Killiefish
By Denny | October 24, 2011 @ 6:35 pm | No comment

I wanted to try some killiefish just for a change of pace. I had ordered some Northobranchius eggs from Thailand several weeks ago. They were supposed to be ready this week, so I put the eggs in some pond water Saturday, and by Saturday afternoon, I had swimming fry. I waited till Sunday to remove the fry, and I probably should have done it as soon as I noticed the fry. Not as many were swimming Sunday as I saw Saturday. I put them in a 10 gallon tank, and haven’t seen them since. Hopefully that’s just because they can hide in the Riccia.


EBJD’s

I think Corey and I have finally gotten some EBJD’s to “selling” size. We’re going to pick up an EBJD male to go with one of our BG females, which should increase our yield of the EBJD’s.


“Tanks”

I’ve watched a few episodes of the new show “Tanks”, and I’ll have to admit that I’m not impressed. It seems like Curly and Mo are making aquariums for people who have more money than sense. I don’t know why people don’t seem to have any imagination or vision on their own, but have to pay someone to tell them what they like. I guess I personally like a more natural look, too, and that’s probably coloring my judgement to some extent.


EIAA Presentation

I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent with the members of EIAA this evening. I gave my talk on “Freak Show” after going out to dinner with several of the members prior to the meeting. I thank them for their hospitality and graciousness during my visit. Denny


Rogue Chicken
By Denny | June 12, 2011 @ 8:27 pm | No comment

We occasionally let the chickens out to free-range. When we got back from Iowa last time, we let them out, but I mis-counted, and one of the chickens got left outside the coop. She decided she didn’t want to go back in, and stayed out for 12 nights. We’re surprised nothing got her, but last night Gail was able to coax her back into the coop. We both feel much better with her being in the coop when we’re out of town. I finally “butchered one of our roosters. I sure hope practice makes perfect, because it sure wasn’t a quality job. I’ll practice on the other rooster when we get back.
