Fish club meeting tonight! It's been a long time since I've gone to a meeting - they always seem to conflict with something, generally getting ready for a dog show. With Argus retired from active campaigning, I need to get back to all things fishy! I have four empty tanks right now, still up and running and ready for new inhabitants. A number of my fish are elderly too, so it's time to add some new young fish. Yes, I let my fish live out their days in peace and do not normally hurry their exits. Several of my Cherry Barbs are over 5 years of age, and Edd my Puffer as well.
Four species of young fish to take along to the meeting tonight for the BAP table. Members get points for spawning and raising different species, the number of points dependent on the presumed difficulty doing that particular species. The bags of fishes are auctioned off to club members, and the club uses the money to support it's various activities including excellent speakers.
Assuming I get them all caught and bagged, I will be taking along Synodontis petricola, Gambusia affinis, Limia tridens, and Black Mollies (they are a hybrid and have not official Latin name). We have to take at least 4 fish, and because I have only the 5 Mollies I will take them all. Love the little Mollies - hope the parents spawn again.
Really need to get back into serious fish keeping. I miss my fish club friends, and am ready to try some new species. I have 300+ BAP points and need 500 to get to the next breeder level. I think these are all 10 point species except for the Petricola which will be worth more.
Good news on Josie! The growth is a large wart with a long root. It will require surgical removal (scheduled for next week) but she'll be fine.
