[Sean W.]

Thanks guys...

[apachepufferman]

Congrats Sean!!! I think you will have a good shot at the POTY award. Thats just a cool pic. It makes me want to get a floating moss ball. Where/how did you do that?

[Sean W.]

at Petco...

[Sean W.]

but it doesnt float anymore, as the moss grows and weighs it down, it sinks, and finally, mine sunk and hit bottom
