Assuming my plane gets in on time, Trevor and I will be there with 3 Rift Lake cichlids and 3 Fresh Water Animals.

Curses, I can only manage 2 and 2!

webmoose · 03-21-2005, 02:49 PM

I am going to try very hard to make it!

Toirtis · 03-21-2005, 02:54 PM

Good, it will be nice to see you again.

Huge Apple snail, Huge Auction, Great presentation. Grabbed 5 books and some crystalwort. I was in so much pain by the time I left but it was worth it.

I didn't get a chance to talk to Toirtis.. I was going to ask if he knew how to tell if a snail was dead or just hanging out. My zebra snail stopped moving a few days back and it closed up. He doesn't stink yet so I am giving him another day or two before I delcare him toast.

Mooose

Zebras often go inactive for a few days...just keep an eye on him....if he is still attached to something, he is very likely just fine.

I was thinking with Spring having arrived and Pond Season gearing up... do you guys know of anyone at the meetings (or even outside of CAS) I could blackmail into doing a Pond Presentation for May?

Menagerie · 04-22-2005, 10:40 AM

There will be a Home Tour that focuses on pnds (I think) in June. Ask Tom who has ponds and then start calling!

This will be our last meeting

I will be giving the presentation about moving with fish, assuming I actually have time to put it together and can speak comfortably after having my wisdom teeth removed on Monday

Plus, this will be the last concessions that I bake for, so bring your appetite and quarters for chocolate chip cookies and/or chocolate chocolate chunk cookies with walnuts.

Colby did an excellent pond presentation last year...I will have to see if I can find his phone number.
