Getting Sick?

My throat has been feeling ick these past two days. I hope I'm not getting sick. I took a Cold-Eez this morning, so maybe that'll help.

Last night I noticed some faint white stuff on Nemo 3 (our big orange one, aka Coral). Sigh. As a precaution, I decided to catch her to do a freshwater dip (sometimes dislodges parasites). It's much easier to catch a clownfish than a blue tang.

I dipped her for about two minutes, and then returned her to the tank. At that point I noticed that our little black clownfish, Nemo 4, had decided to seize the opportunity and dove into the anemone! Coral/Nemo 3 had never let him get close to it before. The rest of the evening Nemo 4 spent snuggling in the anemone while Coral wasn't looking.

Coral didn't look too much better after the dip, and I was afraid I'd find her floating this morning, but she was in the anemone, chasing Nemo 4 from it, and seemingly okay for now. I'm getting the QT set up in case, though. I at least have a good chance of catching the clownfish, unlike the others.

Oh, I got my digital Rebel! I ended up buying the new Rebel XT, which is 8.0 megapixels, and smaller than the previous Rebel, which is nice, because my hands are smallish, and the old Rebel was a bit bulky for me.

I haven't tried it out too much yet, but so far I love it. It's FAST. Marc and I were snapping pictures with the flash one after the other, with no downtime. I took a close-up of Bandit's nose, and you could count all the little scales on his nose.

It'll be nice when the weather gets better and I can start taking some pictures outside. I'll also have to start getting pictures of the tank and fish.
