Xylon

Xylon is my South American leaf fish, Monocirrhus polyacanthus (http://theaquariumwiki.com/Monocirrhus_polyacanthus), and his name comes from the Greek for wood.

Here's some pictures of him, I have some better quality pictures I'll add later.

An unfortunate loss

Quite unfortunately, my sisters female Betta, Stinky, died this morning.
We had had her since August 2007, and she died today, December 12, 2008. I am not entirely sure of her age, but I have the feeling when we bought her she was already around a year old, so she lived quite a life. She will be missed.






This picture I took a few days before her death
You can only see the back half of her.
