Me and Hubby: .......

Pincushion Bulldozer

Fiji - Week 6, a photo by szachko on Flickr.

Out of curiosity, we added this beautiful Pincushion Sea Urchin as a new addition in Fiji tank. We hope this charming creature will help clean out some algae.

What we did not expect is that this purple Pincushion actually move very fast and move fearlessly. This pincushion will knock down or move all the subjects on its way. We have to move our Hawaiian feather duster to Ferrari tank as soon as we found out that its cousin, pencil sea urchin, loves to EAT feather duster..

We haven't found this urchin is a lady or a guy, yet since we don't fee like to ZAP the sea urchin and see if the urchin sheds out sperms or eggs.

Oh well, what we have done?!?!

Hide and Seek

Ferrari - Week 4, a photo by szachko on Flickr.

This new clowny is a new addition in Ferrari. She explored the new territory and found the rock in the front. Hubby went to find her and she just played hide and seek with Hubby.

Mystery She Wrote..

Amazon - Week 9, a photo by szachko on Flickr.

Couple days after brought home group of Neon Tetras, we found this baby fish hanging around right under the water surface. She was so tiny that we were not sure if she would have survived. She disappeared into the jungle later and we kind of forgot about her.

Weeks after, girls were screening about how big (well still tiny) the baby fish became. We checked her up and verified that she is not one of Tetra since she is missing those bright blue and red stripes.

Her both eyes are kind of at the same level and sit almost on top of her head. Hubby thinks she might be a Betta.  If she is a Betta, then we might need to spawn off one more tank...  As of now, her identity still remains a mystery......

Bedtime Stories

As Chief Running Mouth put it:
"You got it for FREEEEEEEEEEE..."

Big Bang Theory

Aquarium Fiji - Week 1, a photo by szachko on Flickr.

In responding to Absolutely Fish Midnight Madness event, the whole Zachko family stayed in line for about one and a half hours in the dark, carried the tanks, live rock and live sand home at one o'clock in the morning.

After girls went to the bed, Mr. and Mrs. Zachko still kept washing the tank, set up the sand and lined up the rock. At 3:00 AM, the reef tank was established. At 10:00 AM, we found a star fish, a snail and a shrimp wondering around the rock. The tank is named "Fiji."

Well, the Zachkos just got a call days later that another tank is on the way. On Boy...
