The Whiptail Catfish, and some...

A new fish was introduced to the RH Fish Tank just today, the Whiptail Catfish (Sturisoma Festivum):

The Whiptail Catfish is a slender fish which is reputed to be quite an efficient algae-eater, and quite a good-looker too! Elegant and uncommon, its unique shape and algae-eating ability will provide for great viewing and appreciation.

9 Kuhli Loaches, 4 Hillstream Loaches and 4 Otocinclus
These were added to the Kuhlis (total now 18), Hillstreams (total now 7) and Otos (total now 5)already present in the RH Fish Tank. The reason? Some of them had over the months passed away (or disappeared without a trace) and i needed to get them in order to restore the equilibria for algae-eating (Hillstream Loaches and Otos) and leftover food scavenging due to an increased number of nooks and crannies in the new set up (Kuhli Loaches).
