There are a few more pics (from day 2 - present) on the website...click the little red house thingy above this post.
I think he's quite the cutie as well. Eats cyclopeeze and crushed flake.
He has adopted the plastic plant to host...I am pretty sure it was simply a lack of options!

Rotifers yes, greenwater no. I use Instant Algae's Rotifer Diet instead. Much better, super concentrated, no muss no fuss and way cleaner than I could ever get.

Awwww he does look so cute.. its too bad he's going to grow up into a mean and nasty bastard! (she probably by that time).
Out of curiosity what happened to the other ones in the tank? Did they just all die?

Living up to his name!

Well Lucky got new digs this weekend. He is now the ruler of his own 5gal tank. While setting it up, and preparing for the move- - Lucky once again lived up to his name.
While being transfered from his previous 1 gallon tank to the specimen container for acclimation to his new home. Lucky jumped.
Ended up in the garbage disposal side of the sink (Tank is in the kitchen). While the wife and I were freaking out, I get a flashlight to see if I could see him in there still. Sure enough there he was.
We kept a saltwater drip via a turkey baster going to him until I could locate the right tool to retieve him with. Didn't find anything I felt safe using. Then the wife had a brain storm...started going thru a drawer in the kitchen and out came the salad tongs...cheap ones...very thin blade shaped.
After a few misses, and turning lucky with a drip of water from the baster...I managed to get him up onto the tong and out of the disposal.
Into the specimen container, and acclimating to the new tank.
Total time: under 3 minutes. I can say though it seemed like 10-15 minutes....wife crying, pale as a ghost...my hands shaking...just too much fun.
Lucky is doing well in the Ocean of a tank (seems like it to him anyway)...just wanted to share...never give up, never surrender!
