Current mate: "Howard" #182
Bio: Loose ankle causes her to have a little bit of a shuffle as she walks around Penguin Island. Over the past couple of years, Algae has "spent time" with "Pippin" #155, "Captain" #63, and "Howard" #182.. For what it's worth, she does stay with "Howard" throughout the breeding season months.
This and a couple other fish of this type were brought to the lake and pond to clean up the algae that had formed across them both. They were very hungry and it was cleaned up quickly.

A rare and unusual specimen of algae preserved in clear chalcedony. Originally it would have been growing in silica-rich run-off from geothermal hot springs. Kaueranga Valley, Thames
