The Triops Died
It finally happened….The Triops died. Yep i came downstairs on sunday morning to find all 5 had sunk to the bottom of the tank and thats where they planned to stay. It was actually quite sad to see them dead especially after seeing them grow from just an egg.
One thing i will say is don’t buy the little fellas if you don’t like bad smells because they stank.

New Toys
Yesterday while in Toys R Us shopping for some new toys for Alfie we came accross a box with what looked like sea monkeys in. They are called Triop.
I know im probably more excited than the rest of the family to see these creatures grow. So yesterday i filled up there tank with some water and emptied the eggs in. Now its today and there are small and by small i mean small, Fishy things swimming about. I shall try to keep you posted on the development of the little fellas as they grow up.
Members of the order Notostraca (colloquially referred to as notostracans, called Triops, tadpole shrimp or shield shrimp) are small crustaceans in the class Branchiopoda. Triops have two internal compound eyes and one naupliar eye in-between, a flattened carapace covering its head and leg-bearing segments of the body. The order contains a single family, with only two extant genera. Their external morphology has apparently not changed since the Triassic appearance of Triops cancriformis around 220 million years ago. Triops cancriformis may therefore be the “oldest living animal species on earth.” The members of the extinct order Kazacharthra are closely related, having been descended from notostracans.

A New Addition To The Family
Its been a bit of a secret for a while now but i can finally announce that we are going to be adding a new member to the family on or around Febuary the 2nd 2009. That’s right there is a child on the way and i cant wait. We had the first scan on the 27th August to find out thats its a little baby boy
This is the first photo we have of the boy and as soon as we get more i will post them to the site.
The baby is 4 Months 1Week and 6 Days old today and yes i am counting every day with a little touch of excitement.
Keri is doing fine and starting to show that shes actually pregnant now (makes it more real) you can read about what its like for her on www.blogbutterfly.com
The one thing thats really getting to us at the moment is that we are stuck on choosing a name for the little fella. We have come up with a few and we just cant decide so i have added a little poll to this post just to see what you the reader thinks of the names that we have chosen so far.
Loading ...Happy polling and i will keep you all posted on the baby, keri and how things are going.
