Well folks! It's time to start thinking about the October Swap Meet. Last year was great and I hope to make this one even better. You should start thinking ahead on getting your fish or fish stuff ready to sell. Keep checking the post, I'm working on getting donation for this and as I get them I will post them.

I think Gail and I will be going to this swap meet this weekend. It was sort of spur of the moment, but we can work it in with visits to both grand-daughters. One is going to school in St. Louis and the other in Columbia. We may even be able to visit the Columbia Pet Center if the timing is right. Denny

did you get anything interesting?

[dennysfishroom]

I did get 4 medium sized logfinned BN's. Also got a male hifinned tuxedo swordtail which I'm going to try to get into my lyretail strain, and 3 albino gold weather loaches. Now I have to go down and see if any survived the trip. Found some super red kribensis for Corey. The swap meet was pretty well attended, and they had a lot of people selling. Also talked to Alan Wood from ALA , and said hello to Mike Hellweg. Denny

Got everybody into quarantine tanks, and everyone made it in good shape (so far). Looking good. Denny
