Marlene and I just got back from a week of CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) log cabin camping in Western PA to find while we were sweltering in the 100 plus heat we had cooked most of the fish in the 110. We didn't turn on the a/c since the forecast wasn't supposed to be that hot and the tank was almost 100' the day we got back. Goo obos all gone, Apistos all gone but one which got really screwed up and I'll have to euthanize, Farowellas gone. Everything died except the Cories, 2 cardinals, and a Black Molly used to eat the bio-film on the surface). I think it was more asphyxiation than the heat.

So, since I no longer have any predators in the tank, I want some shrimp again.

Cheers.

That 'accident' sounds suspiciously planned. No mourning for the dead - just a 'show me the shrimp baby!'.

Nope, no mourning. I was starting to get tired of who I had in there and none of the shops around here will take unusual livestock in trade. They only want bread-and-butter fish. Although they are all about my "Endler Guppies". (Sigh)

Belay the request for the shrimp for this meeting. Housework has piled up because I was away and I probably won't be able to make the meeting.

Cheers.
Jim

Unfortunately I will not be able to get off this Saturday from work to come to the meeting. Arlene and Ghazanfar will be there to run the show, and I expect it will run smooth as usual. I will be with you all in spirit though! (This working weekends stuff is for the birds)

I will be sending some plants for the auction with Arlene. Yet TBD what gets bagged, but I'm for sure sending some purple bamboo amongst other more common items.

Have fun!!

I've got a little of that flame moss stuff. Might be willing to part with a little.

Can someone pick up a bag of ice on the way? There's a Bottom Dollar store on the way here - on 197, on the right just after you get off of the BW Parkway - maybe 5 min. from my house. I made 2 store runs today and don't feel like going again!

I'll pick up some ice.

I'm looking for HC if anyone has any.
