Ill be there. I have not decided what I will bring yet - I was kinda waiting to see what is needed but so far not many responses. Maybe an appetizer type thing.

Yeah I have a few blues left in my farm tank but I want to get some more. As I said maybe I can get some reds from you at the Christmas party. I think you might be the only one who has a colony in the group.

I had the Blue shrimp from Nick in there. I know the reds are more tolerant but I did not want to try them. Now that I have the filter I think it may be worth a shot. The blues did great until the summer and they produces several broods in there while they were happy

I have not tried them but they might be good. I was thinking I might be able to try the red cherry shrimp in there.

After about an hour, three of the four read the same as each other and the same as my nice meat grilling thermometer. I figure that the probability of all four being incorrect at the same temperature was really low so I'm assuming that they are all reading correctly. Statistics was never my specialt...

Does anyone have a really good, accurate, aquarium thermometer then can recommend. I have been using the alcohol based bulb ones but a quick check has them all over the map. How hard is it to make centuries old technology accurate? Really wishing I had my old YSI instruments about now. I looked at a...

Anybody know anything about Micro Cyprinids such as Boraras brigittae or others?

Yeah I think you two are on to something. Looking back at my notes, the tank started out around 78 and then got a little warmer last summer as we keep the house warm. It then went back to the 78 or so. Crypts were great during this time. Around April I had an Ich outbreak and adjusted the tank for a...
