I miss the days of "yay my ooth hatched" now its "oh , another ooth hatched", unless its a species im really desperate for!

Oh well, good luck and have fun with them!

lol sorry to hear that

Its not that i dont like having them hatch, its just under the circumstances which im now living in i dont have time or space for many species. A good example of an this would be the day before i moved to university, a lobata ooth hatched, giving me 100 little nymphs. All i could do was put them into a 1ft cubed tank and throw fruit flies at them until i ran out (which wasnt long as i had lowered the number of colonies in preperation for the move)

So when i got to the AES show, (i bought them with me) I was just giving them away! I offered them freely to people and people thought i was wierd, so in the end i gave them all to graham smith as i needed to go.
