January Meeting 1/14/12 @ 6PM! - OFFICER ELECTIONS!

Beau is hosting the January Meeting this coming Saturday the 14th at 6PM.  It will be BYOB as well as a snack to share and raffle items are always welcome.  It has been requested that there be “NO SHOES” on the carpet due to it being a whitish color.

He doesn’t have a tank to view but we will have plenty to discuss in hopes that it will get the NEW YEAR off to a good start.  The annual membership fees are due, so now would be a good time to get them in to our Treasurer Stacey Hahn.   Fees are $20 per individual or $25 per family

Attendance was low at the election meeting in November and no votes were taken at December’s meeting so we have decided to take votes for anyone that didn’t get the opportunity in November and will be attending this meeting.  
We will add the votes to November’s ballots and the announcement will be made during the meeting so we can go forward.
NOMINATIONS:
President:  Jim & Nacho
V. President: Ed, Bo & Daniel Leigey
Treasurer: Stacey
Secretary: Carmen & Angie

Let’s hope the New Year brings new members, returning members and new ideas.  The club is always willing to take suggestions to get the most out of the hobby we all enjoy.

Please PM Nate C. by clicking here for directions if you are not a club member.  

Club members can click here to go to the club member only forum to get directions.

Hope to see you all there!

Anyone ever hear of these?  They are comparable to the harlequin shrimp but don't live of just starfish.   I may get a pair and see how they fair.  I still have those pesky little starfish in my tank so I need something to fix them.  here is a link from live aquaria.

I don't know how safe they will be Angel with your Engineer Gobies and your clowns they may eat them??? Do you have a Linkia star fish? I have heard but can't prove they will dine on parts of Linkia starfish.. Hope this helps good luck I too have those pesky little starfish i claen as manny as i can during water changes "hose victoms" but they always seem to be on the glass eating algea.

In talking to Rick these little ones are the bad kind that dine on corals.  The little grey and white ones that seem to just multiply and multiply and not really do anything else.  I hadn't thought about the Engineer Gobies or the clowns bothering them.  They never bothered my skunk cleaners or my peppermints though.  Hmmm might have to do more research.  Thanks

Yeah they are bigger, and I hadn't thought about the size theory there!  Cheesy   I did find that my LFS has Harlequin Shrimps so I may go with one of those. :twisted:
