Introducing Lily and Inky

ali000 · May 21, 2008

Well, hubby knew I was upset about so many of my larvae dying that last night he came home with these 2 little cherubs

. (although he calls them freakazoids

)

Lily is the leucistic and Inky the wild-type. They are tiny, we reckon about 3-4 months (someone may be able to clarify that?)

I think they are a little on the skinny side, I didn't feed them last night because I wanted them to settle in, but this morning they have had a hearty breakfast of chopped earthworm and they will be getting bloodworm for dinner

It's also an opportunity to post piccys of my tank with it's surreal red sand!

oh, thats hubby's ghostly reflection you can see in piccy 2

enough chatter....here's the pics

Oh Alison they are darling!!! (Hubby cute too but a distant second, I'd say

- but what a sweety he is for bringing you your "freakazoids"!)

I love the red sand. It looks so posh.

Thanks eva, they are far far cuter than hubby, although I do love him for bringing them

I'm just really frustrated now, I'm sat at work and I just want to go home and stare at them

Terri9967 · May 21, 2008

Wow I too really love the touch of the red sand.

Nice tank Ali. The axies do show up well against the red sand. Have fun with your new babies

ali000 · May 21, 2008

Thanks
Just popped home in my lunch hour.... 20 minutes drive home, 20 minutes staring lovingly, 20 minutes drive back

I won't tell hubby, he'll only moan about the price of petrol etc :talker:

Oh Wow! It looks so beautiful. I wish we could get red sand like that here! It looks so regal.

I like the fourth picture, it seems like a mexican standoff - "You move". "No, you move". "I'm not moving till you move!".

ali000 · May 21, 2008

:grin:Jacq, you always make me laugh. I often think of them as passing each other in the tank calling, hey amigo

...Until the food enters the tank, then I imagine it's "Hasta la vista, baby!"

ali000 · May 21, 2008

did you get the cartoon 'speedy gonzales' in Australia? thats how I image the axies talking, in a squeeky mouse mexican accent

blueberlin · May 21, 2008

It must be a very colorful world inside your head, Alison

-Eva

ali000 · May 21, 2008

Thats a very polite way of putting it Eva

roud::grin:

and this is me sober

give me a glass of wine and the world becomes distinctly abstract and sort of paisley pattened

blueberlin · May 21, 2008

I of course have no idea what you mean... I am totally normal.. and .. um, what was that word again? Oh yes, sober. Never touch a drop of the stuff... nope, not me - I most certainly never open a bottle and then go online (cheers and bottoms up) :hat:

hehehe

ali000 · May 21, 2008

You're a sai 'hic'nt , shorry...saint

blueberlin · May 21, 2008

Oh... whew... but... prb'ly.. we should set a good example... you know... for ... um ... somebody...

Ok. "Always hold the glass at an angle to the mouth of the bottle when pouring." Good example, that.
