It's 177 miles one way for me. St. Louis is the long one. 465 miles.

Ouch, that's a haul...but over night , or for a weekend, that's not bad. We're considering Denver for the ACA next year. It'd be a nice long weekend....

I think the idea of when we went....coming over staying the night getting up at 4 to help bag fish was the best idea!!!

Thanx, we always enjoy swap meets...not just to sell Angels , cory's and BN's..but to be with old friends, and to make new ones...it's a good experience for any fish hobbyist...so much to learn, so little time.... 8)

Sorry you can't make it to the swap. Are you going to Texas for business or pleasure?

It was a great day. Thanks Capt'n Bob My blue rams love the Teeny Greeny. They final found a pellet they could fit in there mouth. I also put some Salmon Veggie in the community tank. They where acting like it was the first time they eat.
I also got a few smokey Albino Angels from Frank. I couldn't help my self they were so cute.
I got a few odds and ends to finish off the 30 gallon set up. Thanks Jon for the slate and sponge filter. I put the filter in the 40 for now to get it good and loaded for my next tank. I have been thinking of putting the rams in a 20 long and using the 20 high for another breeding tank. Just don't tell my wife  ;D
Then when I came home and started feeding I found the male BN on a new batch of eggs And they look good this time around. I hope the extra protein and putting there cave at a angel helps.

There is two more that are in the corner pouting. I also had to kick a sunset out of the tank he was the biggest male in there and when I put the albinos in he went for them. Now the sunset is in the 40 with the bigger angels.

Looks like you have a few of the Wifi's too. About 25% are wifi. I don't focus on those but they can be neat too.
I have 100 fish tanks, but two pairs of shoes. The latter is proof that I am still relatively sane. The question is...relative to what?
