The disabled albino catfish.

So, now you've met the snails, its time to meet the two remaining fish. They are both albino catfish (when i say catfish i mean very small catfish, nothing like the ones you see in ponds). They are tropical fish and they spend their days either floating along the bottom of the tank looking for food or just sitting on the bottom of the tank staring into space. One is big and fat and the other is quite small. Unfortunately the small one has developed the fish disease finrot. This has resulted in his fins seemingly just disappearing (i guess the disease has slowly rotted them away). For any other fish (like most of my guppies) this would have meant almost certain death. But not for this fish. He is determined to swim (even if, most of the time its just round in circles). And surprisingly he has survived for months like this, effectively disabled. Even the evil snails haven't been able to bump him off (though i have noticed them trying on a number of occasions).
So thats the story of the disabled albino catfish. More stories from the fish tank.............when something else eventually happens.
