2006-01-30, 02:08 PM — Elppa the snail

So, if you haven't, go see the picture of Elppa the golden apple snail on fork. He resides in my tank, now that things are cycled! I'm completely enamoured. You'll notice the caption of the photo says "she." I checked. "She"'s a definite "he." Who knew that apple snails had penis sheaths? They do.

Next will be to get a photo of the pleco, who moved in this weekend. But since he's a fairly high-strung fellow, don't count on that happening any time soon. He's managed to spray sand all over the tank and uproot at least one plant in less than 24 hours thanks to various flipping-out moments. I'm thinking of taking out a few of the rocks in there to create a little more space for him to move around. And I'm wondering if they create tomato-cage type things for protecting aquarium plants from spazzy fish?

Incidentally, Elppa has not been seen since the pleco was added. Poor guy.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Well, we'll just have to wait until Stephen Harper shows his true, baby-eating self.

Because I need to update sometime, this is going to be another fish-related bit. Except I have no fish to relate anything about, so I'll just mention that I've put some pictures of the just-about-freaking-cycled tank up on fork.

Go! Enjoy! There will be more.
