Are you ready for a New Year and a new Monthly Color Challenge?!
Our challenge this month
is inspired by tropical fish. Such beauty lays under the water, it's hard not
to be inspired.

This month our color is
green and we look to the Green Tiger Barb for our inspiration.
From AZGardens:
It’s hard to overlook the Green Tiger Barb in a tank, thanks to its fluorescent green body, silver and gold blotches and neat orange fins. These fish should be put in schools of at least six, and they’re known for being quite active. That said, you should note they like well-planted aquariums that have either soft or slightly acidic water.
In regards to breeding, we
recommend putting them together in the same aquarium, as they will pair off
instinctively. The females will lay eggs, the males will fertilize them
and the baby fry will be swimming within 4 days. The frys need formulas
before they can take on flake food, while adults need veggies, meats with
protein, flake foods and live and frozen foods like brine shrimp and
bloodworms.
I love greens and this
fish would be hard to say no to, especially adding the gold, silver and orange!
I'm using Benartex's
"Burlap" fabric line. I love the texture of the fabric, sooo much.

month is:
