Hello, All!

I'm the owner of a new aquarium.  It's my first one-very small, just a
two-gallon acrylic.  I've got a lemon tetra (Colonel Mustard) and a
bloodfin tetra (Scarlet) in there.  Things are going well-they've survived
the past week in good shape.  Tomorrow, I'm replacing 10% of their water
with fresh treated water (just two cups' worth).  Besides the usual bubbles
on the water from the airstone, it's clean in there.

What I'm wondering is if the lemon tetra prefers to bottom-feed.  Scarlet
is on the spot when it's feeding time-she's up there tearing a bigger flake
into a small one (I do crush the flakes), but the ol' Colonel just sits
there.  I don't actually see him eat.  Are lemon tetras more prone to
eating from the bottom of the tank?

If you'd like to see the fish, point your web browser to:

The fish are in the last three pictures.  The cat is our cat, Tigger, and
the dog is my wife's (Maura) dog, Kali, who lives with Maura's mother.  The
third picture is of a crawdad who somehow wandered up to our porch when we
lived in Southern Illinois a few years ago.

Later,
Sean
