Dear Board, I have a windfall of a couple of minutes here and would like to
put my ideas of for comments. Please feel free to disagree or comment; ·
I see 4 speakers (KEN, Shango, Jimmy, and ?) ·
Each speaker has a 5-10 slide talk to introduce a topic o Intro
to shrimp (Ken?) § Requirements
(temp, pH, hardness, min tank size…) § Feeding § Breeding o Setting
up a shrimp tank (Shango of ?) § Picture
of a shrimp tank that shows relevant parts like substrate, role of cover,
airstone? o Personal
observations (Shango of ?) § Someone
that likes to take pictures and can share a few “special moments” o Common
Shrimp types (Jimmy) § Ie these
are the shrimp Jimmy brought. ·
3 mics in total with one for the Mod, One for the speakers, and
one for Q’s. In thinking how I can contribute, I have a pair of 5.5 gal tanks
taking up space for a project I will likely never do. I could bring a tank,
light, plants, and substrate to the meeting and set them up with aged water. The
tanks could sit on the speaker table and serve as a reference. I would also
like to have live shrimp in them to give an example. Afterwards the tank and
all could go into a door prize or auction or the shrimp could be sold out separately..
I would like to restart the “fish of the month” program with $30-50
in shrimp to Jimmy but I also appreciate Shango’s comments on common vs.
odd shrimp and the price gap of commercial vs. hobby. I can pull (and
attribute) shrimp pictures to project behind Jimmy if he would like. I am
but one vote on the board though. So what do you think? -Paul From:

Behalf Of Shango Los I dont really have anything to say unfortunately. I
don't pay much attention to my tank chemistry. I just get really lucky
because shrimp love all the moss I have and go nuts. That and I
discovered cuttlefish bone. That is the extent of what I have to share.
If I had any expertise, I'd be glad to share but alas I just ignore them
and they populate. On Oct 27, 2009, at 10:40 PM, Christine Ranegger wrote:
