From the Shedd Aquarium's Acquisitions Coordinator:

Thank you for your patience. We've finally been able to consult with our director and received approval to acquire your lungfish...

I'm so happy! So proud!

That rocks. Fluffy's gonna love her new home.

awww, that's awesome.

but won't you miss the crunchcrunchcrunch noises & fluffy's wood floor refinishing services? hehe.

after you send her off, you could make a diarama of fluffy's life by using the stuffed fluffy & your old tank. kinda as a transitional placeholder to get used to her absence.

wheee!

aw, that would be so cute!

you could paint the inside of the glass to look like the water, and put a little plush crayfish in there...

i'm pretty sure there was a rubber crayfish that came with that Fluffy doll - it was your idea!

wow. some day i can go to the shedd and visit something i know! :)

are they giving you a lifetime pass or what? any visiting rights?

when are you thinking of donating her? when she outgrows her current tank?

I'm hoping to get a free membership of some sort, or a few free tickets, at the very least.

Fluffy flies out to Shedd as soon as all the paperwork and transport details are completed. We're probably talking a month or two.

She'll still be my baby. She'll be in the best possible place in the entire universe for a lungfish, too. "Grand-dad," their other African lungfish, has been living there since 1933.

I'm turning the 180 into a South American tank, with my precious Pterygoplichthys scrophus (http://www.projectamazonas.com/Images/Flora&Fauna/FloraFaunaGalleries/fish/Pterygoplichthys%20scrophus%2001.jpg) as its likely centerpiece.

It is, indeed, a pleco.

Gah -- I just realized you used my real name in that comment. Could you kindly delete that and re-comment without using my real name? This entry is unfiltered, and I don't want to ruin my chances to become President someday.

Grand-dad is over 70. Fluffy's like, 3. I would never approve of the union.

I visited Grand-Dad about a month ago - he'll be happy to have a new friend. Weehoo.

They can't have her unless they keep the name.

That's awesome! You should have a little going away party for her. We'll all bring her snails :)
