What are my conchs trying to tell me?

["Umm, fish?"]

I should make this a contest. Caption this photo!

["Umm, fish?"]

"Oh come on. YOU try synchronized swimming in a shell."

["Umm, fish?"]

"The grass is always greener two inches above the sandbed."

["Umm, fish?"]

"You dance like you have two ... er ... one left foot."

The aliens have landed.

["Umm, fish?"]

Freakin' conchs. They're just trying to mess with my head at this point. What's wrong with this picture?


























Hint: Where's the sandbed? They can climb glass?

[Zooid]

have you been watching "Prison Break" in front of your conchs?

All of mine are still babies, and they climb the glass all the time.

That's just crazy. I've never seen them do it before. I actually caught this on at its highest point, just before it fell. I'm still trying to figure out how, with one foot they can simultaneously hold themselves in one place and reach up for a higher grip. Crazy buggers.

I would imagine it depends on how clean the glass is, and how heavy the conch. :-)

Since mine are small, and the glass is rather dirty :-( they can climb pretty much at will. I've even seen them climb into the path of a powerhead and then they look like the shell is going to be blown off any moment... So I sometimes feel bad and knock them off at that point, fearing they'll just hold on until it kills them...
