haha! great idea! i just hold a shell up to the glass and when they both come to investigate BOOM pull the shell away and whip out the camera for a quick shot. the look on their face says "i dare you to come into this tank after that little maneuver.. :x "

My fiance sticks a snail on his underwater camera when he's trying to get a picture of my puff! She gets too close to get a good shot though, so he has to pull it away from her and she gets maaaaad! :roll:

I only have 1 of Button sleeping. He usually sleeps in the fake plants and Vettel sleeps under the log so i don't have any of him sleeping.

Phoenix, that's adorable! It's like a hammock :D

And seven, I think I could OD on cuteness every time I see a sleeping-Balki photo.

The lights have been off in Lola's tank for a few hours, but she is crawling (yes, crawling) under her fake tree stump and harassing the ghost shrimp.

Yeah, it is like a little hammock! Too cute!

I thought Balki was going to stop curling, but he just changed sides. Lol

I saw Lola creep into her cave and almost settle on the gravel--and then I leaned over for a closer look and she shot out like a bat out of hell.
uuuuuuuugh.
