Larry, I'd love to stop by your place sometime to check out your set-up. would that ever be a possibility?

Snitch, be careful. Some strange things often happen in the deep woods. LOL!

Joe, I grew up in the woods much deeper than Larry's.

You know you can come by.

Dont worry about that guy plaing the banjo down by the crick

Larry, I didn't know you had musical talent. LOL!

Water changes on all tanks today. Three hours later the foam pads on the Aquaclear 50 in the 20G ABN fry tank popped up and pumped about four gallons of water onto the floor. I heard of this happening, but this is a first time for me. No harm done, but it could have been worse.

Sold some Multie fry and two adult Cyp's to some folks who drove up from Rochester and got 30 wigglers from one of my Msobo deep females.

Netted and bunch of fish to be sold /traded, what Afreakin pain

Yesterday I did water changes on most of my tanks. I also went to Atlantis. They got in a wild caught Malawi shipment. I wish I had more money to pick up a couple more colonies of fish.

planning water changes on all the tanks this morning....gonna wait a week or 12 days more before i grab the 4 holding yellow labs, the red, zebra and the auratus female from the main tank...the 30 yelloy fry are growing nicely about a 1/2 inch now...got a few takers at work, plus my work tank needs some yellow in it...
saulosi colony i got lfd is growing nicely... at this time it looks like 4 males out of the 15 i got...may take 2 males out and trade them anyone need a cpl of males coloring up nicely...

also think i am going to break down my 405 on the 90g for a cleaning today...been a long time using sponges on the intake to keep the bulk out of the can...if i use sponges on the outside...and remove the sponges inside... and fill all the baskets with bio media... that should minimize the times you have to break it down right... what you think about that... i use hob's for particulate...any ideas maybe sponges on all intakes to minimize crud...

Did waterchanges on the following:
Telmatochromis vittatus
Synodontis lucipinnis
Synodontis multipunctatus
Pseudotropheus saulosi
Protomelas taeniolatus
Neolamprologus nigriventris
Neolamprologus cylindricus

Let's go people, you all have to have something going on in the tanks.

With the birth of my little girl last week the fish were pretty much left be other than feedings. This past Saturday I got around to doing WCs on the three tanks. Looks like the ABNs had another batch of fry.

Ok ill speak up...did WC on all 4 tanks yesterday....picked up 5 demasoni from angel in nyc...already started breeding in my 90 soo them doing the love dance yesterday... trying to decide what to do with my 3 red zebras the male has been hyper aggressive lately...both females were holding rocks...not babies...have more yellow fems holding...lost a mbenji yesterday... weird saw him sitting in the bottom of the 90 gasping not moving...scopped him up moved him to the 30 maternity tank for a change of scenery and 20 min later done....no visible signs belly seemed a bit whitish maybe bloat or something...depending on aggression today may let the 90 go without food today... or feed some romaine to clear out their systems...

30 or so yellow fry growing nicely about 3/4 of an inch now... 12 more in net breeder...gonna put in the 20 with the juvis in a day or two....

thats all for now...

hope the little one is doing well snitch...

Moved another 19 bags of fish out to the auction yesterday.Now with the fish I move out at the nec at the end of the month I should finally have enough room to do the big rearranging project Ive been planning.

Fed everyone blackworms last night,got a good deal on what had to be over a half pound of worms at the auction yesterday.
