first time i tried 2, managed to survive for a few weeks then gone. 2nd time tried 2 again but kept hiding and died. This time i tried 4, manage to feed sometimes and swim out in a group. maybe more in numbers can have higher survival rate?

God Blessed all who appreciate His wonderful and beautiful creations.

Woo.. sounds exciting! How's your rock scape at the moment? If you go with the 'cleavage' one, it will be damn nice to see the various anthias darting in and out of the valley, especially during feeding.

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate.

And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

haha...no choice....i always find myself rushing in-and-out of LFS...that's y i usually take a break after getting my stuffs to warm down b4 heading home.......if not my CO will start to text me to ask me when i'm coming home....unless i cheong after 9pm...that's where i have complete personal time...but by then most LFS closed liao except AM....i recalled the last time i went to reaper's place to collect the rocks from him was 9.30pm, by the time i left his place was 10.30pm...haha...

also another reason y, if i catch up on movies...will be either friday / sat midnight....
