Spontaneous Fry Generating tank?!

OK Too Weird!

For the GSAS Auction I cleaned out and re-arranged several tanks. In the process I moved the tiny Celestial Pearl Danio's I had gotten as Fry from their 2 gallon tank to a newly fishless 20 gallon -
(Yes they love it but so do the shrimp! with no competition they are
multiplying like mad!! But that is another story)
- Anyway I did not get around to tearing down the fry tank and it has been sitting with moss, heater and a small filter since then. No light except for the window and pretty much ignored.

Today I happened to look in there and found fry!

What the heck!
I accused Esra of putting some spare fry in my tank until she pointed
out that they where probably the celestial pearl danio babies. I
thought they had been too young to lay eggs - guess not.......

Grook of the Day: T.T.T.

T. T. T.
Put up in a place
where it's easy to see
the cryptic admonishment
T. T. T.
When you feel how depressingly
slowly you climb,
it's well to remember that
Things Take Time.

Winning the Lottery

I wish.... 

I guess if I really wanted to win the lottery I would actually have to play it but hey with the odds being what they are maybe it is just as well I rarely indulge. Today though I was quite tempted. It was one of those days when just about anything would have been better than what I was doing. Not quite everything was going wrong but I am sure the other shoe will drop tomorrow.....

Ah well, the paychecks still don't bounce....

Grook of the Day: The Eternal Twins

The Eternal Twins
Taking fun
as simply fun
and earnestness
in earnest
shows how thoroughly
thou none

discernest.
