They’re all swimming around all happy-like, in an anthropomorphic kind of way. The only thing up the top of the tank are some plant bits. I must find out their names – it’s annoying, not knowing. The lilypad-like one keeps coming adrift.

We’re going back to Coburg tomorrow. We’re going to buy an external filter, which we really should have got at the start, and another cloach – apparently being in groups of 3+ makes them happy. We’ll also get a gravel vacuum because these fish poo a lot.

The tetras have calmed down – they’re not fighting among themselves any more. Someone suggested that they were attempting to set up a hierarchy, and I guess that makes sense. The torn fins and tails appear to be healing – they’re certainly no worse, and aren’t nearly so obvious (which I figure must = healing).

Fish eyes are really cool; they are set on the sides of their heads, but they can move relative to the head. I guess that’s how they manage to look around, since I’ve not seen the pupil or any bit in the eye move. Makes sense, I suppose.
