It hit me one day: I kind of favor small, grey-brown fishes. Why do I like these small , grey fishes? Why do I covet fishes that most people find rather uninteresting? I mean, lately, I'm really obsessed with Elachocharax pulcher, which is really kind of a brown and grey "cammo" colored fish. Hardly exciting. Yet, I am totally into that fish. Do I not get out enough? Am I too cool to jump on the bandwagon of sexy designer bettas and African cichlids? No- I love them. I do. Well, then why do I covet these seemingly "boring" fishes so much?
