Yeah. Good luck with finding females. I can't tell you if mine are eating my shrimp, or not. I have more shrimp than I bought, though.

Maybe turn off the blue. See how that looks. Blue seems to grow algae more.

Huh! That is a better idea. Thanks!

I regularly feed with baby brine shrimp. I don't mind. It's just a part of the natural order of things. But, I then have to wash out the hatcher. I know that I'm flushing some live shrimplets down the drain. It makes me feel guilty.

58° when I woke up this morning!

We set another all-time record high temp., yesterday. Around 8:00pm it started cooling down. It was finally cool enough that I slept through the night. When I went to bed, it was still hot in the house, so I left the cooler and fan running. This morning, I found that the heater couldn't keep up. It was 74° in the tank. But, everybody made it through the ordeal and we're back to normal. 😎 💪

It's below 90° in here, and cooling rapidly outside! I think that we're going to make it.

I've been doing OK, until the past few hours. My freezer fell behind on making ice. I've been melting it faster than I can make it and the stores are out. I, just now, resorted to evaporative cooling - I hosed down the outside of the house. 93° in here. Fish are still at 79°.

I took a fan out of a window and it's now blowing across the back of the refrigerator. It seems to be helping.

I finally decided to go get some ice. Everybody's out. I'm just trying to limp it home, now.

My biggest problem is that my freezer isn't keeping up. It can't make ice fast enough. Today is supposed to be the last day of this. I hope it works out that way.

I have a pair, in a fifteen gallon tank. They keep having children, but I haven't been able to raise any to adolescence.

It all depends on your power requirement. I can run my Aquarium's life support from the inverter in my pickup truck.
