Fish pics

I finally figured out how to take some decent pictures of our African cichlids*.

This guy is my absolute favorite. Look at the blue on his face!

*Not all pictures are from AFTER I figured it out. My favorite male has since stopped breeding though.

In the sea there is a fish, a fish that has a secret wish

We drove about 3 hours (each way) to pick up V's Xmas gift today. His love of fish is not restricted to those that are Dancingfish, so I got him actual fish as his gift. He bought this BEAUTIFUL 125 gallon, hand-cut, bamboo tank on eBay over a year ago and it has sat. Empty.

No longer!

Here is a sampling of some of our new friends...This guy is my favorite. The gorgeous, Enantiopus melanogeny

Finish or no finish

As promised, here are Dr. B's armwarmers! A self portrait taken with my nose while balancing the camera on my lab. I have to figure out the timer still! 'Deal or No Deal' is on while I wait for Lost to start. Yeah Lost! Not 3 weeks late or on my computer!

I've been working a lot too, sent another grant application in today, prepped for field work next week, and marked fish. How great do these guys look? (They don't usually have the yellow dots, mom!)

I'll be meeting up with a friend at a conference and then in the field next week. 20+ hours of driving by Sunday. Woo Hoo! Spring Break!
