My DAAS meeting Tonight May 23

[TwoTankAmin]

It will be a bit of an odd one for me, First, I have a portable, 75 gpd, 4 stage RO/DI unit I bought about a year ago. I only used about 11-12 gallons a week for my Altum angel tank. I sold the the fish about 6 months ago and no longer needed the unit. I had agreed to sell it to member of my club and should have brought it to last month's meeting for him. But I forgot it. I will bring it tonight. It means I will never get any fish that might need purer water to be able to keep them. I had always wanted to try licorice gouramis. Oh well.....

Next, tonight's speaker is doing a presentation on plecos. Over the past 24+ years I have kept about a dozen species/distinct varieties and L-number plecos. Pretty much all of which spawned in my tanks prolifically. I have been down sizing and have only one breeding pleco group remaining. I have have 13 super white of the "L236" variety of the recently described species Hyypancistrus seideli (which encomapassess L066, L236, L287, L333, L399 and L400 as being the same species).

All of the above just reminds me that a lot of the things I have really enjoyed doing for over 20 years now are ended or ending. *sigh*

You have kept & bred many cool species & still have some, even some new species for your enjoyment. I wonder if you'll come home with fish tonight? It's been known to happen, lol. Maybe a few more cory oiapoquensis?

Have fun!

You know me too well Ms. Fishorama. I came home with with 6 young Osteogaster aenea (bronze cory) and 6 young Inpaichthys kerri to add to my current group.

I sold 39 assassin snails and the ro/di unit went to the person who bred the 4 oiapoquensis I had bought. I am getting 6 more from him for only $30 at tge June meeting.. That will get me up to 10. I have a single large albino aenea, so the new 6 will make 7, I still have a lone black schultzei and a lone Hoplisoma sterbai plus only three long fin Hoplisoma paleatum. I am hoping to boost them al into groups of at least 10 each.

All of the corys will end up in planted communities. The one exception are the 10 Hoplisoma cw111. I am going to see if they might spawn for me.

Also, it turns out that I knew the speaker tonight. We have met at several weekend fish events.
