Helps add balance. I'm fine with one drab fish in the bunch.

The coloring may be drab, but it is an interesting fish to watch.

Yeah, dude- wasn't Halloween last week?!?

I'm so not through the to do list I thought I'd kick in November.
And I'm back to work after the trip next week. So that sucks.

For sure. Just kinda floats around not doing a whole lot. Then he'll move to another corner and do the same.

He's very deliberate in his actions.

I like him. He's refreshing amongst all the flash and action.

The Dainty Dictator misses him. It was her favorite fish. Aside from naming him "Dum-Dum", she called him the Johann of the tank because he was so food motivated.

Well now I feel bad taking him. He's not the most aggressive eater I have, but hold his own.

If you want him back just let me know.

No thank you! She'll get over it. Hopefully my snail population will, too.

Then I guess it's a good thing I'm leaving for a week at Christmas.

Which evidently Happens next week. How'd that happen?!

Yeah, I just had that moment of panic myself...

We found out YESTERDAY that Hubs sister and 2-3 of her boys are arriving TODAY and will be here through some time Sunday. That blows my minor baking plans for this weekend. I guess I'll be doing that Tues/Weds next week which are my days off.

They're super inquisitive though and a very interesting fish to watch. I liked mine, just didn't want to risk the corals once the Aiptasia was gone. Now that it's back though...

Watch when he sleeps. They go up to a rock or something and hook up like it's a horse on a hitching post.

That time thing, sure does have a way of sneaking up on you.

Hey @Mschmidt - Microcenter did a walkthrough on Lithopanes!

It uses Blender but the idea is probably similar if you use Prusa or Cura.

Those are the colors of lights I like! Unfortunately no one else likes them so we are just stuck with white and red, which are also nice

Wife likes white. We had colored out, so they went up. I like whatever looks good. Germany had real candles that looked amazing!
