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
