Hello Ruesday....

No. No swap for me on Sunday. I don't go to the Chicago swaps.
I did put one slate in a 2-1/2 gallon as I only have three jars and one was already occupied.  Never seemed to have much luck putting them in a 2-1/2 gallon, don't really know why.  They seem to just die off and slowly disappear.
Maybe I will take a couple Gallon jars at the Rockford swap in Sept. if I remember.

...have you got any small 'stick on the side' sponges?.....after a day. or so, of free swim I pop a cycled one in there....helps immensely...

No problem after they are free swimming. They usually go in a 2-1/2 after the Angels Plus hatching jar, sometimes after only a day or two.  It is getting them to the free swimming stage in the 2-1/2 that I seem to have the problems.  Maybe I just haven't tried hard enough. We will see how this batch goes.
