110: Crystal Red Shrimp!

Hello and happy spring to you all!  Thanks for visiting my blog and checking out the latest news with my aquariums.

During my daily search on Craigslist for aquarium stuff, I came across an ad for Crystal Red Shrimp and jumped at the opportunity.  Very nice guy from here in town and the quality of the shrimp is top notch. These guys should get around 1 to 1.5 inches.  Right now they are about and 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch.

These shrimps are a blast to watch with their constantly moving legs and arms!  Videos are coming soon when I can get them in focus on my camera.

Life is what you make so make it a great week everyone.  When was the last time you asked "what's in MY tank and do I like the fish I am looking at?"

Went to a fish show this past weekend at the VFW in Fridley MN. I love the irony of visiting a Tropical Fish Show and seeing this on the sign above the entry door, "Fish Fry"! Seriously!  LMAO!

It's beginning to feel like Disc Golf weather!  Very exciting!   As so many of your may know, this is my warm weather hobby.  If you have thought or would like to learn, it would be my pleasure to show and teach you one of my favorite games.  Just in case you wanted to see what's in your neighborhood, check out this Google map of the location across the United States.

I'll just briefly touch on news and current events from last week.  

Glen Beck no longer has a daily show on Fox News; rejoice, rejoice, rejoice!   

Judicial referendum in Wisconsin has prevailed and is most wonderful!  

And to leave on the funniest new story one can even think of.  Quote "...it appears from the paperwork, we have a bar owner who believes in the power of prayer, and an entire church congregation that does not.” (web link to article click here).

Hello friends, family and fellow humans around the world!  

Thank you for visiting my blog and sharing in the fun of my hobby.  

Over the next few weeks you will be seeing this tank.  I had to split up the fun.

This tank was setup in the most wonderful home I rented a few years ago with my fiancée Jennifer in the Minneapolis's Bryn-mar neighborhood.  This home was ~5,200sq ft and Victorian from 1889 (originally).

With Jennifer's photography, this tank becomes one of my favorite tanks. Thank you again, Jen, for taking such wonderful photos. (As you browse the images clicking on them enlarges the photos.)

Enjoy!

Andrew

You may have noticed I didn't have a post last week and this one is a day late. A lot has been on my plate and the little down time I had I didn't feel like working on this bog.  The reason I relate this info is to share some of my new found wisdom.  For me to enjoy my hobby and have my eyes focused on the tank I put the fish that please me most.

I've kept my head out of the news lately; it's been getting me down just turning on the radio.  I haven't denied myself of news however. Living with politics sometimes mean you have to pick sides and that's asking for much right now.  I contributed my FIRST $20 for 'Obama 2012' yesterday. Now it's only $999,999,980 to go!
