So, I was cleaning out peafowl eggs for art/painting and I accidentally cracked the bottom of one irreparably. I sometimes will clean and dry some shell to put into the shrimp/snail tank (the snails need calcium to make their shells strong), so I figured heck. I cracked the bottom a little wider so I could clean the whole inside, and put it in there for them. Enrichment!
Well, Wolfe, my longfin bristlenose pleco, has decided it's For Her*, which comes with the hilarious side effect of making this eggshell look like it's hatching into some small eldritch horror, an effect not lessened by the fact that when she moves, her tail twitches and the shell wobbles, OR by the fact that she lives in my Eldritch Horrors tank.
She is such a delight.
((*before you worry, yes she can get out, I have watched her wiggle in and out a few times now, she just likes it in there. Plecos are made for getting into tiny spaces and backing out again, including in rough/sharp environments))
