A new addition...

No. Still not pregnant, sorry to disappoint you.

Issac loves watching the fish. He laughs like crazy when we feed them. Maybe because the Clownfish is exactly that, a total clown when he eats!
We got the yellow Clown & 2 Blue Green Chromis' but within hours the Chromis' died. Apparently this is really common, they are so popular that the dealer doesnt have much time to acclimate them so they go from warehouse to dealer to buyer in such a short about of time a lot tend to die. Phew! Took them back and got 2 healthy ones! The little Clown was SO excited when we put them in the tank in their baggie. It was as if he was like 'BUDDIES!!!!!!' All he did was swim like crazy around the bag poking it with his lips.
We added another crab, this is an Emerald Crab - the other 2 are hermits (no picture of them sorry)

3 Mexican Turbo Snails. They like to poop.

This one likes to show off - and he's a pest towards the others. I catch him climbing onto the others backs as they are towering above the substrate clinging onto the glass for dear life.

So there we have it. Our Salt water tank. Kind of boring right now, we're waiting a bit longer before we get some corals. The key is to add slowly so you dont crash it.

Oh, and we have a starfish - maybe. He's about the size of my pinky finger nail, however we havent seen him for awhile. Maybe a crab ate him, or he relocated to a new spot.

Annnd.... for all those that say fish dont have personalities, they do. Our little 'nemo' fish is quite the character and LOVES dinner time. I'm afraid he's going to jump out at me one day he gets so excited!

Names are all TBD at some point....
