I think I hear Barry White playing...

[imagirlgeek]

Wow!  I was just sitting here and happened to look over at the Duboisi tank just in time to see a sign go up that said "If this tanks a rockin', don't come a knockin'"  

Okay, so there wasn't any Barry White playing and I may have imagined the sign, but there is DEFINITELY some fish-on-fish action going on RIGHT NOW!!  How long does it take from this point until she spits??

Well, for what seemed like hours last night, the male was setting up his love shack with mood lighting, chilling champagne, setting up the romantic dinner for two - aka - moving sand from his little territory.  And then he went out on the prowl.  He picked up this hot little number who was obviously out looking for some action and took her back to his place.  They started the shimmy/swim/shimmy/swim and then she would hover over the area he dug out, and circle back around while he hovered over the same area.  Then she'd pick at the sand with her mouth (which I'm hoping means she was picking up eggs).  This went on for quite a while.  I felt like such a dork, but there I was trying to crawl stealthily across the living room to get a closer look, but I was scared to get too close and have them get freaked out.  I know I would!!    8O

Seriously!!  With that kind of entertainment, who needs cable??       Okay, wait.  Now I feel like a perv.

My TV is about the size of a 10 gallon and is sitting between the 115 and the 125.

I've got a 60" HDTV but we have no cable TV and I don't remember the last time I sat in front of it.......
