Massacre of Cube 4698

A month or so back I bought myself some dwarf puffer fish for my tank at work. These cute little guys hail from India and are extremely smart. Never cared for them before and admittedly I wasn't sure what was to come from owning them. I bought them anyway due to the shear fact they seemed way too interested in what I was doing. Thought they'd make good cubical mates... they'd give me something to play with.

They ate all of my snails. Micro snails -crunched. Ramhorns - pulled from their shells. Trumpet snails - cleanly snipped out from their spiracle homes. Apple snails - dying of hunger, they ventured out of their shells despite only to find dwarf puffers attacking them with teeth one would only imagine on a hamster. I never saw it coming. And hopefully due to the under developed light sensors snails use for eyes... hopefully they didn't see it coming either.

Let this be a lesson. Don't purchase dwarf puffer fish. No matter what anyone tells you. They may be cute. They may appear to want to be inquisitive. But all they're doing is using their mind tricks to get you to turn off the lights so they can eat every last snail.

Damn puffers...

Are you out there?

Dear Person Who Reads This Blog From A United Nations IP Address,

Hi! First of all, thanks for reading my blog—I appreciate your patronage. Your continued reading of my blog has me curious about who you are.

You are a fantastic mystery to me that I would love to solve. I would be absolutely tickled if you would contact me and identify yourself. Do I know you? Do you know someone I know? How did you find my blog? Why are you on such an antiquated operating system? These are questions I'm dying to ask you.

Curiously yours,

Carollani

Big snail, smaller snail, smallest snail.

Right before I took this video, the big yellow snail was trying to eat the Ramshorn out of his shell! It was shocking.

Long time no snog.

We (all of the contributors of this Snog) have all been meaning to write in the Snog, but we're lame and have been distracted by our "lives."

I want to take a photo of my tank now that I've cleaned it out, added a bunch of plants (thanks Lo-g!), and gotten a big fat yellow apple snail (thanks Lo-g!). It's looking fabulous and the snails seem so happy.

I also moved Tara's snail vase back to her desk, where it's displayed more prominently. I also gave her little baby snails a chunk of algae disk so that they'll grow big and strong.

And now, just because it's been so long, here's a blast from the past:
