Well, we filled up the old crawfish tank and ran the filter for a day, then headed to Petco for some new friends.
Stander (left) is our skinnier, more active African dwarf frog. He likes to spend time inside the filter. No joke. Kbely (right) has a bigger belly and the spots on his head are more prominent than are Stander's. He's also more shy... He might like to spend time in the filter, but he's too darn wide.
Our golden apple snail, Gary Jr., eats pretty much everything. I think I saw him nibbling old skin off of Stander! All I know is, Stander came out nice and dark and shiny.
Emilyn's guppy, Shimmer, has a yellow tail. Allen's guppy, Swimmer, has an orange tail. The guppies are friends. Very shiny friends! They like to bounce off the smooth glass rocks at the bottom of the tank. We have not yet been able to figure out why they do this. Some websites say it's indicative of parasites on their skin, but when they do it in turn like they do, they sure do look like they're playing! Or at least trying to communicate with each other.

If Stander keeps eating like he's doing, we're not going to be able to tell these bellies apart!
