It is apparently the "busy" season

[Longshot]

...because all my paired aquatic critters are gettin' busy.

Most noticeable is my snail population. I have at least 3 different species at the moment and working on a fourth.
The ones pictured are all captive bred offspring.

I thought this one was just funny, it is one of the adults.

As you can see, they are pretty big.

Getting snail offspring to survive has been a real task with ghost shrimp in one tank and a bluegill sunfish in the other (both are snail predators in my tanks).

Next, my mosquito fish and fancy guppies. I'm sure everyone has seen guppy fry so I wont put a picture up of them.

Next, and I just found them yesterday, are my convict cichlids.

It's busy in my tank too. I have 3 pairs of hrp and 2 pairs of marbled cons that produce fry like crazy. My pair of kribs just spawned too.

Cool, the apple snail program started as food for my bluegill but just haven't built up a population that could support a sustainable harvest. That point should be coming soon now that I am slowly introducing them to my 50 gallon pond sump. I'm toying with the idea of getting an assassin snail just because all of the ones I see look really cool.

I forgot to add that I've also gotten blood worms going to feed my minnows and log perch. That is another program that is just now getting up to speed.

LOL

Just finished installing a water trough float so my water chemistry shouldn't have to take the daily 5 gallon of chlorinated water hit to top off from evaporation and animals drinking from the sump.
