    Oh man that stinks. Good luck with whatever you're getting taken care of!

    They just spawned again. Should have wigglers anytime.

    Sorry just got this haven't been on in a few weeks. I would consider it though I've never shipped anything before so I would have to do a little research.

    Nah not where it's located. They'd have to get through a mass of elodea and water hyacinth to even find them. A duck or heron maybe but we live in the city and my dog would chase anything off when he's out. More worried about raccoons at night. :)

    Yes and yes. Though during the day temperatures got into the 80's they had a ton of plant cover. Several storms throughout the time they were there. No filtration or water circulation at all in probably a 25 gallon bucket.

    We have a cool spell coming through with possible 40's overnight. Unusual but cool enough to wipe out my fry. :)

    Yeah I stuffed the barrel with elodea and foxtail and water hyacinth and duckweed, java moss and Anubias. No filtration or airlines, just power packed plants, put some sand and gravel in bottom. When the cold passes I'll stick them back out and try again. ;)

    Nanochromis splendens WC

    Great looking fish. Old World Cichlids for the win! ;)

    I've been keeping some variant of Taeniatus for 4 years between the Lokundje and Moliwe I have never been able to get them to spawn. End of May I made an outdoor guppy barrel and on a "what the heck" I threw my only remaining pair out in it. A month and a half later I go to pull the fish out...

    Right now I have a lone oscar (Astronotus ocellatus) in a 75g tank. I had a few pairs of Pelvicachromis Taeniatus but they were taken by an unknown malady. I still have a 4 year old female taeniatus in my daughters 55g guppy tank. I have 3 tanks empty just waiting for spring. :)

    Welcome to the forum. You'll find both of the speakers you named above lurking around here somewhere.

    Kribensis fry

    Up to you. Kribs are pretty good parents and will raise juveniles to a pretty good size. Also if you take them away they will spawn again. :) So really it depends on how many kribs you want to have to find homes/tank space for. :)
