As usual, I had a blast at the last CCA meeting. It was nice meeting the speaker and learning about anabantoids-- a group that I have pretty much over looked.
After the presentations, I was talking with Mark, I told him about my childhood experience with red paradise fish. When I was ten years old, I put the paradise fish in a five gallon tank with my swordtail. The paradise fish swam up to the swordtail, and pulled the eye out of his head. (I haven't kept them since.)
Mark said that the aggressiveness had been largely been bred out of the paradise fish and they weren't quite so mean any more.
So, if I can free up the space, maybe I'll give a childhood favorite another try.
The Tanganyikan talk was also interesting and informative, and I liked the barbecue that someone went through the time and trouble to make.
For the auction, I scored a big bag of Aulonocara baenschi for only $5. (I was a little disappointed for the seller that no one put their hand up, so I bid on them.) Now I'm looking forward to growing them out.
Thanks again, CCA!
