Hey Ron and everyone. It's been a cold and misty/cloudy day here with the temp at 36 degrees which will be our high temp.

I took advantage of our lousy temps to get my water changes in and do some fishroom work. While working on that I noticed that I have plat angel wigglers in the 2.5 gallon tank.

None of these are albino which makes for a much higher survival rate for me. I also have another spawn of black rams from the same pair that originally spawned. Maybe this time I can raise a few.

Have a great day everyone.

Hi friends.  Sorry I missed yesterday.  I sent of 24 juvie PBRs yesterday.  They're going to Wisconsin where it's around 10 degrees.  There are 2 heat packs in the box so if they arrive by Thursday they will be fine.  A day later and they will freeze.  I've decide to ship express only in the winter.  The Postal Service has been less reliable lately.

A girl from Hattiesburg is coming to look at my Discus and perhaps buy 4 juvies from me.  I'll toss in a couple of guys who haven't grown as fast as the others so that she'll have 6 total.  Discus do better in groups of 6 or more.

I gave my kitchen a good deep clean this morning and re-arrange some things to make it look more pleasing to my eye.  Did gave the floor a good mopping.  It's been drizzly on and off for the past couple of days and the dogs have been tracking in their wet dirty paws.

Tonight or earlier if I can catch her I'm going to put Miss Chickie in the Chicken house.  I hate to do it, but she's really not an affectionate pet and she shits everywhere.

I've been waiting for a box from Brine Shrimp Direct and another box of sponges from an Amazon vendor for over 10 days and they are both delayed in the mail. huh
