    Well my new babies were finally ready to come home, so I packed them up, grabbed a few of their 'play things' (AKA plants) and took them to their new home. Here are some pics.

    Here is my favorite girl, Ghira. She loves the camera

    Here are the two girls together, Ghira and Delli (can anyone guess my favorite chocolate?;)) Unfortunately, Delli is a little camera shy unless Ghira is there to hold her tail (literally).

    Both again, one on either end

    A look at their home, with 'the grove' on the right side and the 'play area' on the left.:)

    Yes, it's brine. I brought home a bag and let them have a feast day. I was surprised. They weren't in the tank for 5 minutes before they started eating.:)

    They are erectus seahorses.

    I can't help it with them. Ghira is bigger than Delli and already shows off for me. She also will swim over to Delli when she's hiding in the back and wrap her tail around her's like 'It's okay. There's nothing bad out there':) They've got a ton of personality.

    Yes live brine, although they are used to frozen as well. The live is just for a treat.:)
