FTS for January 15/09 No budget change as nothing has been purchased (I will be replacing this picture...battery was dying, and I just realized the date...OOPS) I've had several rock falls at the "bridge" area....so tank is a bit sad looking today...but next month will be back to looking good. The red mushrooms have taken off...I have 3 now....2 bigger and 1 small....everything else is growing well..... FTS for February 15/09 No budget change as nothing has been purchased FTS for March 15/09 No budget change as nothing has been purchased March 19/08 WOOOT, turns out I can't add!!!!

Lol, they're definitely a cool cat to own and they get a lot of attention but trust me when I say they are not a low maintenance cat!! I'm sure "Chaloupa" can vouch for that.

Most high maintenance cat I have EVER owned...! And they are fairly "needy" too.....almost like a 2 year old forever....
Yeah, his shirt is getting a bit small but it was the only clean one I had at hand, and he was freshly bathed so couldn't put the dirty one back on!!
