Ok. Even though I don't see myself as an expert by ANY means because I don't
know aquarium chemistry stuff at all,
I do know know the stuff below. The knowledge that Paul has ascribed to me
below are totally things I do know and I
do have things to mention like contrasting the substrate color to the shrimp so
you can see them, the kinds of
hiding places they prefer and kinds of plants they most enjoy, activity that shows
health and lack of health. etc.
I could do this well if they Board chooses to proceed in this direction. I
could take pics of my mosses and plants
as examples too because I already have the tanks.

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?

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.

Cliff?? Anyone else who has

I second the notion to buy some shrimp
if Jimmy can do it that's great
otherwise Kevin?
$20-50
I assume Susan and Cliff etc will be selling theirs too
and
any ideas for dinner?
