Not such a good photograph of Stripes, but I'm keeping tabs on her progress

Dec. 29, 2005

Stripes hunting in the QT Refugium.

Theonon's been a bit bolder lately.

Resting in the 'Fuge

It's been a traumatic day for Stripes.

Ready to Release in the QT 'Fuge

Stripes is gaunt just as Theonon was when he came home with me.

Dec. 21, 2005

I brought home a diminutive female Mandarin.

Twilight Stroll...

He stayed visible for a few shots...

Twilight Stroll...

I should have used the telephoto setting...

Twilight Stroll...

But I didn't know how long he would remain in view.

Twilight Stroll...

Twilight Stroll...

I haven't gotten a good picture lately, but he is clearly less gaunt.

Sept. 4, 2005

He still seems thin, but I can see the glass crawling with copepods at night.

I caught Theonon unaware...

August 25, 2005

Only Kionon the Rock Blenny is in focus. At first I worried that Kionon might bully Theonon, but they don't bother each other.

August 25, 2005

It is hard to photograph Theonon. He is shy and doesn't like to be watched.

August 25, 2005

By now Kionon, the Rock Blenny, has been added to the tank.

July 31, 2005

Theonon emerges from among the mushrooms and yellow polyps...

July 24, 2005

He was the only fish in the tank. My four-year-old son named him Theonon after one of an imaginary group of winged bears called the Flying Kamengo Bears.
