~ Candy Land ~ New Pics up Radions are UP! Tons of Top Downs.

[FlCandy]

I will get DSLR pics up tonight. Taking some now, and more tomorrow when I can get top downs. Through the glass just doesn't do Flynn justice as the blue is not as vibrant.

 

Just so glad it got to me today and is looking like a squammi already fully open way more open then I would think for a teeny baby like him but man oh man it's just awesome. Thanks for looking.

Can't wait!!!!! I'm so envious of your clams. I love the size difference between Kevin and Flynn too!!!!

 

Talk about bad/weird dreams....I've been having some crazy ones lately and I know why. We've been watching Breaking Bad before bed. My husband introduced that show to me last week. It's awesome, but OMG. It is messing with me. LOL.

Okay IDK who is who but they have been dubbed Mac and Roni Just popped in my head.

 

Look at that full belly! He is eating pellet foods now!

 

 

Best fishie ever, doesn't take any $#!% from the blenny and is so social.

 

Finally Flynn the teeny Blue Squamosa He is much more blue then this I have to get a top down.

 

 

 

Side by side they are so different in size.

 

 

 

I know I am terrible but save the best for last right!

 

More tomorrow hoping for some top downs.

Lovely photos. Flynn looks like he's doing well I just love those rainfords! So cool that you have a pair of them. Are they normally together? I think I will have to get one for the seahorse tank eventually. They're just too cool.

 

I said it on Facebook, but man UPS is a pain. I'm glad it was just their dump tracking system and that Flynn arrived safe and sound today. You gotta love when they hand you the boxes upside down. Don't they care at all? My USPS delivery man always makes sure my boxes are right side up and is very delicate with them when they say "fragile" or "live fish". UPS however tends to throw my packages around and they tend to show up looking like they were kicked repeatedly. Ugh! I'm just glad it all worked out!

Thanks! And yes their pretty much together all the time. Order from Blue zoo or anywhere that doesn't ship UPS. I love USPS or FedEx. They are so careful. The poor lady at the call center was like OH NO and stayed on the phone with me the whole time once I told her what was in the box. She was very concerned about Flynn as well. I was ready to say hey I will pick it up from the Asheville Location if their not out for delivery but it was so thank goodness.

 

He is doing well, a little gapey but that is to be expected. Never hit air while acclimating or moving and as you can see from the pics there was doing well about 1 hour after placing in the tank. I expect some pissy behavior for the next few days but the mantle is extended and he is fixed into the plug well now.

 

Thanks again.

[FlCandy]

OMG husband just MADE me buy a macro...... be ready next week for some ill pics once I figure it out. FML I need to get him and myself to stop buying early Christmas presents.

I just got home about 40 mins ago from my parents house so catching up on reading for the last 2 days. I'll be at their house next Fri night through Sun night probably, help them w/ their garage sale Sat and Sun & they can do it themselves Mon. I'm beat. I had to check out your thread to see how it went w/ your clam.

 

SO glad you got it today. Phew!! Wipe brow! Stunning blue. I know why you all are getting clams!! You'll have no choice but to upgrade in 2-3 yrs like you said. Hmmm, who nearby would love to have a 60?

 

I had something similar w/ a shipment here I was supposed to get on a Sat which was now going to be delivered on a Monday but I said leave it for pick up on Mon am, then they said for pick up it has to be Tues??!!. They told me they didn't deliver in my area on Saturday which is what I paid for- well, somehow while I was out at the grocery store, guess what was sitting on my front porch when I got back, that Sat. And their computers said it was back on a truck to Charlotte???

 

Take it easy and feel better soon. Your Galaxies are a visual treat! Just love your tang. He's so much wonderful in a little package right now.

Ha that's a bit down the road! LOL But yes the upgrade will be necessary.... new stand to then... that will be sad we put this baby together in FL and I love it. Beast that it is must weigh about 200-300 pounds.....

 

You relax as well feeling a bit better today and thanks! I hate UPS.

[gena]

I'm so glad I checked back in tonight!!!! He's soooooo fabulous!!!!

 

So how did you transfer him without taking him out of the water? I didn't know it was bad to expose them to air????

 

Now I can't wait for the top down shots!!!!!

 

Ok...just googled it real quickly...the air thing. I guess it's not a big deal and you can "burp" them to remove any air bubbles. Or, also read they can get rid of the bubbles on their own.

 

Clams are so fascinating.

Yeah I used a Tupperware and while he was in the acclimation container I tipped him and the water into it then I lowered him into the tank water just enough where I could grab him without him being in the air.

 

Thy can and you can burp them but I prefer to nt have to and he is so small I would have felt like I was abusing him! Lol poor little clammy.

I'll have to remember that. I pulled Celestia right out of the bag (after acclimation) and put her in the tank. And I didn't burp her! She doesn't seem to be bothered by that, but what do I know, I'm still learning.

 

So ETA on top down Flynn pictures?

[eitallent]

After catching up I feel emotionally drained! I was so angry at UPS!

 

I am so glad it all turned out alright. Flynn looks gorgeous as does everything in your tank.

 

Looking forward to the pictures from above. He looks so tiny next to big brother Kevin.

Thanks again for looking.

[eitallent]

Your zoas are so happy. Love it!

[FlowerMama]

You have such a saltwater thumb, I love the differences between your clams designs.

[FlCandy]

Wow! Flynn is looking great!

 

Your zoas are so happy. Love it!

 

Thanks other then having his intake a bit more open then the others he is looking great.

My zoas pretend to be happy some are not as happy sometimes but they go through phases. Pissy critters.

 

You have such a saltwater thumb, I love the differences between your clams designs.

 

Thanks, I have my orchids too which are blooming again funny I love growing things.

The clam patterns are all so awesome I want more! HAHAHA

[gena]

 

Awesome!!!! He is absolutely stunnning. So...do you just sit in front of the tank all day long now staring at the clams? I know I've been spending more time in front of mine.

 

Thanks for posting those. I'll have to check out FB too!!!!

[Zia]

Can't wait!!!!! I'm so envious of your clams. I love the size difference between Kevin and Flynn too!!!!

 

Talk about bad/weird dreams....I've been having some crazy ones lately and I know why. We've been watching Breaking Bad before bed. My husband introduced that show to me last week. It's awesome, but OMG. It is messing with me. LOL.

OMG, i love that show, always on the edge of my seat. I know what you mean about messing with u

It's filmed in Danielle's city, i wonder if she's a breaking bad fan.
