I tore down and thoroughly cleaned the tank

Yesterday, I tore down and thoroughly clean my tank. I have added two to my stock and now have 24 fish in my 75 G tank. I removed the clay pots that served as caves for the Mbuna that are known as being rock fish. If the aggression spikes, I will place them back in the tank.

My current stock:

75G w/ 2 Emperor 400's

Mbuna species:
2 L. Caeruleus (Yellow Lab)
1 M. Estherae (Red Zebra)
2 M. Cyanerhabdos (Maingano)
2 M. Auratus Albino
1 M. Joanjohnsonae
3 P. Socolofi (Albino Pindani)
2 P. Crabro (Bumblebee/Hornet Mbuna)
2 Pseudotropheus Sp. (Elongatus Chewere)
1 P. Demasoni (Pombo Rocks)

Other species:
2 N. Livingstonii (Kalingo): a Hap
6 Clown Loach
1 Cuckoo Catfish

The Yellow Lab in the middle is the dominant fish in the tank, which is not a bad thing. The Lab to the left is female that is holding fry (babies) in her mouth.

The Demasoni (Pombo Rocks) is doing well with this stock, as they tend to be highly aggressive

Great Blue Herring, Word Stork & the White Peacock Butterfly

After breakfast I decided to take some shots at a local watering hole. I was not patient this AM and some of the shots did not turn out crisp because I was clicking too fast. This caused some blurring.

Can Chili cure asthmatic bronchitis?

I have been plagued by a bought of asthmatic bronchitis for over a week now. I missed two days of work last week (Monday and Tuesday) and it got really bad on Thursday and Friday. I am feeling better; however, I feel alien from all of the breathing treatments, steroids, antibiotics, and antihistamines. I thought a spicey bowl of chili will help to open things up!

Bye bye land line

How many phone numbers, accounts, and devices does one person need? I feel that an office line at work, a fax line at work, a work cell phone, and a personal cell phone is enough for me! I called Vontage and requested that my home line be canceled. Vontage did their best to keep me as a customer by offering free months and etc; however, I no longer need the phone line. I do not fax anything from my house, I rarely talked on that phone, and my internet service is via cable. Land lines are becoming a thing of the past!

Green Cay: a rainy and beautiful day

Today has been a wet; however, we need the rain. In between the showers, we visited Green Cay. It was cool and windy. I was happy that it was not too humid from the moisture in the air. I was happy to see three gators! The rain held out until we were almost finish with our walk.
