New addition -- peppermint shrimp

[wontonflip]

Even though I've only found 1 aiptasia, and it was in the sump's siliconed baffle, I went ahead and got a peppermint shrimp!


My nosey clown

Pale shrimp when I just put him in.

And voila! After a day, he's finally adjusted and is bright red! It seems he's picked his favorite spot, too.

Maybe I'm too obsessed...I spend the first thing in the morning and the last thing at night taking a head count of all the critters LOL....I gave up on counting the crabs and snails, since they're so friggin' good at hiding and when I think they're dead, they pop up out of the blue from whatever vortex they were hiding in. I came home to see how the shrimp was doing, and couldn't find him...so I flicked on the lights for a few seconds and saw him crawling out.

The nessarious snails had a picnic last night when I dropped a few pellets of food so I could watch the shrimp eat. All my nessarious came out to par-tay! Shrimp didn't touch the food..he ran laps around and up and down the tank...hehehe.

Yeah, I've given up trying to hide how obsessive I am, cuz I know everyone here wouldn't be doing their tank justice if they weren't obsessive by at least one thing about their tank. :D I just might be more OCD than any of you if I listed all the things I obsess about!
