Name- Lenny
Age- Unknown (He has been in my care approx 11 months.)
Size- 2.75 inches (Including Tail)

Description- Lenny is hanging out begging for his monthly treat of a pinkie mouse (frozen and thawed) that I usually drop right at that spot. He is an energetic little guy, but not aggressive at all. He peacefully shares his 29g brackish setup with some ghost shrimp and one tiny guppy fry. He even has some pond snails that he lets live, some of them, heh heh. The background/foreground of the shot are photoshopped for effect but Lenny is "all natural". He is currently a little depressed from losing his GSP buddy Georgia, so cheer him up and send a vote his way!

Hes a lurker, but compared to mine M Palembang, hes abit moore shy, and usally during daytime he like to hide behind the big roots in my 63 US Gallon tank.
In the night time he become moore active and swim around hunting for food, He likes to eat worms,bloodworm,snails (small crushed) and other insects eggs/larva (ex. maggots) from own breeding.
In the beginning he puffed a few times (he looked like a tennisball) if he got spooked and when we did waterchange,he was abit jumpy.

The GSP I had years ago slept just like Balki, all curled up. I still remember the first time I saw him do it - I thought he was dead!

Looks like #1 is running away with it!
I need to buy a camera because I'm not doing poor Balki any justice.

lol my boss just mentioned this acronym, i never heard it used before. but he said to someone we work with "its an RTFM error" and the guy was all confused cause he never heard of it either and said it with a very strange look on his face. so my boss said what it meant with this serious look on his face and the guy was turning red because hes kind of new but my boss was just joking anyway

I work in the computer repair industry, so I deal with RTFM failures on a daily basis. I see a lot of ID:10-T errors as well.
