@kevgib67 little Kephin got new friends today. They don't look like much right now but they will be beautiful when they grow up. OG little Kephin is the betta, the small white fish are his new friends they are red blue eyed rainbow fish. The blue shrimps and the ghost shrimp and snails have been in the tank for a while. The screen shot picture is what the new fish will look like when they grow up.

Oh, and the new cam supposedly takes great video. Here's a test video on full auto with no edits. Looks promising once I learn how to use it.

The background sound is me entertaining my granddaughter.
Love it OG. All of my videos sound like this in the background too!
 
Really nice! I had one back in the day. I will look for a pic. Don't know if I have one.
Thank you! I hope you do have one. This coral is unique to me bc the skeletal structure looks as good as the polyps!
 
Except me! I call you OG, it now I have other options lol
OG works for me among anything else you want to call me 😜. I added the OG when I joined R2R because MegaBite was taken. It was my handle on Reef Central years ago.
 
Our latest and greatest addition to the Dendro brother hood! Kevin that's an awesome colony. How many heads does it have? Ii really like the way it's branching up, of course you could situate it however you wanted to. This is one of my favorite corals in my tank! Oyster eggs, rotifers, and baby brine shrimp are your friend. Oh yeah, if they dont like those options, basically anything will work lol. They eat like beasts.
I thought Kevin was in .is he now a Dendro brother and sister ??
 
Keep scrolling and you’ll see! We have a sub club on the Smorgasbord, the elder reefers and we don’t make fun of each other like these youngsters do,I’m one of the founding members. We have a secret handshake and everything! If you’re interested let me know. Care to share your first name?
How come I didn’t know about the secret hand shake ?
 
@kevgib67 , I see you are worried about you light/PAR levels for the clam. Giving the fact you could more than enough provide food for its filter feeding needs. The only advice i could give you is, steam until it pops open, then enjoy with a little Horseradish sauce
 
Weekly coons update! Warning: this video contains graphic ******, sexual content, violence, smoking, drug use, vulgar language, flashing lights and extreme cuteness proceed with caution.



 
Can't right now according to my husband I have been spending too much lately on fish stuff. I need to start putting away money to buy hay for the winter for my horses. So I have to be good for the next month or so them I can start buying stuff again. 😆
