Fret not... I do not offend very easily. Besides it was Monday. AS for the BBS, I have taken to hatching alternating jars on alternating days and it seems to be working fine for me. I find that I can feed from one batch for approx 36 hours. Should I have any concerns about keeping the batch for more than 24 hours. I am heating the jars with an incandescent light. The brew seems to be keeping a temp of 78-80º F. I have not noticed any hydra or white worms sprouting in my tank. I have read (here) that some people suffer outbreaks of hydra. So you know, I am feeding the fry in the 55g community tank with pencilfish, the A. caca harem (1M, 2F - includes mother) a couple of banjo cats (Bunocephalus bicolor) and a Pl*co.
