What a madhouse. Wall to wall people.  Tons of fish and equipment.  Lots of friends and loads of fun. I'm going to miss these swaps greatly.  Hopefully someone took some pictures. Oh and I took Jon's last brownie.  Sorry guys.

I was scared to pull out my phone and take pics with so many people. I didn't want to drop it and someone step on it. it was crazy nuts there today. It was great to see all my friends and say good bye to Willie. I also got a lot of great new stuff.
I got four neolamprologus multifasciatus from John Hoernig. I met him a few years ago at one of the swaps interesting guy. He has a little of everything. He sold them to me at a price I couldn't say no too. I got them in a new set up and got escargot shell for them. When I got them out of there bag the went into the shells and haven't came out much. poor things must be scary for them. 



I picked up a breeding colony of long fin cories, The guy said that they just spawned a few days ago. I'm going to try and breed them. I was thinking of putting them in with the guppies after the Q.T. time. I'm not sure if the guppies will eat the eggs.

I also got a few plants from Mark, He had some of the better plants at the swap.
Melon Sword, planted in Capt'n Bob's substrate with some rocket fuel.

Vesuvius Sword, the little plant under the sword is the other Vesuvius sword I got from Mark a few months ago. 

This pic has some older and new plants. the new ones, Flame sword, broad leaf ludwigia. the older ones, Hygrophila polysperma, anubis nana, and another flame sword that the angels beat up cleaning it.

last one is a pic of my planted tank with all the plants.

Oh by the way, there is a wild blooded pleco daddy on eggs in the cave.

[Mugwump]

The tanks look nice Scott, good job scaping them. It must be BN season....We've got three in caves at the moment.

[PaulineMi]

Your tank looks really nice Scott.

[b125killer]

Thanks Jon and Pauline, This is the second batch of fry from that BN pair in less then a month. They sure do like playing in the plants.

[Frank The Plumber]

tank looks great

[ilroost]

Scott, you need anymore shells? I have at least 200 of them. They came with a box of misc. i bought at the last auction

[Mugwump]

How's that new filter set up working?....water appear more sparkly?

[b125killer]

Thanks guys, Im really happy with how well the planted tank  is doing. I think I should be ok on shells for now. But I'll keep you in mind if I need more. I have two dozen in there with 4 fish. I'm thinking they should be able to find there own space. 
Today was the first water change with the filtered water. And wouldn't you know it koi pair number 3 spawned last night or this morning. I was waiting on them for ever it was the first pair I pulled out and the last to spawn. I was almost thinking that I was wrong.  And they weren't a boy and girl. I'm not holding out hope with this spawn.  I wish they would of waited for a few water changes with the filtered water.
