Cool fish
Rachel and I just went to the fish store, and they had an African Knife Fish that was just the right size, so I bought him. So cool!!! I was watching him for a bit last night after the tank light went out, and he was cruising around in there. Ask Google what he looks like, and you'll see how the fin on the bottom is so neat. He moves around by creating a wave in his lower fin, and can immediately back up by reversing the direction of the wave. It looks exactly like watching a video and pressing "rewind."
We also saw a Flower Shrimp, and Rachel bought him. He's also very unusual; there are four appendages that are for filter feeding, and I guess they look a little like flowers. He sticks them out and waves them around a little, then scoops inward and cleans them off with his mouth.
