I wish! They are on my list of wants right now. I know a couple people locally that have them.

 

 

I am sure, they are pretty and bright ... I scored a pink pulsating xenia for $6 last weekend. Healthy double headed frag also.

I'm so sorry to hear about the YWG! I bet that was bummer to be excited about a package and then find that. I'm glad they're taking care of it though and that you really like the firefish. I can't wait for some pictures of it!

 

Also, I just have to know what this other Vivid is that you guys keep mentioning. I got that one is a fish store, is the other a strip club or something?

Vivid off of the 101 as Joe was able to pin point the exact geographical location per his photographic memory.

Ah, that explains the confusion :)

The true mystery is how all three of us knew exactly what the other was thinking without using words. :scarry:

Will they be a birthday gift? LOL

Is Joe's birthday soon? Mine's in 2 days....I'm not happy about it :lol: I've been consoling myself with lots of aquarium "gifts" :lol:

I LOVE xenia but I've never been able to keep those long term either <sigh>.

Good guess :)

 

When I looked in the bag I thought he looked like he was upside down. I couldn't get a clear look until I opened it up...poor little guy :(

 

Still haven't seen the firefish since it went in, but I know that's to be expected. They do love to hide in the beginning.

I promised pictures today so here they are :)

 

I don't think I'm going to get a better picture than this of the firefish. She's very timid. It will probably be a few days before I get that magic shot :)

Best I could do:

Another angle:

This last photo is where I see her the most while at my computer :)

 

I'm happy they at least made it through the night!

Awesome cleaner ... love the peek-a-boo picture! So cute, Gena.

They look great! My firefish took a week or so before it would come out much at all. Once it gets adjusted I'm sure you'll get a nice picture of it.

 

Btw, my magician palys are basically completely gone now like yours. Oh well...

My firefish took 3 days before he was on a regular basis. It took another 3 days before I could get a picture. He's pretty skittish about anything new. Now I can even put my hands on the tank and he won't hid unless I make a move towards him. My tank is also on my desk so I think that helps with new fish getting use to you.

Thanks guys!

 

I took these with my regular p&s camera. I should have used the iPhone. Maybe I'll experiment with that.

 

Joel...you see that blue spotted mushroom? That's where yours will be coming from when it multiplies :) Hopefully it won't release from the rock it's on! It's kind of threatening to, but it looks like it will leave tissue if it does, so we'll have more :)

 

firefish aren't aggressive at all. The first thing my husband said when he saw it this morning, was that it has big lips :lol: She does actually...looks like she's wearing purple lipstick :lol:

Take pictures with it. It's a great camera! If you tap the screen where you want to focus it will, that's also how you can correct the white balance :)

 

And yes I saw that thing! I'm in :wub: with it! I think the green one is starting to split.

Btw, Gena, how are the papaya cloves you got doing? Did they ever open all the way?

They look ok. They aren't all the way open yet, but they look like they will live :)

 

I'm uploading a video to youtube right now. Taken with my iPhone :)

 

It's very slow. I'm only at 2% after about 5 minutes :lol: Stay tuned...should have something by the end of the day :lol:

Uploading from the phone or from your computer?

 

iPhone loads 720p from the phone, you need to drag it to the computer and upload to get full 1080p ;) I learned that with my first big update video with the new one!

I put it on my computer first and am uploading from there. Ok...error. I may not get this to work on my own. I'm going to try uploading to photobucket.

Looks great gena!

Thanks, Randi!!!!

 

Ok...first video. I had to download it right from my iPhone. I promise the next one will be MUCH better. I'll have a professional editor (my husband) do it :) and it will have music too :)
