EARTHQUAKE!!!

30 07 2008

Hi guys…..I got freaked out today….the tank started shaking uncontrollably…I was so scared…I hid in a little cave for a few minutes….almost crapped myself. C’mon….you would have too if you lived in a glass house and had no way out….and the outside of it was filled with water. If it broke, you would have drowned.  Right after it happened, the boss came out and looked for me…but I was too well hidden.  I finally poked my head out and his face changed from worry to relief.  He looked at me and said I looked really dark.

Anyway, we found out later that it was a 5.4 magnitude quake, about 30 miles away.  Talked to the other puffers…they all seemed ok, but Daria looked a little scared. Poor little girl. She is new and this happened. I hope she is going to be fine.  Well, things seem ok now, and I am more relaxed.

Hope all of you are doing ok!  I am off to rest. Elevator going down!





New to the family!

Well, it was the bosses birthday yesterday, and Joanne bought him a new Dwarf Puffer! She is pretty. Her name is Daria. They named her that because a friend they met online on the Puffer Forum named Daria told them about a fish shop in San Gabriel, and thats where they found her. So thats why they named her Daria. The boss is going to try and get some photos of her soon. She is tiny. She fit in sooooo well in the tank. Well, thats all thats new right now…See you all later! Elevator going down!





My little adventure

14 07 2008

OK, So I am a dumbass just like my boss, but it nearly got me killed. I was eating breakfast the other morning, and I got a little close to Pinchy’s cave. He caught me in his claws. I had to puff up to get away. Then I saw more worms and started eating there again. The boss tapped on the glass and then i realized that I had to get away! Talk about stupid.

Anyways, I am a little down. The green square came into the tank and took Halo away. The boss said that he needed to get a new home. I am happy I got to stay, but I miss Halo. But, I am going to have fun exploring. Oh well. I am gonna go to bed now. Hope everyone is doing well……..Elevator going down!

Hi guys and gals….its Elevator. Things are going well here. The boss just changed our rocks around….that pissed Pinchy off quite a bit…got his cave filled in….but he has it dug out again.  Halo and I are excited, we are going to have some salt added to our home soon….gonna become adults soon!  Here is a video of our newly redone home

Talked to the guys in the other tank today. They got a remodel yesterday. And some new friends. The neon tetras are back, they got some Amano and Cherry Shrimp, and some new plants. They are quite happy over there, though Derek does seem a little sick. Hope he gets well soon. They got a new video too!

We got a big treat today. Our first crab.  It was frozen…..then thawed in our tank water…..I thought I had died and gone to heaven….IT WAS YUMMY! And the boss tells me he has clams too.

Just a quick update…the boss also said he saw Blinky a few days ago….he seems to be happy in his new home.  I am happy for him….He is a good friend.

Ok, its getting late…I am going to bed. Elevator going down





Pweeek Gaaa Bwooo

At least that is what it sounds like underwater…..I popped my head out when the boss was yelling it and it sounded more like peek a boo. I swear…he is an idiot, but I am playing along with him. He goes hiding around a corner, and I think he is out of the room and go about my own business…then he runs back in the room and yells “peek a boo”. So I come bolting to the front of the aquarium, fins a blazing with my most excited look on my face. All that work and not even a nibble of food. I think I am on a diet right now. Anyhoo, I am really sleepy right now…gonna go in my cave and go to bed for the night. Good night! Elevator going down.
