mike... ill let you make the final call on the names since they're going in your zoa database. i can give you the rest of the info needed for the database since ive been growing each of them for a while.

1) a picture of the zoo.
2) the name or names that the zoo is known by.
3) how fast the zoo grows.
4) your name or screen name is fine
5) any information you want to add about that species of zoo.
Picture 1
1) you have the picture...
2) you finalize the name...(fire and ice or grateful deads)
3) moderate
4) mkzimms
5) extremely bright colors and they never close up. for some reason my hermits never go near them despite trampling over everything else in my tank. the hermits will actually walk around them.
Picture 2
1) you have the picture...
2) you finalize the name... (star of sirius or pretty penny)
3) fast
4) mkzimms
5) they grow very clumped together and do not mat out. i currently have 3 large dome shaped clumps of them despite more than adequate room to spread.
Picture 4
1) you have the picture...
2) you finalize the name... (wham'n watermelon or dragon eyes)
3) slow
4) mkzimms
5) they seem to do better when grown mid water under my PC. the rate of growth radically diminished the closer i moved them to the light source.
