thanks! :-)

Clyde's habitat is coming right along he's doing very well happy and moving around a lot more. he hasn't been in his old tank in 3 days. and he's already started growing!!! :-) and he's enjoying all the new plants...and different types of greens & fruit. and I started giving him calcium...

Yeah he's already more active and adventurous...Lol

thank you

clydes habitat so far... still have alot of work to do but it's a lot better than that little fish tank
