survival and interpretive dance

It looks like little Fishbo has managed to find a way to survive! Hurrah! I have discovered he has set up camp in the royal treasury, and comes out periodically to scavenge for food. He is still wee and bitty, but he is scrappy, and darts around the tank at a moment's notice (particularly when Mommy tries to get her camera to take photos). Behold!

Hanging out in the back of the tank.


Hunkering down under the yellow plant in the corner. Expert camouflage.


Meanwhile, back in the net, his buddies are feasting and growing fast! If you look closely, you can see Maria hanging out in the background like a great white shark.

Pigs, all! Heh. Hopefully they'll be big enough soon I can get better photos of them.


And with their children all pampered and cared for, Maria and Captain Von Trapp have taken up interpretive dance.

Oh sure, it looks like they're just swimming back and forth aimlessly, but to the trained eye, it's quite musical.

Though I cleaned the tank a couple of weeks ago, it looks like it's going to need it again soon -- and some new plants, mayhaps? Hmmmm? Anything is possible.

Happy Halloween, all!
Stephanie
