At present, the water levels are wayyyyyy down and the shaded end is covered in a thick, briney algae...but I've never seen so many birds and critters in such a concentrated area. So many changes lately in our local habitats; I'll definitely be watching to see what's happening here...
This fish has changed into a golden algae eater and has almost doubled in size. A good tank cleaner, spends most of his time suckered on to the glass eating the algae. Apparently these can show aggression when older, but mine has been fine for over a year and a half now. Time will tell!
Two algae eaters we have, named Salt and Vinegar. No idea which is which as they always dress identically. Let's call this one salt.
U-M ecologist Bradley Cardinale and two research assistants -- Jessica Perry, left, and Brenna Boehman --measure light penetration in tanks containing various mixtures of freshwater algal species.
