We've recently welcomed a new addition to the tank family at 101 W. Perry St. While picking up a new filter at PetSmart, we couldn't resist a new fish purchase...especially because of the sale signs ;) We chose a little catfish from one of the many tanks. The PetSmart employee scooped him out of the tank and went to transfer him to a bag when—oh no!—the little guy was upside-down at the bottom of the cup!
He had gone belly-up before we even got him home...or so we thought. Turns out this species has a very distinct defense mechanism—they knock themselves out! ha ha. The little catfish was fine, but they gave us another one just in case. When Matt attempted to put our new fish, who by that time had adopted the name "Olav Meowski," into the tank, the little bugger knocked himself out in Matt's hand:
Olav finally came-to and started exploring the tank & avoiding the claws of Buster. A tank-check a few minutes later revealed he had once again fashioned himself unconscious:
In other tank news, Buster has developed into quite the interior decorator. His latest renovation included rearranging the tank plants...especially interesting is the one he placed inside the cup:
