lol it works for me .. but what happened with your "failed" attempt?

 

[CaddyLac]

I had a nice time, big ups to Ira for being a great host!

Everytime I go to Ira's it makes me wanna upgrade to a bigger tank so I can house his great fish.. ahh it never ends!

by the time I next write I expect my new Amphilophus Sagittae pair to have spawned. They've built their nest(s)- a few locations are done. They've relegated 5 pounds worth of Oscars into 20 g of the tank with the other 190g of tank allocated for their "living space." It's always amusing to see smaller fish trying to spawn bullying fish literally more than twice their size. Looks like egg tube's descending.... can't be long now. Stay tuned. Or just show up at the next meeting for fry/growouts provided they stay out of the 20g Oscar occupied East bank.

 

[FishPrincess]

Congrats Karl on your expected fry. The JD's have made a home. their officially paired up and its now a wait and see...lol

I drove from MA and visited Ira earlier in the day and picked up a pair of Pink Fenestratus, pair of Rio Sarstoon synspilum, and a pair of dovii. I had to drive back to MA to pick up a friend, drop off my fish at home and drive back to Manchester CT for the NECA meeting which hosted Ted Judy giving a talk on his trip to Cameroon. It was a good fish day, Ted gave a great talk, and I got some awesome fish from Ira (as usual). Thanks my friend for taking care of me, and I am really loving those Pink Fenestratus!
