Morning Jon.  Cooler here this morning too.  A few errands to run and an appointment later.  With a bit of luck I'll get motivated after and set-up some more fish for spawning...

...is excellent. It is very cool and very windy here this morning although the sun is shining brightly. It's going to be a challenging day here for sure. huh

Too Many Fish. Not Enough Tanks.

Good Morning.

Walked in the room this morning and one of the big male angels in a tank by the window completely freaked out and kept slamming off the walls, causing the others to stampede. I held still, but after a little time I realized it was me standing there in the sunshine that seemed to be causing it. I walked away and it stopped. The slate was knocked over, there are broken leaves. He came to rest with his nose in the back corner behind a filter, and after being frozen there for 10 minutes he came out. So far he seems ok.

The only other time I have seen this was once when my son walked in the room wearing a bright red shirt. I'm wearing black.  huh

...didn't exist for me today...so I called the doc's office and they said decaf is okay...so this is afternoon coffee for me...

...took some plants to the PO to mail to a fella up in Peoria...starting to develop more local aquarist contacts...

...not to motivated today, but am thinking about building a new shed for aquariums...too much effort involved for the moment though... For now, I think I'll just put in a couple shelves above my computer desk nook for Bettas or killies...

...at 2:30 the 6 of us that are going to head up the Spring Fling are getting together to settle on a theme for next year's event, and maybe discuss people we can hit up to chair certain individual events....there may be some frozen mudslides involved...!   mim mim |^|

...Maybe tomorrow I'll drive down to Tucson and check out this aquarium shop... http://www.arizonanatureaquatics.com/#arizona-nature-aquatics
Happy Aquariuming,
