New cowfish

During the move, we discovered that one of the cowfishes (our name for our Panda Cories, which look and act like cows) had crossed over the fish tube without our noticing and died in the new tank.

Worried that our last remaining cowfish would get lonely, we went up to Ocean Aquarium in SF last Sunday to get him some friends - two more panda cories.

They seem to be getting along well. Despite the old cowfish being significantly larger than the new ones, they are herding together. They appear more active at night, when the aquarium lights are off. During they day, they mostly swim slowly around the plant growth, but at night we've seen them going up and down the sides of the glass. They're very cute together!
