Yesterday arrived a species of fish in our fishhouse that makes us rub our eyes constantly. But it is no illusion: the fish – they are currently between
4 and 8 cm long – really all have that bilious green basic coloration! The animals are wild collected ones from Peru, so we can exclude the possibility that a tricky exporter may have coloured the fish artificially. Better photos will follow next week, when the fish have settled down a bit.
