About a week ago, I took my Red Velvet Swords out of quarentine and into their permanent home.

They were both very skittish and spent most of their time hiding while I was in the fishroom.

Two mornings later, giving the fish their breakfast, the female sword was MIA. I couldn't find her in the tank anywhere. I stepped back and began scratching my head in puzzlement when I noticed her, in the tank next to her tank.
I guessed that something must have spooked her in the night and she jumped. She seemed happy so I left her there.

Two mornings later, she's back in her original tank ! :err:
What, did she get lonely !
Needless to say, I decided to finish the lid on the tanks that evening.

That's priceless. Either you're hallucinating or she likes to travel.:laugh: Maybe she's hinting you build a water bridge bewtween the tanks (like the one in the DIY section.;) )

ROFL Yup, one too many late nights building that fishroom Blaine!

Seriously though, Swords are great jumpers. Dibs on some of those Red Velvet babies! They'd look very nice brought into my Red Albino Hifin line. I could trade you for some regular fin Red Albino Swordtails and....

Sheeeesh, your order is still in transit and she's planning a trade...lol...love this hobby.

Thats awesome!
I woke yesterday to find a crispy cherry shrimp lying neatly on my table like I had placed him there. I wouldn't care except he was probably the reddest male I had... I've never seen them jump before...
