What are you brining to the June Mini-auction [Archive] - Capital Cichlid Association Forums

George

06-09-2009, 6:11 PM

The projector, my laptop and a bad attitude (I bring the attitude every month :angel2:).

May walk around the basement and see what I find.

Bad attitude is much appreciated. Hit Richard up for some of his meds if you get feeling strange.

Anyone want juvenile Haps - Astotilapias, Ruby greens, Sp '44's, Zebra obliquedens. Most sexable but that's iffy at this age.

If no interest I'll hang on to them for awhile. Cleveland is coming and it is fertile ground.

I will bring some inverts. Maybe Blue berry shrimp, Blue dwarf crayfish. I suspect cherry reds are about at saturation, huh?

Should be a great meeting. Eric is very good on Corys and he may even convert some of you rift pond bigots. Corys are really fun if you don't mix them with African hard water cichlids.:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Ha! LOL! We'll my friend, I'm glad I'll get to see you on Saturday before you head to the Deep Deep South....South America. ;)

So listen here Mr. Richter, Aka Pappa G, Obi Wan Kenobi, The Ceviche Killer, Georgy Porgy Puttin Pie, Easter Egg Breeder, The rather scruffy looking Magnum P.I from the Catfish Convention who was always holding a beer in his hand.

And finally the almighty Swami, which under the Urban dictionary definition stands for the following:

A highly respected and revered individual; someone with status, a "who's the swami of this establishment?" :D
A person who knows and points out the truth before you can weasel your way out of it. A type of a mind reader. :wacko:

A cool hippie kinda of surfer Dude who always points out the obvious. :happy0144:

You my friend need some serious vacation to Peru and as your Doctor, I recommend you take a couple of weeks off and have a ceviche a day, lots of Cervesa (Beer):character0272: and some cocoa leaf's in your tea.

Then call me in the morning!!!:lol::lol::lol:

See ya Saturday G!:tongue0015:

nobody wanted the snowballs when I brought them! LOL Irony! THey are neocaridina so have teh same care requirements as cherry shrimp and should not be housed with other neocaridina (bluepearl, cherry red, yellow, etc).
Try bringing another bag or two, I'm sure whoever doesn't get what Sarah brings will want yours( I plan on biding).

Forget brining. Who needs the extra sodium? Soak your poultry in dilute lime juice/orange juice solution. Add a tablespoon or so of cumin, three or four bulbs of squashed garlic, some oregano, and a half cup or so of white wine.

I've never tried brining fish - it generally seems to be salty enough without adding more. However, brining is a great trick for juicier poultry - especially if you are BBQing.

For those who are not CCA members, this is the time to join so bring Cash guys and gals.

New Members will have their name announced at the meeting kind of like the "The Price is Right TV Show" and you'll have your name in Green on the Forum instead of that dull blue.

Plus, Capital Cichlid members have access to private parties (CCA BBQ), VIP Field Trips, Breeding Contests and bunch of other fun stuff. So Come on down! You'll be the next contestant on the "Price is Right!"

Who wanted plants? I could do a major trim of a bunch of different stems if anyone would be interested... also have some neat stuff that needs to be thinned, Hydrocotyle verticillata (http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/forumapc/plantfinder/details.php?id=53&category=genus&spec=Hydrocotyle) creeps along and shoots up individual stalks with one leaf on top that look like green toadstools. SUPER easy to grow.

I also have endlers, but not the traditional multi-colored kind. I've got Tiger Endlers (just greenish-yellow and black pattern). Not to trump Rachel on her black bars :angel2:, just to throw it out there in case anybody else is interested.

I know, I know. How the heck did I get involved with you Cichlid people!?!?! :unsure: Takes all kinds, right?

I think I'm going to bring the reverse trio of Metriaclimia sp. long pelvic in and offer them as a group. They're a nice fish but I need more space to work with the Salvini. Since there's only one female, I keep the three together. The males spar, which keeps them from beating up the female when they're not spawning.
