Sweeeet!

As for my guys:
Everyone was out in the open tonight when I got home from work. I caught Vegeta (who'd changed into a Mexican) and the new chap, Bede, pushing each other, and Vegeta had the last word (due partly, I suspect, to how heavy Bede's shell is).

I snapped some pics of the gang...

Aster & Harry in the tree.

And Luis under the shell shop.

Quince the fat tailed gecko; Amazonian minnows; and now Harry & Luis, Bede & Aster, Chandra & Jace, Pax, & Piccolo, my adopted PPs.
RIP Vegita :(

Looks like my new shells are a hit! Clawford switched to this nice tapestry turbo which is like, double the size of his spotted turbo. He's so big now I confuse him with Janet Image

Edit: That is Janet, that's why I was confusing Clawford with her ImageImageImage

Here's 2 of our 3 guys. Got them moved to their new crabitat and measured them. They've been down since the move, looking forward to when they start enjoying their new place

Harmony is well known for "hopping" backwards whenever I go up to the tank
