Meet Nelson and Icarus

[BrookeLea]

Ok guys. I know some of ya'll have been waiting for pictues. I finally got around to it

Nelson is the butterfly. He looks tie dyed to me, which makes me think of hippie, which makes me think of Willie Nelson. haha I'm a dork.

Icarus is the yellow/orange guy. He's sooo tiny! His orange/yellow rays remind me of the sun, so I named him after the boy who flew too close to the sun and had his wings melted.

Nelson:

Icarus:

And here is how they've been spending much of their time:

Ain't they cute?

Bless him! I love it when they do that for the first time. Oberon made his first a few days ago. When I woke up and looked in the tank he saw me and swam up to it then looked at me like he was saying "look new Mummy. look what I've done for you" then swam back up to it! SO cute!!
