What Meeting Topics Do You Want To Hear?
Plus I seem to have come by some new goodies (another story, not for publication) - talk about adding insult to injury - they are in QT ATM, not in the circulating range. We can push that time down for someone to rescue, but one I really want to try myself, another is a maybe - pending those who know IDing what I got.
Where's the fish? Neptune
Bottle some BGA for the meeting so everyone can get a good whiff of how it smellsRTRJR wrote:Additional potential topic: Algae ID for the unwary and/or inexperienced. I have perhaps the "best" collection of algae I have ever had in the system right now (product of months of neglect). So, anyone who does not know BBA, a variety of hair algaes, both green spot and soft green glass algae, who knows what else - I have not seen BGA or staghorn, but better eyes may well spot either. They are unlikely to go away before the meeting.
Stinky!Wish I had time to go to this. I have some really wicked hair algae in my Melanotaenia parva fry tank. Covers almost the entire bottom of the tank and is about 2" high. Awesome!
Question -- do we ever have fish auctions? I have a tank fully of parva fry I wanted GWAPA members to get first dibs on when they are ready to go in month or two.

Ooo, yer local, too! Cool. Give them another month to mature. They're about 7-8 weeks old (hatched around 6/21) and most are over 1". Some are showing reddish on the fins, too.Ltrepeter2000 wrote:Eileen

Thanks

Roan;
Do you have any Melanotaenia praecox per chance? I've always had a thing for the smaller species.
Oh, BTB, Marlene and I are going to Maine in a couple of weeks and I'm trying to convince her to make a run into New Brunswick for a day (really shouldn't be too hard). Any goodies from home you might be interested in?
Cheers.

DJ - I am infested with M. praecox - the emerse vggie filter housing the Crinums had some fry washed down into it, and now they are breeding there - not a good thing as they are all but un-nettable. Currently I take the overflow sponge out and let the fruy go to the palembang puffer's tank as snack food. During the clean-out they are being evicted from that tank.

That's one I don't have. THe smallest bows I have are Pseudomugil gertrudae and Pseudomugil cyanodorsalis, which is one of the two blue eye high-end brackish bows. RTR has tons re: his message below.DelawareJim wrote:Roan;

Oh, NB! Kippers! I'll even get my husband to drive me over and get them from you! Stink up da house! They freeze okay, right?Oh, BTB, Marlene and I are going to Maine in a couple of weeks and I'm trying to convince her to make a run into New Brunswick for a day (really shouldn't be too hard).
