A couple of weeks ago Lydia's beta, Sarah, left us to go to that fishy heaven in the sky. She actually is buried in our backyard now. Lydia was
devastated to lose her poor friend. We actually discovered she had died while Lydia was at her first friend sleepover. We decided to go pet
shopping for a new friend and Lydia chose.....CRABS! Yes, you read that right...crabs. They are little freshwater crabs. Lydia chose two little guys (who knows they may be girls). The bigger one is named Joe and the smaller one is Sam.
That is Joe peeking out there.
They are pretty interesting to watch, especially when they are trying to kill
each other. Joe and Sam don't seem to like
each other much. They generally behave, but yesterday I actually saw them pouncing on
each other and I had to
separate them. They also get the fish bowl dirty pretty quick. Hopefully they last a little while.
