Re: HAS Holiday Party 2008 Pics

Had a great time and nice to meet everyone.  My little dwarf guys are doing great although a few of them aren't dwarf.  I've had to execute one, the rest I am going to try and be more humane too and release into the wild.   I cut off it's pinchers and put him in with my angelfish to see if it wanted to eat it and left the house.   I guess it's no worse than being boiled alive with corn and potatoes.

I came back home and he is chillin in the cave.  If he's cool without pinchers I'm cool with him.

I should have let you have him.  He died already.  I don't get it.  No one else in the tank has had any problems.

I think that CAT died b/c of Nick's CAK ENVY.

I wanted that calender of Bettas, it was beautiful, but found myself undeserving bringing no gift myself.  I think my girlfriend can actually make use of the eyeshadow, she rarely wears makeup but rarely more than Jean Gene (sp?)  I didn't know want to expect coming to the HAS party and so next time I think I could conjure something up for the gift exchange (I would have probably brought plants).  I really liked everyone excluding nobody.  It was good I was there thought cause the neighbors, whose kids I use to babysit for,  whom aren't fish people, had someone to talk to (they just don't understand us).  I look forward to the next one and becoming a member.  I can talk more fish without my girlfriend there (whom isn't a fish person and doesn't understand us.  But she said she thought everyone was very nice but still hates fish).

Re: HAS Holiday Party 2008 Pics

When I met my wife, she had absolutely no interest in fish.  
Her rule was I tank in the house and only If I kept it clean.
She was a teacher, and little by little she discovered how my fish experiences related to her classroom.
I helped her plan science fair projects with daphnia; teach the food chain, oceanography, ecology, and wetlands conservation......
It didn't take long until I was summoned every school year to set up a 55g in her classroom and tear it down in June.
And she had all the kids in line to feed and care for her fish.  

Give it time, it's contagious

Howdy,
PhishPhreek brings up some very good points.  My one tank limit inside grew to 4 tanks.  My wife is also a teacher; the closest support I got from her is when many of her students found out we had water fleas or Daphnia and we sent to school about 10 cultures for Science Fair projects.  Our Daphnia crashed around Ike so looking for another Daphnia culture!

djmatthewblack you should get along fine with the Houston area fish clubs.  There are several us men that still have fun when our wives don't attend the fish functions...LOL it almost becomes a contest to see how long it takes before our wifes can tell we brought NEW fish home.  Bob Krukeburg is one of the guys I hang with.  Later, ken
