Wow, I thought Dr Kallman was younger than 78 (or close to).  A life
surrounded by fish must be good for you :)

And yes, thank you so much for the plants and fish.  You guys are great.  My
tanks are filling out with the new cuttings and my fish love it!  My two
little Endler's are just as happy as can be.  They're very cute to watch.
Holy, I just looked and the female has given birth!  I see 5 little fry.  I
wonder if that's all there are.  How many do they typically have?  Are
Hikari First Bites sufficient for the babies?  Haha, how fun.

I didn't get to bed until midnight after the meeting on Tuesday.  I was busy
setting up tanks for the Endler's and shellies.  I also apparently need
check valves for my air pumps.  I turned one off before the meeting and came
home to 5g of water drained from my 15g that sits on my desk.  Water was all
over my office floor.  Oh boy...  Can you tell I've never really used air
pumps before?

And for those who were wondering what was in the shells in our bucket, here
is a link about them:

They are just the cutest little blue-eyed buggers.  All 5 adults and 2
juvies made it.  The one small fry seems to have disappeared somewhere in
the transfer.  And one adult is hanging around the top corner, which is very
odd.  However he doesn't appear ill so I'm not sure what to do to appease
him.

I want to thank the group for bringing Dr. Kallman in to speak. I found it
very entertaining and educational. Swordtails and Platies have always been
some of my favorite fish. I found the information about location more than
habitat for distribution quite interesting.

 I did a bit of searching for more information and found an article on Dr.
Kallman and his work:

and here is the home link to the Xiphophorus Stock Center:

 Also, thanks to all of you who brought plants/fish to share. My tanks and I
greatly appreciate it.

Looking forward to next month!
