I spent today doing the festive preparation of cleaning the aquarium filters and vacuuming fish gravel. We've welcomed a little school of tiger barbs to our piscean family.

L looks really sweet while cooking over the Roman camp stove too. Cooking must agree with L! :)

Have a wonderful holiday, and let's talk fish when it is over: I'm hunting for an undergravel filter, but they don't seem to make them anymore!

re: filters -- I won't use anything but a canister anymore. I swear by Fluval for ease of use and efficiency.

If you want biological filtering, then I would just go for sponge filters. These people make good ones. We've got a couple on the spare tank (20 gal, it's only permanent resident is a betta). They are good to have on hand if you need an emergency bio filter to cycle up a tank quickly.

we have heavily planted tanks so an undergravel would not work for us... you wouldn't happen to need some cryptocoryne or giant anubias would you? :)

I hope you find some quiet time in your holiday too! I realize with kids it's a different story. I hope for quality enjoyment for all of you!

I'm sorry I didn't get a card to you both, but my Christmas card list is still on my old computer and hasn't been transferred over yet. (transfering everything was on my Christmas list)... I replaced as many recipents on my list as I could, but I couldn't remember your complete address. Sorry. Hope you enjoy you nice relaxing holidays! Happy and Healthy New Year to you both!
