• Fish Adventures (Part 2!)

  Day 5 (Feb. 28): Nothing to report except that all of our charges were alive, yay!

  Day 6 (Mar. 1): One of the shrimp molted! At first when I saw this odd shrimp-shaped thing curled up in the tank I thought one of them had died, but I counted and all three were still in the tank. Fished out the mysterious thing (no pun intended) and realized one of them must have molted, but I don’t know which one. None of them looked that much bigger, although Oohaha is huge as usual.

  The rest of the shell sort of broke/disintegrated when I was trying to get it out of the tank, but the head was relatively intact:
  

  Day 7 (Mar. 2): Went out to dinner with Da-ayi, Da-yizhang, Sara, Phanat, and Amara. Afterwards they came over to check out our tank. I think Phanat and Sara were more interested than Amara, but it was still fun to show someone else our fish and shrimp.

  Day 8 (Mar. 3): Did the first official 10% water change. Although I did do that emergency 50% change and earlier in the week we had done another 10% water change when Sharkbait was making me nervous lurking with his fin practically breaking the surface of the water.

  Day 9 (Mar. 4): All of our animals have officially lived for 9 days in our care. Challenge complete.
