Paul, this sounds great. Thanks for taking the time to put this little agenda together. To me the idea to put a little tank with shrimp up sounds wonderful, and having it be a door prize/auction entry would go over very well in my opinion. Let me know if I can help with this in any way. Getting a bunch of shrimp from Jimmy sounds also good. Do we have email contact info for him to let him know?? Otherwise I want to try and find his store (again) and can ask him at that time or if someone else is going that way .... Does "Ken" know yet about his role on this panel?? Thank you again, Paul, Christine From: pwallace@u.washington.edu To: gsas-board@thekrib.com Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2009 13:13:55 -0700 Subject: Re: [GSAS-board] shrimp $ 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.
