Tailgate list

@Christina Steele - I'll bring you 2 low light mixed "grab-bags." They'll contain a mix of Anubias, Java fern, and Crypts - I hope that sounds OK.

@terri.vance - I do not have 5 coffeefolia. I'll see what I can do, though. I think Viktor with GWAPA has some emergent growth items he's bringing.

@Diane M the one I'm thinking of has leaves about the size of a daisy petal - would this work?

@Becca I think I'm really looking for smaller round leaves

@Diane M I don't have anything with very round leaves - everything has oval leaves.

@azuresky sorry, it's a group of 4. I thought you were asking how big the group is. They're adult sized (2-2.5"). I need a place for all of them, so you'll need to take the whole group.

@Becca Ok, 4 cories. I have 2 already so it will be a nice flock. Thanks. See you on the 18th. Aileen REdding

They're white neocaridina. It's probably best to search on google - the eggs are white, too, and look like snowballs.

I'll see how many I have. $5 for small/plantlet sized. $10 for mother plant.

@terri.vance I definitely have 15 shrimp (sizes/ages will vary).

I'll try on the nurii. I should have that much to spare, it might just be hidden beneath clouds of stargrass.

@Becca 2 C. nurii questions (not kept it before):

1) I have a long established plant tank, but I'm also setting up a new planted tank this weekend. Can the C. nurii handle a new tank or is it better going in the established one?

2) I might give my neighbor a one of the smalls, but she's @ beginner level w/ plants. Is the C. nurii too difficult for a beginner?

Thanks!

@terri.vance I cannot really answer either of those questions. I have put it in newer tanks, and it seems to do well, though its growth pattern differs depending on lighting, depth, etc. That's experience, but not "official knowledge." I would think you could put it in a newer tank if you use root tabs. Like all crypts, it might melt. I have spread it around - some in a 55, some in the 33 long, some in a 260, some in a 240, also some in a 40 breeder. I think my original plant came from Damian.

@azuresky I think there's 4 or 5. They just need a retirement home.

I'll make sure to bring some of all of those.

@Connor Rothandler $20. Yes, I have 12.

@Becca thank you can you try to have a good mix of male and female please. but don’t stress over it.

@Connor Rothandler yes- I always do my best to get a good mix. I pick shrimp that aren't full size because once they hit their max size it's impossible to tell how old they are. I don't want to risk giving you a shrimp that's 16 months old when the lifespan is like 18 months.

Right now I have an 18-20" that's all white lights. I may have a beamswork, marineland, or finnex fugeray that would fit the bill. If I have something that's 36" and for plants, I'll bring it. I'm expecting some replacement power supplies for Finnex's this week, but I need to get the time to do the work to rewire them (the original Fugeray power supply was not long lived).

@linus_cello

The kind that flowers every two weeks. It has pinks and greens.

@Becca add a c nurii please

@Becca Could you please cancel my Needle leaf java fern order and instead add

$20 worth Bucephelandra (pink and blue-green) varieties. Thank you.

I have a request to make. Could you please include males and females in the group, I wish they breed in my tank, would be exciting! Is 6 corys a good number for breeding? I would buy a couple more if any available.

@mye2843 the odds of you getting males and females in a group of 6 is somewhere around 90%. These are juvenile cory cats, so I cannot sex them at this stage.
