skin...

 A side shot of this '鯪魚'.
