We have two new additions to the Nano Tank. A new partner Clownfish for Boomerang, and a Firefish. We have named the new Clownfish Comet and the Firefish is called Darty, or 180 as Stu likes to call him!
Comet is exactly the same as Boomerang was when we first got him from the shop (I think he was from the same batch as he was the last one left). He's a mad one and they had trouble catching him! He's great in the tank and zooms about happily. Boomerang is a much darker orange and a wee bit bigger and is definitely the boss. He does these clicks when Comet gets too near to show he is more dominant. Its worked and we've not had any fights, although in the first week I did see Comet doing clicks back at Boomerang...
Darty (or 180) is a Fire Goby, or Magnificant Dartfish. He is long and slim and has a beautiful tail like a fire. They are meant to have a long yellow dorsal fin which they stick up to look big and dominant, but Darty only has a short one at the moment. The fish shop promised us that it will grow back soon. He has made home in a cave in the rocks and darts in and out. Dartfish have a habit of leaping out of open tanks, luckily ours has a lid! He gets on well with the Clowns and we seem to have a happy family now.
Here's a wee piccy from my mobile of our happy family. Darty at the top, Boomerang left and Comet on the right.
