= that's it. =
we've got a puffer fish!!
yesh, it's that cute. when it swims, it's tail closes, but when it stops, the tail opens.
and chiangchiang! it's carnivorous. =...=
it nips the tails of the two remaining guppies in the fish tank, and it's turning against it's good friend the plecostomus and trying to nip it's tail too. the poor guppy's tail grew out when the puffer fish was busy eating earthworms, but the now fussy puffer fish refuses to eat unfreash earthworms and start nipping their tails again. thus, the beautiful long fan tailed plae colored graceful guppy with really nice spots that changes color when it moves has now a jaggered tail and the poor blue mosiac delta guppy's tail is so short that it probably flips it two times faster than before in order to swim as fast. and well, the plecostomus is so fast that it rarely gets nipped in the tail, but it's dangerous..... bad puffer fish. but it's damn cute. the piece of junk wood in the tank has this opening at the top and there is where the puffer fish retreats to sleep. stupid fish. but it's adorable.

the terrapin grew to become a red eared slider turtle. (in what way is THAT a terrapin!) its huge. it's shell maybe as long as my forearm.. the big one's the female, called bian3 bian3 (flat flat) cos of her concave shell. duno why it's like that, probably because the other one climbs on her shell. the other one's smaller, but still huge.it's called yuan2 yuan2 (round round) and it's a male turtle. entertaining things. bb loves vegetables and yy hates them. however, bb is super fussy and refuses to eat the hard parts of the vegetables, like the stem what knots. yy just refuses to eat them. but yy loves shrimps. and so does bb. when you feed shrimps, you've gotta get one person to feed bb one shrimp at a time while you pour in some shrimp for yy to eat. and does he eat quickly. why you have to do this it that bb is so huge that she can block yy off from the shrimps if you simply pour the shrimps in, so yy won't get to eat them. poor thing. same as food pellets. you've gotta turn them opposite ways and pour food in separately. have i said this? they're super fussy eaters. and they're super musical. when ever someone plays the piano, they start dancing. when the wind chime rings, they dance again. when someone sings, they dance also. as long as there's music, they dance. and no, it's not a responding to sound thing. they don't respond when you're simply talking or laughing. and they're super crawlers. my mum left them in the balcony and closed the balcony door, leaving a small gap, so that they could run around free in the balcony for awhile. BUT. when she went back to the balcony, they disappeared! and where were they? one was knocking on my door and the other was sitting in for my sister's chinese tuition. what wonderful crawlers. and mighty fast too. try to catch them and they run like free.. as free as a turtle can with it's short legs anyway. in addition, they are amazing climbers.we barricaded their roaming area with heaps and heaps of newspaper once, thinking 'that should do it'. they won't be able to escape. and when we come back, where are they? roaming the house. again. apparently, they climbed the newspapers, half way up to my knee high and made their escapes. scary things they can be... and they're huge. nd still growing i suppose. apparently they can grow up to 30 inches, which is... .762m... freak. that's damn long. shoots.my my... it's living in some unoptimum condition with no basking spot and no huge water mass for it to swim in... so sorry my dear terrapin turtles.. welsh, the miaomi is thinking of releasing it in some pond or something, but it's sad... noooo. well she's been thinking about it for maybe about 4 years? haha. well, hope it doesn't happen. ish going to make the ridiculously free sister to make the 'tank' a optimum place for it to stay, with basking spots etc. =)) if successful. =..=
and so. the animal report is done.
