View Full Version : The algae is always greener...

Like the expression 'the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence', one of my Brigs seems to think the algae is greener (or at least tastier) on the other side of the tank divider.

When you're a snail with a huge shell, climbing up a divider or the glass is done with relative ease. However, scrambling over a divider requires a huge effort because it entails hoisting yourself and your shell out of the water.:rolleyes: Now although you may do this when necessary (to lay eggs), in other situations improvisation is the answer. As you can see, this Brig seems to think the algae is better or the other side and so hangs on and stretches over the divider to sample it. Silly snail. I sure hope it was worth the effort.:twitcy: (Take note that everybody else seems content with what's on their own side. )

ROFL He looks for all the world like he has little paws holding him up. Reminds me of that naked guy in a barrel drawing. :laugh:

I actually have Cana's in a tank beside one with plants. Their tank has no plants. I'm waiting for one to smell them and end up over there.:rolleyes:

You're right... he does look like the has little paws. :laugh: When I saw him there, it cracked me up... I just had to take a picture.
:err: As for your Canas... knowing how much they love plants, all you need is one as motivated as the Brig in this picture and you could wake up one morning to find the planted tank totally devoid of vegetation. :Eek:

Don't encourage her, Ms. Pamelajo! (I am picking up a Cana from her today.) :wideeyed:
