I luv those lil bumblebee snails - always working and soo easy to spot on the rocks!
 
I already considered this one lost, it spent weeks with the skeleton outside and I moved it to various places in the tank, until I added a second wavemaker for the bottom part and since that day it has been improving, I feel happy that I never gave up on him.

Wow, well done, looks great! I’ve got one, not even close to looking like yours, that is recovering from my Rasta Rampage sweepers stinging it bad. This gives me hope. My improvement is slow but steady.

I do as well but the buzzing drives me crazy sometimes. ;)
 
I would have to give in with that face! My wife buys our dog Frosty Paws ice cream and he loves it!
What? Dog ice cream! I need to get for Penelope- she only has 3 teeth left and we are going to vet tomorrow to assess another removal

Luis, that's awesome! It looks really nice!!
 
OMG! I had posted my response before I saw this. My lil brother knows me too well
Saddest part, my mom and I are soo tired from watching the babies yesterday that not only are we not having any Mexican food today, we are having - wait for it….

Leftover spaghetti and sauce - can’t make this stuff up!

I really want a taco - ok, like 4-5 tacos. If I can find a tortilla in that frig.. I’ll fry it up, salt it, Parmesan cheese it and dip in ultra hot sauce. Wish me luck.

Micromussa tend to be resilient. They like shade and medium/low flow. Mine sit on the ground under an overhang.

See my above reply.

Dump that spaghetti ON the tortilla. Give it a try!
 
First day at the new job tomorrow. I made chicken soup today so I will have leftover soup to take and I have a soup thermos just in case they don't have a microwave close by. Might take a half of a ham sandwich and some snacks as well. Lord I hope they have a coffee maker, maybe I should take my small coffee thermos as well just incase...
