June 29, 2025: Freshwater Collecting Trip

If you haven't done so yet, please sign up if you plan to join us. Deadline to sign up is Wednesday, June 25, 2025.

It will be a great day of fun in the sun potentially seeing (and maybe collecting!) rainbow, fantail, and green side darters, rosyside and blacknose dace, and numerous shiners.

Please be sure to purchase your license before the collecting trip. You will need the Non-Tidal Freshwater license regardless if you plan to collect or take fish home.

Looking for Cyprichromis Leptosoma

Anyone have any leads on Cyprichromis Leptosoma
Thank you

Raising the racks.

These were custom built for the previous house that had higher ceilings in the basement. The bottom tanks aren’t used as grow outs anymore due to downsizing. It’s too difficult to monitor breeding or catching fry in tanks on the floor so the decision to raise them was made. This is how it was done, keeping the 125’s and 180 in place. Bottom tanks were removed and 4x4’s along with 4 jacks used to lift the stand. The jacks would only raise it about 6-7” at a time. So cribbing had to be set up to hold the stand when jacks needed to be reset and raised about 3-4 times to lift them the 16”.

😆 there are already tanks on the floor underneath the stands to hold tub fish brought in from outside. But those tanks aren’t getting scaped to make it easier to clean and drain.

Fluval 107 Canister

It's free for parts. I don't know if it works; it doesn't have the foams and is missing the intake and spray bar but it does have everything else. Pickup in Gaithersburg.
