Is it wrong for me to be admiring the rock more than the fish?  :)

I hereby put forth the motion to carry the honour of announcing the September photo contest winner at the October meeting separately from the pending October photo contest winner so that the often reflective Paleofishgirl is remembered well and truly and properly for a photograph of her very own voted the best of the rest.

In this way, she can be properly honoured whilst not losing the recognition for whomever may win for October.

Seconders?

Good job PFG, well done.

That's it! Now I'm all shy and blushing. :) Yeah, I like it too. Hard work and ....lots of fighting with Frontosas.... (they eat my plants, ba*****s). :)

I cleaned up a newly torn apart plant last night, and this morning there was another one. I think one more plant and soon I'm going to enjoy Frontosa Sushi. :)

Sounds like a time travel thing, pictures accepted until the 23rd, 4 days of voting, then the winner will be announced on the 23rd, that 4 days of voting should be quite a trick. ;D

Perhaps Chris, you would like to amend how the process occurs so that everything could be done by the actual meeting taking place on the 4th monday of the month. :D

They have finally settled in and are not as spooked when I approach their tank, thus I was able to capture this photograph. Usually it's just a blurred streak.

I noticed emerald crab out for a stroll in the open, with the lights on!
Thought it good time to grab some pics as it typically hides all day.
Guess the shrimp didn't like the crab encroaching on his turf, or
maybe just wanted to steal the focus ?
Shrimp charged twice (~5 secs apart), crab didn't re-act, but slowly made it's way
deeper into shrimp's turf.  Shrimp ran away...
