May Meeting

[sns26]

I'm a new member and I'm going to try to come to this meeting--I am looking for some new plants to try in my 20H (currently in need of some work http://gwapa.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3800). I'd be happy to try just about anything. And if anyone wants cabomba or ludwigia repens, which I recognize are pretty commonplace, I'd be happy to bring some. They grow like weeds for me.

Bring what you have. Sometimes the common plants are what people are looking for. You never know...

I'll pull some of these from my tanks:

Alternanthera reineckii
Fissidens fontanus
Ludwigia arcuata
Ludwigia x lacustrus
Rotala sp. Mini type I

I can bring a group of each of these critters:
Caridina cantonensis sp. "Orange Eye Blue Tiger shrimp"
Cambarellus shufeldtii "Dwarf Cajun crayfish"

I forgot to ask. Can the GWAPA Powers That Be bring some more plant bags for me to purchase?

Thanks,
Doug

Doug, we'll have as many bags as you want.

Also, if anyone wants a 20L or 10G aquarium, I have one of each that I'd like to sell. The 20L comes with glass top and Soil Master Select Substrate if you want it. I'll take whatever you want to offer.

Awesome meeting; great talk, Ghazanfar. I was really shocked at the degree to which you could just mow down plants, and I have to admit I'm nervous to try it, but I have a number of tanks that need a trimming, so maybe I'll give it a try.

[Rick Dotson]

Kris thanks for hosting. Your Kribs looked great with all of the little babies.

Nice talk & presentation GG. Maybe one day I will be able to brutally trim my plants but it still seems like murder to me.

Mary's and my shrimp and plants are settling in nicely so thanks to all the people who brought auction items.

Good seeing you all. Till next time.

This was another awesome meeting! I'm learning so much from all of you. Seems like everything I've done so far to my 40Br has been all wrong...LOL! Now to correct all of my mistakes. Maybe now I can get some bushier plants, now that I've learned how to trim my stem plants, instead of the really sad, leggy looking plants that I have.

Thanks for the great presentation Ghazanfar! I didn't know that you had a hidden hair dresser in you.

Kris, you're tanks and backyard look fantastic! I'm going to have to plant some okra next year and use them for gumbo and some dirty rice, as well as some Filipino dishes (believe it or not, but okra is popular in some Filipino dishes). I'm in love with your new bookshelf tank. It's beautiful and now I want one!

Anyway, it was great seeing everyone again.
