Well after my hubby made the long drive to Syracuse, NY he arrived with a couple of my packages:D

All my fish arrived alive and in great shape:D Great job Al:thumbsup:

I see that I will have to work on my photo skills throughout this challenge as I suck at taking photos but here it goes.....

Congrats Evelyn!

Your photography looks fine! If this is how they looked the first day upon arriving they will perk up much more in a few more days. I know because that was what happened here lol...;)

Have fun Evelyn!

Evelyn, they look great, pretty handy with the camera too!
I like the shot of the one in your hand, that will be a reminder of the "before they were 10 inches". ;) Good job.:)

Well just finished my second water change for the day. Boy these guys love fresh water. All is going well, I fed them for the first time today (I never feed on their day of arrival) Bloodworms was on the menu for today. I forgot to mention that my ph is 6.8, temp is 29.2, gh & kh <1 & haven't got the tds, where oh where are you little meter??? somewhere in a box:mad:amazing how things go missing so quickly around here.

Anyways, all is looking good:)

Hey Jim

Sorry that I didn't reply til now, have been busy with life and water changes;), LOL.

Anyways, they are currently in a 35 gal tank in OT. In about a month they will be moved over to a 55. I currently am changing 75 - 100% a day. 25-50% in the morning and 50% in the evening before I head off to work. My largest meal is being fed in the morning (with beefheart) so I do a water change then to remove any uneaten food and waste to avoid it from poluting the water.

Thanks, these guys are quite cute and definitly have personality:) The photo taking has been the biggest challenge for me as I am new to it. That and the fact that these fish don't stop moving for very long to take a good shot.:p I will continue working on it and will be posting some new photos soon:)
