More new residents :D

Since one of the old 'fake' SAE died some time back, we decided to get another mate for the other fake SAE. (There is the fake siamensis that looks like the real SAE, but the black stripe does not go all the to the tail) However, we didn't get to see any fake ones, only real ones. So we ended buying a true SAE and 2 Chain Loaches!
Chain Loaches are suppose to feed on snails (which will help to keep the snail population in check) and can only grow to a maximum size of about 2.5 inches I think. I've been looking around for them for super super long! So obviously i'm quite happy about the purchase :p. Sadly one of the Chain Loach has ich. I think all the fish I bought from the same tank from the same fish shop will have ich (the Rummy nose with ich came from the same tank). So we'll have to monitor the loach to make sure it's ok. Lately the water temperature has been going up so it should be ok soon. Will upload pics of the Chain Loach the next time.

Had a funny conversation when I was acclimatising the new fish. 4 female handballers saw me putting the fish in and asked:
hballer: New fish ah?
me: Yup! This one supposedly eats snails (points to chain loach)
hballer: Orh, at least not nice to see also got use la..
me: Ah? Not nice meh? I thought quite cute.
hballer: Issit? I don't think so leh...ee! What's that? (points to the kuhli loach)
me: That's a loach also...not cute meh? I think quite cute leh
hballer: ee..like snake! I think quite 恶心!
me: har..then like that is Jacob 恶心 also? :p
Guess who the handballers was it? (a) Stella (b) Fu Qi (c) Low San (d)Ying Ting.
Haha..this made me realize that beauty really is in the eyes of the beholder, especially when it comes to fishes.
