Hey folks! I recognize at least a couple names here. AuntieFran (in
Marysville) and I have chatted via Uniquaria before and I've got a
thriving colony of Endler's livebearers thanks to Bob Thomas!

Anyway, I finally joined. Just got my membership stuff yesterday. I've
kept freshwater tanks since I was in grade school off-and-on, so that goes
back quite a few decades. Right now I'm staying small cuz I don't have
room for large tanks. Besides the species tank of Endler's, I'm trying to
spawn some wild-type Colisa chuna right now. Live cultures of daphnia and
mosquito larvae should help do the trick soon! I'm also gearing up in an
attempt to spawn threadfin rainbowfish. I'd also like to find some female
'scarlet Badis' as I have a species tank which appears to be all male (6
specimens from Blue Sierra). I'm also interested in trying out some
blue-eyes (depends on which species I can find). I should probably stick
with one new kind of fry to raise at a time (sigh). I have a Rubbermaid
bin full of white cloud mountain minnow adults/fry even as we speak <G>.

I'm also a big Botia fan....and have a colony of Botia sidthimunki and
another of Botia striata. I keep filling them with live foods several
times a week and we'll see if something ever happens fry-wise (shrug).

If anyone ever wants a starter culture of Daphnia, I'm thinking I should
be establishing some colonies of microworms for my soon-to-exist fry
(fingers crossed). Love to trade!
