I'm normally less of a fan of veiltails, but this guy was just so cute I couldn't pass him up. I kept thinking "No, maybe I should put him back..." and I'd lift his cup up to look at him and he was just staring at me with puppy dog eyes...and I love his coloring! You can't see it as well in the pictures but his fins are all black-tipped and he has a bit of blue at the base of his dorsal and claudal fins.
I'm working on getting my new 10-gallon cycing fishless but I can't help but look...so I wound up in Petsmart today "just browsing" and accidentally brought him home, lol
Since I wanna go ahead and finish with the fishless cycle I figured I needed to get him into a home large enough to heat with my spare heater but small enough to easily deal with on a temporary basis until the tank is ready...but since I have no decent-sized spare tanks, I had to improvise, so we came up with the idea of cutting a 5-gallon water jug and it actually worked out pretty well. The little guy seems to be adjusting well!
