Thanks for the links! I'm going crazy sitting here at work, because I want to be home with Sprout. Ever since I got him, the TV has been off, my books folded shut, and I just stare and think of ways to decorate his tank.

I'm going to put a little fake door-bell on his coconut shell and make a little address plaque. Maybe I'll cut him a window and built him a mini-chimney.

Violet - that looks like a picture of Sprout!
