    Hey Iggy, that’s really cool. I have some new bio-balls I’d be happy to donate to the cause. Would also like clowns as we discussed at the last meeting.

    My clowns lay eggs 2 weeks. It takes 7-8 days for them to hatch, then 7-8 days later they lay more eggs. It's got to be an exhausting schedule. The next day after they hatch, the clowns lay motionless in a couple of big hairy mushrooms on the bottom of the tank. It's so funny. Then when they wake up they eat like pigs.

    I took the last batch to John Tom's house for him to raise. I didn't have any rotifers ready. He shipped some overnighted and the babies are reportedly doing fine. There were only about 3 dozen that survived the 2nd day this time.

    I'll try to catch them again this time and probably send them over to John's house if he's still up another batch.

    Iggy, do you still have any left? I never got a buddy for my Naked Clown.

    Iggy said probably around the end of this month, so I'm guessing we can start pestering him about them soon. I was waiting till he posted that they are ready. Blizz can't wait to go pick out a pair!
