Little Itch

Meet little Itch, or Mr Itchy, our purple/orange rasbora, whose growth has been a tad thwarted by an illness, called itch, which hence has become its name.

Little Itch is so much smaller than his tank mates that they kind-of isolate him. So we usually see him by himself, in the corner of a tank, looking quite forlorn.

Then came the shrimps. We bought 5 of 'em. Funny weird scratchy little things, wheezing up and down the tank, looking more like spiders than shrimps.

So our little itch has befriended Scratchy, the shrimp, and it is all too often that we see them hanging out in the same corner of the tank, by the rock.

See, even in a tank, friendship knows no boundaries.
