I had 2 goldfish for ages - a fat little orange one called Charles, and a little white one called Camilla. (There also used to be a really BIG fat red goldfish which I named Fergie, but she died really quickly...). Camilla recently passed away... and after a while of wondering whether or not to get some more, I did.

I got another little orange goldfish (just a commet) and a little tiny sucker fish. I named her Diana, to keep up with my royalty theme, and called the sucker fish 'Paul Burrell' (the judge on Aust Princess... he was Diana's butler... and since the sucker fish's main job was to clean, I thought it was only appropriate...lol).

ANYWAY...

Charles and Diana seem to...well, flirt. Either that, or Diana is trying to eat Charles. They rub on each other, chase each other ALL DAY..there's not really a moment that passes where they are not rubbing against one another or chasing each other. I'm seriously wondering what's up - are they showing aggression or are they flirting? I dunno if they're male or female...

I'm also not necessarily sure what to feed the sucker fish. He's meant to eat the algae, but I cleaned the tank before I put him in there so there's really nothing for him to eat at the moment. Is there any type of food to feed him? He doesn't seem to be eating the gold fish food...

TIA!
