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.

I second the notion to buy some shrimp
if Jimmy can do it that's great

$20-50
I assume Susan and Cliff etc will be selling theirs too
