I have names for my fish -

Manga (orange)
Shiro (white)
Kiiro (yellow)

All their names are a nod to their Japanese origins and because I got them during the Tokyo Olympics.

I can’t photograph them as the are too quick - so here are photos of fish just like them. They are each two inches long. 🙂

They're beautiful! Could you do a painting from those photos?
 
@Sophiedoodle, when does Ghillie leave you?
Ghillie is with us until we find someone who is willing to take him on (as he can be a challenge). He is doing brilliant and getting better very quickly now. I’m super proud of him, but he still needs his boundaries at times. We are thinking that he will have to be local-ish as we envisage he will need brought back to us for grooming.

Here he is just now, trying out his new JuliusK9 harness as he doesn’t like the fiddling around of buckles on normal harnesses, and this just has 1! He’s such a good boy🤩6A977583-5D6F-4264-8A9A-B84FE4E152BD.jpeg
 
He looks as if butter wouldn't melt in his mouth @Sophiedoodle. Do you know why he is a challenge, is it genetics?
We are sure it was his previous home. It’s his resource guarding and grooming that’s the issues. They have been relatively easily “fixed”, but his owners obviously weren’t willing to put in the extra work or pay for a behaviourist. They had an older dog in the house too, so we feel they ended up “protecting” him and leaving Ghillie out of things and not giving him the same love & attention as their other dog, so his tendencies got worse.
He is a brilliant dog, but will still need somebody who understands how to deal with him and we will need to work with Ghillie and his new family for a while before they actually get to take him away. It’s something that we have never had to deal with before, so it’s definitely been a learning curve for everyone.
It’s not genetics. His dad is Harris, the same dog Oreo was bred to! Harris is such a brilliant dog, so happy and friendly and is great with grooming. His mum is also SO cuddly and friendly, although a little shy around new people.
