Oh, it's nothing super rare, it's just one he doesn't happen to have. I got it from Cavan when we met up about a month ago. I think it's called wendtii x hybrid. It's got bright green leaves and stays really low, like 2" tall. It could make a good forground plant if you have the patience for it to spread.

The snails have arrived, but you have to go to the end of the line for having a bad attitude. :wink: I'm a bureaucrat, I'll show you what a snails' pace really is. :lol:

If you've got bait, I've got wasabi!

I wish I could be like Mr. Sarcastic when I grow up! ;)

:oops: Didn't mean to be rude, Sean. Very sorry.
I probably wouldn't be able to swing by this weekend due to a death in the family.

Will do.
Is everyone coming by this weekend?
When is the GWAPA "field trip"?
Also, there will be a seminar on Killifish this weekend at Jim's store and next weekend is the American Killifish Association convention at the Doubletree hotel in Rockville if anyone is interested.

They have been leaving eggs on my anubias leaves every day. The green leaves have these little whitish dots on them which looks better than the spot algae that used to be on them. I like to think of it as a good trade off. :) Also see the eggs on the glass from time to time.

None of the tetra's or shrimp in thing in the tank seems to be eating the eggs.
