Hi Betty:
I just emailed Paul about the logs to see if he wanted them. Did you give
me
the ten dollars? Someone forgot to pay me, I think it was Monica, but I
just
want to double-check.
Beware of angel fish. They ate all the ones Sandu bought from me.

Yes, I'd love to buy these off someone! Since I don't go to auction,
I'd really like to buy stuff like this and know that some percentage
goes back to the club. Of however we want to work this....I have a
couple really short ceramic logs too but the longer one with several
entrance holes is really popular with my fishes!
I won't be going to the auction meetings, cuz I just can't be tempted
with new stuff right now with no place to put it! So, I think I'll be
skipping the February meeting. However, March is a go! Right?!? It's a
non-auction meeting if I'm not mistaken (wink).
The baby shrimp seem to be doing fine here in a little grow-out tank I
jury rigged at work. It's warmer here than at home, and that may be an
important variable. I have a 2.5 gallon acrylic tank with a compact
flourescent over it and I packed it full of thread algae infested java
moss. Sounds like a shrimp motel to me! After they get large enough to
avoid the fish-food category for small-medium sized fish, I have 4
tanks at work that are waiting!
