BIG NEWS! Tank Upgrade! New Snail!

Big news!! My birthday is tomorrow, and as a gift, my parents bought me a new 20 gallon tank! It came with a baby pleco and a yellow apple snail. I decided to donate the pleco to Petco, but willingly kept the snail. His name is Socrates, and he is very fun and interesting! As for the tank, my new 20 gal will replace my 10 gal, and I will be giving my 10 gal to my cousin. I also got a fancy pH tester!

Victory!



At last! I have finally lured Caligula out from hiding... I just had to clean the tank! He even came out front and I go some great shots with him and Xerxes! He is super shy, though. So Zeus didn't eat him! Huzzah! It's so weird, Caligula is like a mix of Xerxes and Zeus... has the same color and pattern as Zeus, same size and has a similar attitude (except a little shyer). Not to mention that his mouth is almost a perfect mix! Oh, I'm SO happy! Zeus didn't eat him after all!! The two best shots are posted. Well, I'd might as well give you an update... as I said, I cleaned the fish tank. I even moved some stuff around and added a plant. Other than that, most hasn't changed... I used to be worried about Caligula... but it's OKAY! I also got some pH tester strips and treatment (thanks, mom!) I hope you enjoy the shots!
