Yeah, The man in the shop said a customer had brought her in, they had kept her from being very small in a 120l tank! amazing, she seems to be happy swimming around my 7x2x2, bet she thinks she's in heaven! lol, she really is a pretty fish though, started eating today, when the lights are out she goes very dark blue and the pink in the fins is more prominent too. pleased to give her a good home and not one bit of trouble with my other fish...

thanks again Nelly.

p.s. are you a singer? hehe

oxoxoxo
