I just got Cupcake and Sprinkles today. They're chilling very happily in a 30 gallon tank with a pretty new rock and plant in it... oh, and 8 ghost shrimp that they don't seem to be able to catch. Maybe they'll get used to catching them later. I'll post pictures as soon as they calm down a bit. :)

I don't know if it's my camera, or if they both were on crack at the fish store, but they're moving fast! Not fast enough to catch the shrimp though. The little guy is trying so hard!

They look it, but they have amazing F8 markings. I just can't get that close to them with the camera... they seem to be the only puffers scared of the camera.
And I named them that because they're completely vicious. Jason wanted Rodney and Byron, but the sweets always come out the victor. :)

Both tend to make you look like an idiot at a party or dance though...

One of my friends has a picture of me leading a conga line of nearly our whole senior class at my senior prom. :lol:

No, the only rhythm I have is my pulse, and that isn't even all that regular...I trip walking on a flat surface.
