Re: [GSAS-Member] Free fish, plants etc.

Hello all,

I just talked to Bob and I am going to go up there Monday evening. The 
big piece of driftwood lured me in, but I am going to take a cooler and 
grab all his plants and bring them back to my place in Kirkland so they 
are easy pickings for everyone else. I was thinking about leaving a tub 
outside my front door so you can come help yourself. (I've done that 
before and the plants seemed to do OK for a few days.)

I probably won't be able to resist adopting some cories but I can't 
accommodate all Bob's livestock. However, if you have specific requests, 
I can bring back fish. You'd need to pick them up Monday night, or 
Tuesday night at the latest... I can set up a couple of unfiltered tubs 
for Tuesday night pickups but I'd prefer not to.

So, if you want fish to come back with me, email Bob and CC me. Make 
sure you include a phone number so I can keep in touch when I am on the 
way back with livestock.

I'll post again when I am back with plants.
