Not Charles and not sure on the wi-fi, but the American Legions website might say whether or not they do.

Samantha and Cameron  would like to say Thank you to Charles for the tanks given to them tonight for helping.

I thought I would never get them in bed because they were still so excited.

Re: HAS FALL 2008 AUCTION

I'm very very pleased with one of my many "mystery" fishies that I came home with last night. I don't know what kind of fish it is, but it was very dull and bland looking when I got it home and stuck it in my community tank to acclimate.

After floating for about 20 minutes, I released it into the community, I fed them all at the same time and the new arrival just slowly sank to the bottom.
I was not very optomistic about his chances at this point, after all I figure he had been in that bag for over 12 hours most likely...and he was not looking very good at this point.

I went on to other fishies that I had floating and released them and watched them all for a short time....thankfully, I did not lose any of my new fishies....Most of them swam off and hid in rocks or just starting swimming about like they belonged in the tank.

Well, I went back to the "big kids" community tank and was expecting to see one very sick or distressed fish, but I could not find him. He was gone....???

I eventually found him, he had revived fully and was displaying a dark rich midnight blue body with red highlighted fins....He was stunning....gorgeous....a night and day difference in the short time of 30 minutes since I had walked away from the tank earlier......

It just goes to show you, You never know, what you're going to come home with after one of these auctions.....

I'll get a picture of him up soon....and I have the bag in the den, so I'll be able to share the species with you all...
