witchy fish

It is so gratifying to see the female swordtail swimming around the tank normally after that initial week of worry I had, thinking she was sick.

The bold orange and black makes my kids think halloween, and her dark trailing fins are like straggly hair so we gave her a new name: Witchy.

The male Fabio with his gorgeous long fins,

is constantly following her.

If you could call a fish such a thing, he's a stalker.

She puts up with it pretty well.
