SweetMamaKaty 2,788 Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) Look who came to live with me today! Recognize him? When Daniel hinted about needing to rehome Vamps, I jokingly said I wanted him. Then I realized I really did. We're calling him Franklin, along the lines of our "F" name theme: Fiona, Finley, and SwimFish... He's one big, beautiful boy! Right now he's in an observation and de-stress qt, then he'll be moving in with Finley, our other telescope. Here are just a few snapshots from this morning. Couldn't have asked for a more timely cold snap, with a fish in the mail! Great timing, and packaged well, thanks Daniel! Alive and well, acclimating Doing great taking it easy in qt! I should have asked Daniel for his camera too, because my pictures aren't going to do this guy justice. Adding a video later!
