New frog

I'm happy to report that my remaining fish appear to be recovering well. Their Dorsal fins are up, their tails are healing, and they are eagerly consuming the fish flakes in the morning. I now have twelve fish, not counting the glass one. And now I have a glass frog too, or rather it arrived at the same time as my glass fish, as a Christmas present from my adorable nephew (who is now taller than me, I can't wait until he grows even bigger and I can make him do all of the heavy lifting.) Here's what the card with the frog says: To the Chinese, frogs represent the lunar, yin principle. It was once believed that frogs came from the moon (well, considering the freezing thing, I can believe that), hatching from eggs that fall from the sky with the dew, so their images were often used in rain ceremonies (hence the snow?) Like all frogs, our little green friend symbolizes joy, luck and transformation.
