He seems to love the fact that he can hide underneath it. :lol:

Thank you! No idea on the boy/girl part yet :) Waiting for him/her to be older to find out. Either way the name will still be Tophat! :lol:

I know what you mean. The vet is sure Sheldon is a girl but she'll stay Sheldon. ;P

Here's mine. I know the tank is too small, he was a last minute addition and it was all I had on hand. I'm saving up for a bigger tank right now, but I was out of work for four months after a botched appendectomy. Despite that, though, Bubbles is doing much better. I rescue-napped him from a friend after she asked me watch him last minute. Poor thing was in a kritter keeper with no filter, lighting, heater anything. :( He was so lethargic when she dropped him off I thought he wouldn't make it. Now he can catch minnows (If he feels like it…). As soon as I get my new setup I'll post it!

Good for you for rescue-napping! This looks like a nice tank for now. How many gallons is it?

Hope you are feeling better. :)

It's a 10 gallon. The one he was in originally was 5 gallons. :)

Bubbles is a cutie and still a small little guy. That should give you some time to save up for a bigger one. What else do you feed him?

Two types of pellets, ReptoMin and Zoo Med, various greens (his favorite is bok choy), blood worms, various insects, occasionally carrots and squash and feeder fish. He is a spoiled boy. :roll:
