The temps are finally falling although very slowly here. This has spurred my bristlenose to start getting busy again. They have been on strike for about 4 months because the water temps were to warm in the fish room. Pulled fry from albino greens, browns, super reds and calicos. I let the greens stay in with the parents and they had a huge spawn. I have gotten very low on these so I am glad to start getting babies again.

I raise house plants as well as fish and will be bringing these to the upcoming swap. Mostly sansevieria, few crown of thorns and some Thanksgiving cactus. Come see me at booth #14.

Had a disaster of a water change last week. Finished a my Wednesday changes and went in the house. Came back out a few hours later to death. Killed my adult colony of C. soulosi and 5 adult S. multis I was trying to get to breed with them. Several 3" bristlenose in the tank and only 1 was lost. I guess I didn't dechlorinate the tank. Tough and expensive loss.

Quick video of one of the 100 gallon vats. Full of albino peacocks. There are also some OB's and well as a few white lab and C. saulosi males in there. Will tear down early October depending on temps and sell all of them. Some of them will come to the October 4 Expo in Lewisville.

Rough weather night in DFW last night. Winds to 82 MPH and lots of rain. I was worried about roof damage, only had the new roof about a month from the March 8 hail storm. Luckily we have no damage. The power went out a midnight which becomes a problem with the fish in 1-2 hours. It wasn't too hot so I had to fire up the generator in the rain to get the linear piston pumps going. Got a little sleep and woke up at 6:30 when the power came back on. No casualties so just an inconvenience.
