I'll be going to the store tomorrow.  I can't wait to try it.  And...I'm looking forward to eat what's left over.  Next year I'll grow some.

...The Bloody Mary shrimp tank is still producing...I'll bet, counting all the little ones as well, that I have 150-200 still...one of the females has just un-berried herself!...

...The blue shrimps are getting prolific now as well...in another month, I'll have to start thinning them out...

...I should have ordered my breeding stock of yellows by now, but have been little covered up with stuff...

...Liz, the yellows you got from your guy....are they true breeding?...

[LizStreithorst]

yes, they are.  He has some gold back yellows that are nice, too.

[Ron Sower]

yes, they are.  He has some gold back yellows that are nice, too.

...I will contact him and see what we can do...

[LizStreithorst]

Do me a little favor and let him know that I recommended him to you.

...absolutely! ...I always let people know who referred me to them....being in sales most of my life, I found that that is the best form of advertising and I value a customer referral like I would gold...!

Shrimp don't like cooked carrot. Their favorite food so far is the Nug Bomz that look like weed.

Thanks for letting me know, Barb.

...my blues and bloodies clean the Nug Bomz up like nobody's business...

My shrimp like the nug bombs and Hakari algae wafers best.  It's mostly the BN that devour blanched veggies.

I found shrimp shrimp disease chart on FB.

I have learned over the years with Discus that some parasites and viruses come from Asian imports.  When I buy shrimp I like buying from domestic breeders.

...my local shrimp guru said exactly the. Same thing!...he always buys US grown...

I gave my shrimp Shrimp King complete and they loved it. I was becoming concerned about the yellow because they didn't appear to be eating and I lost 3 of them. Well they stayed on that one pellet and devoured it to my satisfaction. I am now waiting for my Nug Bomz. The package is in the mail and I am expecting it  tomorrow.

[Ron Sower]

...sorry about the shrimp loss, Willie....did you get the Nug Bomz yet?...my guys devour it...
...I ordered some yellows from Erik Lucas and he'll ship Saturday to arrive Monday....really excited to get them...
...I bought the rack for the shrimp tanks today at Homely Despot...trading a fellow board member 25 Bloody Marys for a 5g tank and light tomorrow morning...

...I'll be putting the rack together this weekend and moving the tanks onto it....
