I headed back to Wet Pets in Dahlonega GA to talk to the owner about filtration and to visit the fish again. My son tagged along and likes the fish sucking at his fingers in the tank.
After a few educational lessons from the owner I was able to spend some time looking into the ponds and noticed a couple of fish with unusual markings on half of their faces. I liked this one the best so he had to come home with me. His red is very red, especially when compared to the orange tones of my other fish. the black is not fully developed but Chuck tells me that is desired at this age. Also his white sections should thicken toward the back and the red expand just a little. My son has named this little Showa – Kimono because he saw a showa on a kimono in Epcot-Japan.

Here are some of my other fish at dinner time hanging out below the falls.
