You are correct. Swap day= good time. I'm ready.
120 bags loaded. Booomba. ;D
We want to hear and see all about it guys. I will be checking back here later. Wish I had a swap to go to. We have very warm weather here but you guys up in the frozen north have swaps.

It's the same here, Barb. fish swap? What's a fish swap. Ain't no such thing where I live. I wouldn't give up the warm weather for fish swaps, though. Shame that the thought of shipping leaves me cold, too.
That was a great swap. Best one yet. Sold out and gave some to friends. Yay!!!!. Now I go sleepy. I'm exhausted.

LOL That's the only drawback to the swaps..... if you've got alot of fish to bag, you need to get up in the wee hours to get started. Good to hear you had fun and sold lots of fish!

Whew, back from the swap here too....what a good time..and thanks Frank for the veil 'het' collage ;D..just what I needed to match up with the others....super nice of you...thanks again
We sold out too...but as always....hehe...we picked up a few things...
An Amazon sword mother plant that just fits a 50 gal tall, and still spreads out to cover most the surface,,,ahem, with babies....it's a good find...yep...sshhhh...only $25... ;D
(9) water sprite plants, over a foot tall....3/$5....
(5) super red plecos... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ..$25
(1) rosy red betta...my birthday present for next week from my lovely bride... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
'Grasshopper' (Melanie..aka Owl) gave us a bag of (5) Kribs...very nice.. ;D ;D ;D
(20) assasin snails....I traded some fry for......
and the nice part... ;D..I now have three 55's that I can use to split up the black spawn, and Sta Isabel/Rio negro spawn into for better grow out.... 8)
grabbed some of Capt'n Bob's great frenzy, Capt'n crunch, and flake foods...
I'm likely forgetting something tho.....???
It's so great to see all our friends, and fellow breeders again....Scott, Dan, Frank and his wonderful wife, Jerry, Steve, John, Marc, etal...
Da 'mama' sword plant...
Oh man I missed that.
Yep that was a fun swap. I got my male L201 and he's a good inch longer than the females. I hope he likes his ladies. I also stocked up on caption bob's fish food. I should be good until the next swap.
Thanks Caption Bob for letting me try the Capt'n crunch. I feed the pleco fry the #1 and they all came out to get there share. Now I need to get them into a bigger grow out tank. Also want to thank Frank. The angels are settling down nicely in there new home. Jon Your sword plant is huge. what a good find.
It makes me happy to know that everyone did good at the swap. The next GCCA swap I should have enough to be a Vendor. I think Dan is working on some jewel hybrid cichlids. And he might have some frontosa fry ready too.
Had a great time here too! Thanks for letting me use your table Jon! I should post pictures of the new koi angel ( albert ) i got. He's stunning! ( thanks again jon!!!)

It's loaded with runners, but some are more like buds, no real roots yet...we'll see, swords don't like to be moved around much....
Do you trim roots when you transplant? I've been doing it because that's what my Mom taught me in transplanting flower in pots and the garden. I believe that it stimulates quicker root growth. BUT I don't have any scientific backing on that.
Yes, a little...mostly just pull/cut the loose roots,etc...to allow the healthy roots to take hold quicker..
