Ron lists many of the reasons I stick with GSAS. I've been a member for...hmmmmm...over 10 years, I guess (don't remember year I joined). I'm NOT a joiner! But I know that I can get answers for just about any question I have, find cool things like freebie microworm culture starts if I ask...

edited post: The club needed immediate payment so I will just have to wait until I have cash-in-hand or room on the cc....so this may not happen. We'll see. I most likely WON'T get the LED if ANY tanks are still available. The perils of being a fed during budget crisis time....unwilling to take...

Not sure if it'll go back into storage or what. The Danio choprae sure like that footprint. I'll have to see what vibe I get once I get the 75g tank planted up....don't know whether it will 'say' Danio choprae or not. I do like keeping the two (goldfish and danios) together just for the energy...

HA.....I don't have very good luck, so I went and asked for one of the non-raffle setups. I think my calico ryukins will be thrilled. Just have to do some tank juggling after we figure out transport logistics. This is the biggest tank I've EVER attempted. I think there are 2 left....I asked for...

The GSAS has offered gently used 75g tank set-ups from Pet Expo in Spokane for the last couple years. This year I decided that I was up to trying something this big. 75g is HUGE for me.....most of my tanks are between 2.5 and 10g. Anyway, my 33L is getting a bit tight for my 2 calico beauties so...

Great inspiration! I have a Mr. Aqua 12g long still in the box out in the garage. I want to put my Danio erythromicron in there eventually, but have to figure out where to put it. I've been waging the slow war against Riccia for about a year. It's NOT a good plant for me as it gets into...

For those with an interest, the public video bit showing my place in the 2013 GSAS Home Show was just put up. I can't post a link yet but go to the GSAS website, look at the top bar and click on Resources, then free on-line videos....there are 2 albums there. One is for a really great 6-part...

These will probably go into a Fluval Flora I need to set up. I think that's around 9g. I have an additional fishless 5g quarantine tank which can function as a quarantine tank for the newbies until I decide. I've got a bunch of black sand to layer over laterite/floruite to show off these...

I WISH I had some female Dario dario. That is my nemesis fish! Right now I have just 1 male left from a group buy November 2011 (I think). I've had GSAS member search out females for me before, but it was a difficult time of year and I never got fry when I tried to pair them. It's easier for me...

This week I'm getting another 10 from Wet Spot co-order with a fish friend. Betty G.

YAY! I feel the same way about female Dario dario (and I know I'm not alone)! I kept these gudgeons for about 3 years and the male RARELY came out of the cave. The female was out and about all the time. I never got any surviving fry. Oh well. Hope you have much better luck....looks like you are...

Awhile back (maybe around a year ago), I went in on an order with a fellow GSAS member to mailorder some special fish from back East (I think it was in NJ). I got a batch of Boraras briggitae and a batch of Danio erythromicron. Both went into separate quarantine tanks. The Boraras ended up in a...

Oh I wish I had a pile of 40g breeders laying around and the space to set them up. Maybe someday. I actually would like to play with some of the calmer/mellower cichlids again, but right now space is an issue and I prefer the gouramis, livebearers, danios, rasboras and, goldfish/koi for now. So...

Just wanted to note that not all guppy strains in the photos are annotated yet. There are Japanese blues, lemon snakeskin, purple moscow, a see-through strain from ATFG via GSAS members, and bluegrass guppies in the 'show' as well as a wild-type male honey gourami (Colisa chuna unless they've...

Well....I'm really NOT much of a photographer, but I was one of the homes in the 2013 GSAS Home Show and some of my fish/tanks are shown on the GSAS website right now. Those photos are available to non-members. Because I'm new here, I can't post an external link for 7 days but if you go to the...
