I still have Penelope. She is a touch more shy without Spot but she will get there. She comes and peaks at me from the tunnel whenever I’m near. She has started hovering over the food dish Snooping so I think she realizes that’s where yummies come from.

Positive thinking and salt did not work. RIP Spot. 
 

I was talking to the other one discussing name change so I do not think of Spot every day I see her. We went through a few she decided on Penelope. 

Sorry 😢

Ever thought of breeding them?

I just got them at Keystone Clash. I’m me so of course I’m hoping they breed 😁

[Guppysnail]

See her peaking to greet me 🥰

She definitely found where yummies come from 🤗

ORD she’s so cute!  Did she sleep in the little pot?

I think so. When I turned on the emergent lights is when I took the pics of her saying good morning.

Whatever my latest adventure is, it’s always the current favorite. My all time coolest was working with @dasaltemelosguy on Reverse Respiration 🤗

I’m old. I sleep 6 hours every day. I don’t need more. (The occasional afternoon pause once a month is a guilty pleasure I indulge 😉)

Seeing as the other two have sadly passed on 😞 are you going to get some friends for Penelope?

Of course.

Aww so sorry for the loss of the 2 rams. 😢 I would be so stressed if I ever had fish shipped. Your fish guy sounds great though. Best wishes the next shipment goes smoothly & Penelope gets friends 💙

Uh-oh

What’s going on there? Another snail😂?

[Chick-In-Of-TheSea]

I see potential. 😬

[Guppysnail]

Penelope and I had quite the day. She was hiding in the front corner behind the moss this morning. ☹️  I watched and the increase in temp spurred panda spawning behavior in overdrive. I fed everyone and she positioned herself in three different spots to try to get in the food bowl. No luck. During spawning pandas become MEGA 🐷  

she came to the front and chattered her lips at me in complaint. Then started glass surfing. I knew right then this combo would not work. She is a slow pick all day eater. Pandas are non stop pigs and eat to fast. 
So the funny tank (I will be 100 years old and still have that silly tank🤣) I just set up for my new adventure now houses Penelope also. I put 2 guppy babies in to keep her company. She is much happier. She will join my new adventure and go in mom n dads tank if I think she will be ok. If not she can live cozy in the funny tank. 🤷‍♀️  I like laying on the floor chatting with her anyway. 
 

This photo was just after I put her in. Tonight she is much darker colored and suspiciously her front three dorsal rays are getting darker 😲. I’ll get photos tomorrow of the new color in ?her? Dorsal fins.

Mom n dad my big snail shrimp some CPD and my new project eventually. No bottom feeder fish. Mom n dad have their own food dishes. I’m kind of enjoying our one on one time right now and she seems so happy. I may just let her have that tank.
