So much awesome stuff going on.
shellyx. I am wondering about a bacterial infection, at this point with the shrimp! That is terrible about the losses.
Pretty gorgeous Finley you have there!

Tonight's news starts about that it was Colorado Aquarium Society (CAS) meeting night.
Wasn't intending on getting any new stock...
...except that there was a big bag of mixed Guppies and Endlers and I needed some to eat the mosquito larva in the buckets outside. I can't scoop the buggers up quick or thoroughly enough so the fish can do the job.
So I got this interesting bag of 20+ Cobra/Snakeskin and Endler for $12 or $13 (can't recall) - less than a dollar a fish. Thought it might be good for the buckets and pond for the summer. I can always take the fish back to sell at the mini or regular auctions if there end up being too many.
There were 4-5 really great looking fish in there. A huge female, a Bronze female, and a few nice looking Cobra and Green or could be halfblack Green Cobra, and several very pretty male Lace Guppy (one especially pretty tail), many are young so hard to know what all is there. There are a few with different shaped tails - lyre tail and sword. Anyhow some pretty ones even if they aren't probably gonna win a Guppy Standards awards.
I really like Guppies. The ones I saw from local breeders in the mid 1970's Delta tail shape and size were amazing. Not so much a few years ago til recently, have started to see some stunning pics of fish from mostly overseas breeders, some mind blowing fish, colors and patterns.
These guys are stressed out and getting them into the 46G (half full) tank.
And because shellyx, mentioned getting a super red Pleco, I saw some (short fins) from one of the good breeders at the mini auction and won a bag of 4- yes 4 for $12 /or 13. It is all your fault I couldn't help it. In talking with the breeder afterwards, he thinks he has about 300-500 super red - fry to young ones now!!! Crazy!
Also picked up a plant they called it Bacopa, but I'm wondering if it is Pennywort it was $3 for a bag. After looking comparitively at the pics I think it is PW not Bacopa.
