I got the dwarf hair grass for the auction. I also found a box of brand new 12 bio bag Whisper disposable filter cartridges with activated carbon that I will put in the auction.

Michael, I think Jim was joking, hoping to win them for himself in the auction. Cheeky Devil he is!

Wrong, you must be thinking of something very different. I have them in planted tanks - never caused a problem with a single plant. Actually some of the planted tanks are getting overgrown. As to big - only about 1.5 inches. I'm breeding them in ten to 20 gallon long tanks. Never seen them nip a bow nor have any of my bows shown torn fins. Likewise I've never seen any evidence of digging.

Mike, I was just being cheeky.

I've been coveting Eileen's Goo obo's for quite some time since I first saw them on Bowheads. (Somehow this just doesn't sound right

)

Cheers.
Jim

OK, so the plan is, we all gang up to outbid Jim, whether we want these fish or not?

Fissidens fontanus

I knew he was joking since he coveted them. I also knew he cheekily wanted to drive away bidders. All I wanted was to put it out there so no one would believe him that didn't know better.

BTW folks - internet check shows that they are still very costly. So!!! Jim better bring big bucks!! These are from Kent Webster - his current price is $45 each plus shipping. Drs Foster & Smith are selling for $39.99 each plus shipping!

I've got the shrimp covered. I bagged up my usual 15 per.

Cheers.

No problem. I printed up a bunch of million dollars notes this morning just for such an occasion. If the ink is still a bit sticky, just lay 'em on your dash on the way home and they'll dry out in no time.

So Michael, these are F/1's?

Cheers.

Anyone wants to carpool with me, let me know. I'll be out for the morning, but will be back briefly a bit before I leave for the meeting at 12. I'll check for messages before I go.
