Mugs is back

[Ron Sower]

Sure can tell when a swap is going on anywhere near you guys.  Missed you on here today!  Go to see you're back.  How was the  swap?

[Mugwump]

Not bad, not good either...still a nice day with fish folks. Capt'n  Bob's wife, and daughter, showed up with a birthday cake for Bob (59).....Scott .and crew, had the table next to us, so we gabbed all day

I sure do envy you yankees.  I only get to meet up with my fish friends every two years at NADA.  I make the best of the time.  I get little sleep during those three days.

It was a busy day. I sold some plecos, not to many angels. It was slow at the swap. Good thing there were lots of great friends there. I didn't get a tank cleared out for the Plats. looks like they'll have to share a tank for now. I did get them moved to the 90g there's just more fish in there than I would like. I replaced all the water I took out of the tanks, Then crashed in my chair watching the fish do there thing. Looks like I'm going to be posting on craigslist next week. I need to make room for the next batch of angels. I'm also curious about some of the fry from the chocolate blues. I showed them to Jon he said they look like chocolate paraiba. I have alot of them and want to grow them out.

Count your blessings.  I can't buy or sell fish until May.  I've had an intractable disease issue that the Angels are resistant to but not immune to.  I got it from fish I won from John's Discus.  All I can do until May is breed, cull and select.  After 6  months of large daily WC I will hold my breath and and order another group of Discus.  I will pray that my existing fish don't make the clean fish sick.

My Angels are my only bright light.  I have a project going on with them.  My Discus depress me except for my little darlins.

I have a new pair of Smokey Paraiba that should throw some Chocolate Paraiba.  That's one I'm anxious to see.

Sorry to hear about that Liz. Best of luck with it. It is strange to see that your angels are your only bright light. but they are some beauties. Your Discus are awesome too.

I can't wait to see how the Chocolate Paraiba will turn out. There still small dime size. I was looking at some pics of what they might look like. It makes it harder to wait.

At the end of 6 months I will have a group of killer Half Black/Pearl Scales.  I will test them with clean fish before I offer any for sale.  My fish must be clean.  Nobody except perhaps "my best friend" deserves to go through what I have been through.  I believe that my Angels are already pretty good.  I get 6 whole months to make them better.

I prefer lemonade to lemons.

Well this new pair of Smokey Paraiba spawned for me morning.  I hope the male did his job.  I've been waiting for this spawn for a while.  I just moved them into a divided 55 gallon on Saturday after I made room in the tank.

Wonderful....good luck

What a bummer. Out of over 200 eggs there are about a dozen wigglers.  The rest of the eggs are white. Oh well, hopefully the male will do a better job of covering the eggs next time.    

[LizStreithorst]

Sorry.  I feel your pain. I just had a spawn from a couple of first timers.  Most all of the eggs are white.  Dad had the want to but not the ability.  They'll spawn again soon enough.

You're right Liz, there will be a next time soon enough.  Dad just needs a little more practice time. LOL
