Happy Spring!

Spring has sprung and these little guys are everywhere! The fish will be starting to breed soon and we're hoping for a big year.

Our forum is more active now than it has been for years, with much thanks going out to Malawi Mother for staying at the helm for us. If it's been a while since you stopped by, please check it out... there's even a new section for your photos, and you get to brag all you want :)

Testing Video Feature

2007-10-05T19:41:00.000-06:00

Just testing out this little feature thingy. This is the cute little Neochromis sp. 'Madonna' from Lake Victoria. It's so named because of the black 'roots' along the base of the dorsal fin.

The banquet begins! We had more people than we had anticipated... normally you'd worry about the food, but we had more than enough. It was the elbow room (and butt room) that was the problem! Sardines anyone?

OK, I think I'm the only one that thought this was funny... it's just the way Dave said it I think... like Jeff was being a bad boy or something. Which he probably was.

Lost kitteh wuz lost.

2007-07-13T19:15:00.001-06:00

New fishroom kitty: Pocki. Showed up about a month ago and just never left... we ignored him for a while, then caved in to his demands for food and pettins... and finally about a week ago we resigned ourselves to him staying, so I made an appt for him to be neutered tomorrow so he could come live in the house. Lo and behold, his owner crawled out of the woodwork and cried, showing me pictures, and telling me the story of how he got out and got lost and she's been frantically looking for him ever since... so I handed him over.

We're gonna miss the little fart.
