Title: Good Afternoon Tuesday
Post by: wsantia1 on September 22, 2020, 12:11:17 PM
Hey everyone. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. Great day here with temps at our high of 72 degrees with plenty of sun and a little breeze.

Just got back in the house from a little food shopping since I have some company coming in for the weekend.

While I was out I picked up a little 3.5 gallon tank setup from Petsmart that I saw on one of the shrimp sites on facebook. It was 19 bucks on sale and comes with programmable LED lighting, a filter and a lid.

It looks promising for shrimp or nano fish. I may keep this one in my living quarters on the main floor.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Hi Willie, I have 2 of those little tanks, they are great!  My mom even has one with a few Endlers in it.  You will like it.  I find that the best color is the clear one, the red, green or blue are kind of strange looking.  And you can grow a few low light plants in there like I do.  Mainly Anubias and Java Moss.  Plus a nice rock and gravel.  Let us know how you like it.  Our weather here is just like yours today!

Hi Barb. Thanks for the feedback. I thought I was getting a good deal when I saw it and then ordered it, now I know I am. |^| |^| |^| |^| |^|

...hi guys and gals... stayed busy today working on the dragonstone project...this one I'm naming Box Canyon...sent pics to the young lady and she loves it so far...asked if I could add one more thing to it...no problem... so now I need to clean up the excess cured glues and epoxies with the Dremel...It is an articulated feature, so she can link the 4 sections together or separate them in any way she sees fit...

...got a call from new friends in the park here and we went up to a nice second hand store and lunch...then came back and continued to work on it...I'm loving it!...

...Decided I'm going back in time and get a nice guppy trio for breeding...I had them when I was in college and then again in early 1st marriage...I have some shrimpless tanks on the shrimp rack...

Nothing wrong with a tank of beautiful guppies!  I have a wild guppy story from 1971 to share another time.  Remind me if I forget,
