The time in the gym must be doing my shrimp good becuase 'The Amigos' are Huge. The biggest one is almost three times his original size and likes to wander troughout the tank looking for left over tidbits. A couple of them are as big as the Tetras. I think I'm gonna name the big one 'Pablo', making the whole group 'Pablo and the amigos'.
The tetras are still not improving. One of them is as lively as can be, but Mr. Love-The-Corner only leaves it to eat. His scales are still shiny and he does eat..but that can't be normal fish behavior.

Tetra acclimation
Looks like I might have a problem with the Tetras. One of the little guys is pretty active, but they don't stick together at all. Kate likes to wander around the tank, eying the site, but Lauren seems determined to stay in a little corner a couple inches away from the air filter staring forlornly at the wall. Some Internet research shows that the Tetras evidently like being in groups of at least five. I'm not certain my 1.5 gallon tank can support five tetras in addition to everyone else. If Lauren condition continues I'm left with either risking the little fishies' health or having to get some more Tetras and maybe having to get a fishbowl to put them in...which is pricey and leaves my aquarium without fish again. I'm hoping it's just a matter or getting used to the tank.
