If anyone is considering entering shrimp, the cut off to register is this Sunday. ? Interstate postal entries accepted, and shrimp entered can be auctioned on the day if you do not want them shipped back. For those who can attend on the day, there will be some stunning shrimp on auction, sensational sponsor special offers (lol), and just generally a great opportunity to catch up with other shrimp folk. Look forward to seeing some of you on the day!! ?

I found out the hard way that with most mosses (as they prefer cooler temperatures) that if you have them in direct sunlight outside this way - even only for an hour per day - they'll turn to brown goop. If you want to keep them outside keep them under 70% shadecloth and never allow them to get direct sunlight - I'm trying that now and it seems to be working. Obviously if you are keeping the mosses in a lot of water (deeper ponds, for instance) then getting direct sun should be okay as the temperature will stay a lot cooler and more stable. I know someone who keeps mosses in old bathtubs under thin shadecloth and they seem to be fine that way. Just so long as the water won't get too hot the mosses should be able to be kept outside without issues - most varieties would probably prefer it to a heated tank, actually.

Am I hearing something about a new DIY thread to help newbies out?

@newbreed is still cleaning the 'biofilm' off the front glass...?

I just told my non-shrimping good friend about the National Championship coming up: He exasperatedly asked whether we make them fight at the championship?! ????
