Three Kevins!

This is getting beyond a joke. Kevin and Marina have now been joined by little Neptune, bringing the total complement of fish in the tank to 9. Our original calculations suggested it could hold a maximum of 12, so any more of this spawning business and we'll have to start thinking of ways to reduce the population. That's one problem we didn't expect to have!

They don't half grow quickly too. I reckon Kevin - who from "his" colouring is almost certainly female - is now almost the same size as the first fish we brought home back in November, and he and Marina have become braver over the last day or so and started feeding with the adults. I still find it quite strange to think that our little tank is the only home they've ever known.
