New addition :-)

[phin9009]

Everyone, meet the newest addition to my 46 gallon bowfront community, Fiona, the albino longfin bnp :-) she seems to be doing alright so far. Exploring the glass a bit now with the lights off. Went after some of the flake food that landed near her, so I dropped in a sinking algae wafer, which she latched on to. The platies and cherries seem very curious about her but aren't bugging her so far

She is a tiny one isn't she. Good luck with her.

Between 2 and 2 1/2 inches right now. Thanks!

Cute looking fish. The more BNPs I see on here the more I fancy one for my own tank.

[phin9009]

:-) they are definitely interesting. I was trying to find something to put in the tank since I had some extra stocking space leftover, and when I saw her I knew she was perfect :-)

Skinny looking fish though, be sure to feed her well. Also get some fresh veg in, algae wafers tend to be a bit heavy on the protein for growing bristlenose.

I have zucchini slices in the freezer as well as cucumbers...I have them for my snail tank so she'll get those too :-) thanks for the advice!

Not much nutition in cucumber but zucchini should go down well.

What else do you suggest? My mom has an acorn squash that i am considering stealing a couple pieces from...would that be good?

I've always found fresh spinach to be really good fish fodder.
