Busy Weekend

Hi Peeps <waves>

I have had no time whatsoever to keep this blog up to date and really want to apologize to those who keep asking for updates.

Everything is fine in the Fishalicious underwater world ;)   I managed to get a couple of wild caught Ramirezi's and am struggling to get them on frozen food at the moment.

I had a really busy weekend working at the Vivarium Beurs  (fair) 2009 in Utrecht - I was hired by a company to aquascape 2 tanks for their stall at the fair as well as help out.     I was a little worried about speaking Dutch and folks understanding me all weekend but it went well ;)

A short video showing some of the fair:

This was the stall I helped out at

It really was a fun filled weekend with lot's to do and see in the fishy world - Oliver Knott also did some live aquascaping and Christel Kasselmann came by and even said my tanks were very nice - that was me over the moon for the rest of the day  ;)

 

I also had the honor of being picked with one of the top 10 pictures in the photo contest  - it was brilliant to see one of my pics blown up as a poster hanging there - here were the entries:

I don't know if I have won yet as the public had to vote on their fave piccy...I doubt it very much but I was just really happy to see my picture up there - woot!

I fell in love with this moss tree

My fave tank had to be the saltwater tank with all the Clownfish

This fair looks very worthwhile visiting. The Clownfish are stunning and the photos capture them in all their glory. I recently stumbled across some really useful info. on Salt Water Aquariums presented by an Australian Marine Biologist.
