joyous abandon

This fish is (Finding) Nemo's cousin, he's a salt water clown fish who unlike Nemo isn't supposed to need an anemome to live in. However when he started treating a piece of the coral like an anemome George thought maybe he'd better get him one anyway to keep him from wreckin havoc on the coral. It took a couple of days for him to figure out what the anemome was for but boy howdy once he did!!! He was diving in full speed ahead, swimming, and hiding in it's tentacles to his little hearts content. I didn't think it was possible for a fish to express joy but we watched the most joyous expression I have ever seen from any creature! He was practically dancing! He's hardly left his new friend since he discovered him. I would hate to see what he'd been like if he really needed an anemome. haha

George's Salt Water Aquarium

George has a new toy, he is so excited about this fish tank. It is something that he has wanted to do for a long time and didn't have the opportunity as his tank had fish in it and they weren't salt water fish. That all changed when I was given a fish tank complete with fish so we combined his fish into my new tank and he was able to convert his to salt water.

It has been a learning experiance! Both of us have had fresh water fish for years but neither one of us had any experience with salt water so it took a few false starts the help of a "good fish guy" and now he's on his way!

So I thought I'd share some pictures of some of the things that are currently thriving in his tank right now. He has some soft leather corals, some plants, a few "mushrooms", several hermit crabs and 3 shrimp, and a couple of fish .Oh yeah and a bunch of "live" rock. Thats ocean rock that never been aloud to dry out, you never know what will pop out of it!

Hope you enjoy the show and trust me it's far less complicated from this view!!!
