There has been a bad spell of mortality in our fish tank of late. The last 6 months has heralded the end of Dwarf Frogs, Gouramis, Eels, and Danios. Two robust Cories (catfish) and our Plecostomus are all that remain.
There was a little miracle a few weeks ago though, where after a school of Long-Finned Danios all perished suddenly, Melissa noticed a small speck fluttering in the water. Upon closer review, this speck of detritus turned out in fact be a minnow. With nothing but bottom feeders left in the tank, this little minnow has managed to go uneaten.
Now roughly the length of a pencil eraser, this little Danio symbolizes life after death, and a new hope for the St. Clair family fish tank.
It's Darwin's survival of the fittest! :)
