Mugwump's Fish World

Good afternoon everyone. It is a cool (was cold) and sunny afternoon here and it feels good as long as you are on the sunny side of the street.

Not much going on here so I am doing some touchups on a few of my tanks. Just basic stuff like algae removal and diatoming where needed. I did big water changes yesterday on all of them

Hope everyone is having a great day.

Hi Willie, and everyone else.  The weather here is identical to yours.  I did a couple of dogs this morning then blew the leaves in the front yard.  My sweet neighbor gave me his electric leaf blower!  He bought a gas powered one because he got tired of messing with the cord. I'll tell you what, blowing beats the heck out of raking.  I'm going to plant some garlic in the herb garden and after all nothing much is planned other than laundry. 

I bought some Bloody Mary shrimp on AB to add to my stock because mine have stopped breeding and I hoped that an unrelated strain might get them going like they once were.  I'm very disappointed in the shrimp.  They are all small juveniles and their color is not nearly as good as my shrimp.  They are almost orange.  The seller had all good feedback.  I haven't decide whether I'll pursue it with the seller or just blow it off.

...that's a tough call, Liz....I've culled some of my young bloodies, put them in another tank and a week later they've developed their color!...

...Traded some shrimp this morning....strengthened my orange colony...

...played cards this afternoon...back was hurting so I had some of my special gummies and that helped a lot...I could smile thru it...! |^|

I guess I'll just wait and hope for the best.  I don't want to create a fuss over a few shrimp whether or not they color up.
