New Temensis

[tuggerd]

I just moved the Temensis home and put the smaller with the Ocell's. He doesn't eat half as much as the Ocell's but he seems much happier. Notice how the bottom Ocellaris is almost black. This is the dominant fish. He pushes everyone else around in the tank.

They're growing on liver and chicken hearts. The Temensis is so picky. He's the first to strike if I put minnows in there, but he's not a very big eater. I put the other, larger Tem in the pond and he's holding his own. He's not so picky.

I currently have one Tem and two Ocell's in the pond. The pictures aren't very good though because there colors are pretty toned down because of the dominant Guapote. Here are a couple. I have a couple nice additions to my indoor tank. The last photos are when I turned the lights on suddenly and caught them with there sleeping colors.

Here's a photo of when I turned the lights on after they were resting at the bottom for the night.
