| so ive decided to name him Johan...long story and i dont have much time right now, maybe later...
i got a video of him which i will try to post later when i get home...
i dont think i will be getting any more pix very soon, i tried last night and this morning, but as soon as he sees the camera in my hands...stress bars, and faded colors...but as soon as i put it away, he is fine...what a weirdo lol |

| now i have a little time...
story behind the name: i was reading a book this summer and one of the main character's name is johan...he is a warrior/assassain and and my boy's pelvic fins are black at the base (where they attach to the body) and the rest of the fin is a white/silver color that looks like a sword the way the fins come to a point...so thats how he got his name...
i meant to post the video last night, but i got sucked in by the olympics lol ill try to do it now...but im at work so im not sure if this comp. will load it correctly |
