Hahaha nice! It would be a floating aquascape!

And sweet man! I can't wait!

I just acquired some orange bee shrimp and snowballs

Hey guys, I just pulled some more Diodia virginiana (emersed) and threw it in my tank to get it converting to submerged. If anyone wants to try it out, I can bring a few stems. They'll only have been submersed for 3 weeks by the meeting so they'll still need some time to really get growing. As far as I know, only 3 people in the US are growing this in tanks right now, even though it is easy to find in the Houston area.

Here's a link to some pics I took in my tank:

If you go to the first post, I linked some sites that describe the species.

Also, does anyone have any shrimp they can share? I'd like to try some out (maybe Red Cherries? ).

If you guys didn't get the Tropica video I can bring my copy. It plays fine on my laptop also.

And dave, in case you need it Fish Gallery has a sale on cherry shrimp for 10/$10. I will also bring my O2 test kit for you to measure the effects of 24/7 CO2.

Dave, what happened to the blue shrimp you got?

davemonkey

I put them in my daughters tank, and they are really blue. I was hoping to get some Red Cherries for the big tank at the auction, but I got out-bid.

If you around my area today {memorial day} I can give you some red shrimp.
Call first to make sure the wife doesn't have me out doing honey do's.

Thanks, Glenn! I'll give you a 'holler this afternoon.

I am redoing my 50 gallon tank and will have a lot of Crypts for someone at the next meeting. They are quite large plants and consist of Green and Bronze. I'll trim them up before bringing so if anyone needs them let me know. Making room for more light to bottom of tank.
Dave, did the shrimp make it to your tank ok? The "minuta" is taking hold now and I'm getting new lobed leaves on some. I checked the Plant finder and that seems common on some species of Marsilea

davemonkey

Glenn,

The shrimp are doing great. THANKS!! I'm floating a bit of that marsilea now to see if I can get a flower. My new suspicion is Marsilea hirsuta (but you never know for sure until you confirm it with a flower, I guess).

If no one else needs crypts, I'll take them for my newly acquired tank. I'm currently thinking up a scape for it.
