Fry Description:
(Post Settlement) |
Cute little fish, see picture 12/07/2011.
Spread out around the RBT with only the occasional venture into the centre.
They seem to have marked out areas, though don't seem to mind visitors.
If I shine a torch into the RBT and keep it still, it attracts brine shrimp, the fish then take runs through the brine at high speed. |
