Look at the pretty colors on Clawford!!! And all that hair
Love how he was like "oh no! She found me! Let me go ahead and quickly scoop up some water and scurry away!"

We have Kelp up from her molt a few weeks now and only way I know it's her because she ALWAYS goes back to "her spot" at the top behind the coco wall - she has even made her own "shelf" up there
. Then we have a mystery crab. I think it's either Mini Pinch who must have eaten something nuclear while under and doubled in size or Clare (most likely) - although she was only down for about 5 weeks if it's her. That would be extremely short for her since her last molt took about 2 months. But either way, whomever he/she is, they have sharp fine black tips and hairy legs

Thanks guys, he is a trip
I have another video of him on my hand but he fell in the food bowl 'cause he just wouldn't stay still! Maybe Clare just came up early this time Kermie, Clawford's molt only took around a month and his littler brother Tuna took around 2

Omg! I don't blame you! Hey, but the longer it takes just means that it's that much closer to being done!

Guys, my Chime will have been down 6 months next week
. Only way I know it's not him that's the mystery crab right now is because he went down in a different shell and I don't see his previous shell in the shell shack either.

Maybe he buried that shell and there was the one the mystery crab is in now already there? I found Tuna's old shell underground but no Tuna, and he came up in a completely different shell too! Now he's down again and who knows what fashion statement he'll make this time

4 of 5 up for once
Strawberry TRASHED the tank. That's kinda his specialty.
Finally got some chia growing
but you can clearly see it only grew because they couldn't get to it and eat it. I fed them mosquito larvae from our ditch in our yard for a second time. This time I built a sun-drier thing and caught several hundred. All of them were dead this time so no mosquitos flying around like the first time
2 small PPs: Leonardo, Biscuit
3 medium to large PPs: Kermit Rocketson, Lulu, Strawberry (named because he is red, not actually a straw)
1 Neon Tetra: Stevie. 1 Crawfish: Larry
R.I.P. Larry, Crabby, and Hermie (all PPs) O'mally (Neon Tetra) John Cena(Crawfish)
