Whahaha. Will have to try that from now on.Am I the only one who reads Jacques narrative with a French accent?
If Jacques and Speedy were to team up and then find a snapping turtle with some moves they'd have themselves a dance crew!
Glad she's perking back up!
I don't know if it's the new arrangement of her tank or if it's the shrimp getting even bolder, or what it is, but Jacques has gotten a LOT more active these last couple of days! She even came up front tonight and I thought I was going to get The Salmon Dance, but not just yet, apparently.
I dropped in a few little pieces of salmon anyway, and the ghost shrimp all came running: they climbed on HER, they squabbled over the salmon and one started dragging off a piece of salmon- and SHE WENT AFTER HIM!!!!! I was amazed!!! I hadn't seen her go after the ghost shrimp in months and months!!!!! She very nearly got him, too, but he wisely dropped the salmon and scooted out of range just at the last moment!!!! Then she turned around and went back to the other pieces of salmon, and went after THOSE shrimp!!!!! For a while, she stood on a piece of salmon, looking around like she was waiting for a shrimp to come take the bait, but they stayed well out of reach!!!!
WOW! I tried to get a photo of the action, but it was short lived- here the shrimp are just out of the frame.
But: I think she's BAAAAAAAAAACCCCKKKK !!!!

Maybe we will be getting yoga demonstrations again! Such a wonderful turtle
Thank you, Pearly!What a great news Bea!!!! I am beyond happy to hear this. Btw I love to watch ghost shrimp! Wish I could see Jacque’s tank in real life I mean
Thank you, Yvonne!That's a pretty nice picture.
And she ia Back!!! [emoji126] [emoji126] [emoji126].I've been enjoying watching old musicals lately and apparently Jacques has enjoyed them too!
Last night we watched "Singing in the Rain" with Gene Kelley and Debbie Reynolds (I think she may have a crush on Gene Kelley...)
This morning I heard sounds coming from Jacques' tank and managed to sneak a shot...
Jacques: "I'm SINGGGGIN' in the rain, Just singin' in the rain, What a GLOOOOOORIOUS feeling, I'm HAAAAAAPY again.....
