Swat them with a newspaper like Kevin does. All his fish are model fish citizens now.

Love the fresh, sliced tomatoes as well. I made breakfast for my wife and I on Sunday and cut up a nice, fat, red tomato that I had just picked from our garden. It was SOOOOO good.

helping family and friends is what its all about. I wonder how much money you saved doing all this yourselves? And you know no one cut corners. I had some molding rot on my house after a relative short time and replaced it myself and found they didn't zip tape those areas. I also replaced a few exterior lights and found they never applied the weather seals. also replaced an exterior door because water got inside the door and would freeze in the winter and had to body slam it to get out. during the replacement found the previous installer installed the J strips upside down so it would pull the water in between the door and the frame instead of channeling it out. ☹️

Hard to know until it's all gone but maybe around $30k so far

No , it’s my friend we visited in Pennsylvania a few weeks ago. He makes it with ghost and habanero peppers. He has a friend grow them for him. Next batch of peppers will be arriving soon and he’ll make the rest and then put the labels on the bottles. It’s really really good.

Sounds delicious! Does it have some heat or a lot of heat?

It has heat but not enough that I can’t slather it on but I’m not normal in that department. Come to think of it, in most departments as well.
 
Hey I just got this clam. What should I feed it?

Here is an updated picture of the tank.
