Freshwater Friday 10/31/2025

Normally, I don’t break the fourth wall on social media posts, but you have to see these fish in person.

I was shocked when I came across the tank with Curimata vittata “Tiger Curimatas” in our fishroom. At first, when I was looking at these fish, I thought their body shape was really intriguing, but then, when they grouped up and turned to the side, I fell in love. I’ve seen a lot of “cool shiny fish” in our fishroom while taking pictures, but at the right angle, their shine just looks like satin sheets or a fishing lure. However, I know this fish isn’t rare in our hobby, so others may not feel the same Enthusiasm; it was still super exciting for me to see.

Call me crazy, but it’s the little fish that have these tiny quirks that renew my love for aquatics. Anyway, the newest list of arrivals is listed below
