Just thought I would make a post where I could share all my photos. I'm developing quite the habit for it.
My first 20 or so were pretty fuzzy and out of focus, but I seem to be getting the knack for it, because I took some pretty nice ones this evening. ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Here it is, my first fish tank ever. A lovely little 10g that currently houses:
1 African Dwarf Frog (Fhergy)
1 Mystery Snail (Bento)
1 Amano Shrimp (Shorty)
5 Fancy Male Guppies
A pic of the tank in its original state:
The new improved tank with log deco (which Fhergy has since taken over)
Can you spot the african dwarf frog?
I'll give you a hint, he's staring right at you...
Okay, here's an easier one. I somehow managed to get both of them together!
I still need to settle on names for these two....
Here's the little male, a feisty one who swims around like a maniac and is
anything but shy. The pic is a bit grainy, but you can sort of make out the
gland behind his arm here.
And the little female. She's very shy and spends her days hiding in the dojo
or floating at the top of the tank pretending to be dead. (Scared me to pieces
at first!)
I never see her eat, but she maintains a decidedly ungirlish
figure nonetheless.

And how could I forget Bento? My poor little mystery snail that almost turned into
a "boxed lunch" for my betta. His shell is starting to look a little banged up thanks
to his frequent "free falls" down to the substrate.
His antenna is growing back amazingly fast though.
Shorty is one of the newest additions. I absolutely love him, he's so interesting to watch!
Here is Red, one of my guppies. They're active little fish, so very hard to get a picture of.
And here is my little 3g which houses my Moontail (shh... SD!) Betta, Darby O'gill.
I decided I couldn't stand the thought of my frogs getting hurt after Darby
snapped off one of Bento's antenna, so he got a little place of his own right next
to my computer.
Darby loves exploring his little barrel. It has holes in the front, back, top
and side for him to swim through, and he uses them all equally. The pic
is a bit larger because it's an earlier shot, but I think it turned out alright.
Here are some close ups of the little show off. Most of these are self explanatory, I think.
Update: Darby has since built his first bubble nest! And boy was it a doozie!
He was VERY proud of himself.
And last but not least, I just had to share this adorable pic of my cat Max meeting Darby
for the first time.![lol :lol: :lol:](/images/smilies/ipb/laugh.png)
