Susan:
Thank you for your entry. As I am not personally familiar with the fish you
posted could you please make an initial guess at class/points? (Guidelines
at http://www.gsas.org/Articles/bap.html) If anyone thinks a fish is in the
wrong class (or unlisted) feel free to comment. I will count your post as
the third received although it looks like Betty might relinquish her spot.
The bright red Ludwigia from the meeting is most likely L. palustris
(Kasselmann) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v711/blueram/redplant1.jpg
which will be part of that package with repens X arcuata (fine leaved red
tint) and palustris X repens ("normal" red tint). I am also offering Deb a
stem of Ammannia gracilis (African hydro) but would not be out of place in
the above package. Next HAP post (Anita might get first choice) gets the
above or the grasses of Vallisneria americana (jungle val), Sagittaria
subulata (dwarf sag my foot!), and Echinodorus tenellus (chain sword) and
what ever else I can find that is "grassy."
So even if one does not "win" one of the packages post anyways. My tank is
almost always full of clippings that are not good enough to sell but make
excellent starter cultures for a hobbyist. We have several great stores in
the area that do a great job selling plants and deserve our support so be
sure visit them too lest we have no more.
And since this is the post that never ends, I would like to than Steev for
the great newsletter that came today. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Deb!
Email me off list with tank specs and I will try to put together a
reasonable plant package of clippings.
This is up for debate, but I read your points as
Class A:
guppies - 5
swordtails - 5
Tanichthyes (White Clouds) - 5
Class B:
Angels - 10
Total - 25
This means you have reached the novice level and have an award coming to
you! Furthermore, the rules state "Points will be awarded only once for
each species or color form spawned." So if you can list the species or color
variant I will give move points. (ie golden angel, koi, blushing...)

I am still waiting for HAP/BAP posts to start rolling in... Next 2
people
to post win a large bag of clippings from my tanks!
-Paul
OK, Paul, I'll take you up on that (though currently my list is small, I
hope that will change soon!)
Class A:
Livebearers (guppies, swordtails) - 5
Tanichthyes (White Clouds) - 5
Class B:
Angels - 10
Total - 20
Now to figure out how to fit more tanks into my (small) bedroom so I can
try my hand at breeding different fish.
Hope to see you at the meeting next week!
Deb
