yea yea, likely story!

I thought middle Tx never got rain! Keep your head down though, lightening is a buger!

We have had rain for 3 days now, off and on, its like a God send around her right now, we are way to dry.
Lots of flashes of lightening and thunder. I love it, but strange that one line is out and another isnt.
All we get on the other is static.
HMMMMMMMMMM
I am on IM tho if you have that.

Well Luckie turned 3 years old last month! So I figured I better update the thread...especially since I cleaned the tank pretty good last night... Uneventful, no daredevil stunts, surely one of the easiest, least dangerous events in her charmed life.

If you need to catch up (I know it has been a while)
Lucky Turns 45 days old

...and now some new info...
Luckie has put on a growth spurt common with age and becoming female. Her mate (a year younger than she is) has accepted the role of male in this pairing. While I don't intend to breed these two, it is important to note that I have seen some nesting behavior for the pair.

Here is the happy couple "hiding" in thier cave (shot from the backside of the tank)

Here is Luckie out getting some food

Both of them out for a bite to eat

All in all, now that She is not being moved around alot she has led a pretty calm last 2 years. Apart from the occasional cleaning of the tank we don't disturb them much. One thing that I really like is when I have to catch them, they are so used to human contact that I can easily catch them with a cupped hand. They almost swim into my hands when I am in the tank... ah the life of Riley!

I hope to update more often from now on...

Thanks for the interest...

I was thinking the same thing when I was posting that update, I had to go back and re-count.

Congrats and we miss you here.

I miss posting as much as I used to. I will attempt to do better. I don't mind posting answers when I can to help others, but as a RC Sponsor, I feel a little wierd posting "me" type stuff.

Thanks again...got some good news on the horizon too...check the Fish breeding section Marina...
