Upgraded Hicks Tank :)

I decided it was time for Hick's to have a bigger home So I went to my LFS and got another 5.5 gallon tank that was my plan and nothing more... But there was this little Crown Tail girl that I had seen the last time I was there and wouldn't you know it she followed me home(LOL)
So I move all of Hick's stuff into the new 5.5 ga and my new girl is now in the 2.5 ga
Say Hello to Mother

Oh Shawnie thank you!!!
And Yes, tonight with lights out after she settles some I plan on trying to get some more pic's Right now she's so tiny and is wearing her stress bars she looks almost brown,with clearish fins,the last time I was at the lfs I spotted her (but didn't have the room)and she looked greenish then she's been there in her little cup about 2 weeks I couldn't leave her there a moment longer (LOL)I can't wait to see what she looks like after she adjusts to her new spacious condo!!!

Survived the night :)

OK... she's still adjusting But she's looking better a little more color on her tail fins looks like some red in her now,and definitely some green She's still wearing her stress stripes but there getting lighter!!!Had some blood worms soaked in Garlic Guard(I finally found some)so her appetite seems good,She's moving around the tank more freely today and not just darting around anymore!I added the tree stump for hiding till I find something more suitable...I think she's a keeper
