I thought that might be what that was; got two males and four females. ;)
Got Chinese algae-eaters. Which are now Chinese algae-eater. :/ I suspect that they got injured in the attempts to catch them; they were awfully elusive. Poor fishies. I wonder where the one is; it's moved from where it was lurking this morning.
(There are so many pots and things in that tank that it's a shy fish paradise. Current record for knowing where barbs are is three at a time. When I released them into the tank they were going around in pairs, as if to make sure that their backs were being watched; now the only times I see them in pairs are when one of the males is chasing one of the females; I'm wondering if that means they'll breed.)
If we go back to the store, I'll see about picking up some bloodworms if the barbs like them so much. :)
