I'm glad to see you finally got your fire belly toad!

New froggies!! The lfs wanted to get rid of these so gave me two for one. One of them is most admirably chunky.

The tank is looking rather good! Note the Himalayan maiden hair fern up top, the rice plants on the right side, and the flashes of red in the aquatic plant growth: those are padamya barbs looking for pellets.

This one looks wise. Maybe devious. And I'm pretty sure it's a female, since it's almost twice as big as the others. What should I name her?

Big Bertha

Samantha? It just seems like a big bossy name, but still lady-like. Probably some Samantha out there who will be salty though.

 

[jaylach]

Gollum.

At least one of my badis is alive and well. But one of my frogs has disappeared, and the big one won’t eat. I think they do not approve of the waterfall rebuild. Hopefully I can get it done this evening and get things back to normal.

Well, the big frog disappeared a few days ago, though I'm fairly confident she's still in there. She had pretty much lost interest in food, which is never a good sign. Hopefully she'll turn up. The other two were trying to hide out in the top of the waterfall tonight, but I rousted them out and gave them a cricket each. Their names are Ago and Boso, which are both fun to say and actually mean something. Ago is Nepali for fire, and Boso is Nepali for chubby.
