Well, several months ago (like 5 or 6) I bought a pepermint shrimp. It disappeared shortly thereafter . So I bought another one. I've had it for a good long while, but noticed it was carrying eggs the other day. So, on saturday I picked up another pepermint. As I was waiting to acclimate and place the shrimp in the tank, I decided to clean my powerheads etc. With all the pumps off I'm up cleaning stuff through the top of my tank, when lo and behold I notice a set of eyes and antenna coming up my overflow tube --I think to myself, what the heck, did my big pepermint crawl down in there for? So I rescued the shrimp. Then I started counting. Guess what? It was the pepermint that had disappeared months ago . It had been living in my overflow tube now for all that time and was larger than when I got it. It simply amazes me how adaptable the things we put in our tank can be. But I'm happy, and actually have three instead of two pepermints now.------------- Was that in there yesterday? Casper--WY windier than ? Down to a 20, soon to double or nothing |

Like your logo says, "Was that in there yesterday?" So what happened with the peppermint who was carrying eggs? Does that mean you'll have little 'uns? Okay, I'm sure they would become Scooby Snacks, or at least Sneaky Snacks. But do you think they'll hatch? ------------- Renee and Damon Weimer Tankless in Hawaii |

fingers are crossed and that's what we're hoping for.  ------------- Was that in there yesterday? Casper--WY windier than ? Down to a 20, soon to double or nothing |
