Bjorn; Thankk you and I am still feeling the effects of the show two
later. My two Glossolepis incisus are doing great their eating and
the colors are great. I feed all my fish live shrimp about three or
four times a week. The shrimp themselfs have been feed a hour befor
they are given to the fish also. I do not know what more I can say but
god luck. JiM C.

PS: I may have lost my mind, but I am going to be Show Chairperson next
year. I haven't told my better half yet, she'll may try to pull the
Baker act on me to get my head checked out. JC
