the polls are in...

well, thanks to everyone for helping us decide the names of our little friends. the polls have come to a conclusion and it's time to name our pets.


our fish will be called Ray*; the frog, Webster.

they are quite the little rascals, especially Webster. he is such a character!

*as a sidenote, we have two more fish to add to our tiny school. they were found a few days ago frantically swimming away from the mama fish in an attempt to not be eaten. after netting them and taking extra care to keep them alive (do you know how much it takes to keep a 1/4'' long animal alive?!), they both are doing well and are about double their size now. their names are Bart & Dart. Bart likes to float comfortably at the bottom of the net while Dart won't stay still for even a moment. we can tell them apart by their coloring. they really are adorable. anyway, the point of this asterisk is that the poll names were chosen based on inaccurate knowledge, and while we have since learned that our fish is a female, we have kept Ray as the name although we understand it is quite masculine :)
