Oh, I'm sorry, Noel!

Hope you have a good Saturday nevertheless:<3:
It's ok :)
He was going down hill pretty fast and a pretty new fish, but thank you.
I hope you have a good Saturday too. :)
I may wait on the shark until after I move, because this tank is fairly small, and they require quite a bit more tank.

Kristoff and Elsa are officially boxed in for the winter.

I'm aware of the advice not to do it in your first year, but I know for a fact that:
A. They're in their native environment
B. They've done this before.
C. They've dug in really well, ready for the winter.

In other words, I may not trust myself but I do trust their years of experience. I'm monitoring the temps inside the boxes as well as in Elsa's would-be hibernation site.

I had to dig them out. Question: is it OK that they went in a bit dirty? I wanted to disturb them as little as possible.

I have no experience hibernation my tort, either.
Maybe if you post in the Species Specific section you'll get more info?
Sorry I can't be of help.

I'm good:)
I'm going tree hunting with some friends today. Yes you read that right. One of my girl friends wants to chop down a perfectly good tree and drag it in her house and decorate it. I'm going along just for sheer entertainment purposes:p
