We had sleet over night and that made for a very slippery trip to feed Leo. Now it's rain and it's supposed to get warmer up to 50 today so hopefully it will thaw some of the slippery ice covered snow that's laying around still.

Yeah, I have to go make sure the water for the chickens thawed. I'll have to bring their water in overnights next week. We're expecting single digits.

Yes we are expecting the same weather. I am done with the cold and am ready for spring but we still have a couple of months of the yucky stuff. Lol

Good morning everyone! Some Saturday morning cartoons for the kids while I sip my coffee. And catch up on 6 pages from overnight
It's a lot to keep track of :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:
 
As far as possible lol
Is it a bubble tip? My rainbows were known to wander and multiply.
Yes it's a bubble tip and seems to be settled it's been in the same spot for several months now.
 
This is what I was thinking they would each be on their own rock but the rocks are touching. It's an entrusting stylo if that makes a difference.

If you have a bubble tip, you just have to be able to move frags around. It'll split or decided to take a stroll around the tank one day or another. How are you mounting the frags?

X2 on this.
 
I was tempted but then figured he would eat my other fish and my cuc so until I decide to do another saltwater tank I decided to skip him. I might go back today though for the sand shifter they had if it's still there.
Guess you know my trigger by now. ;)
He'll try to get the snails without much success.
Hasn't touched any coral.
He's a big baby, pretty much tame like a dog.
I can feed him by hand, my coral beauty chases him around.
Definitely wouldn't put any crabs in there or shrimp but he's been pretty good.
Each one can really have their own personality but the neat thing about triggers is they are super smart.
And, since they see in 3D like us, they're super personable.
I'd never not have one.

With glue onto the rocks.

Not sure how I will be able to move them especially the entrusting one.

Yeah, those are tough. I guess you'd need to try to block the anemone from getting there.
