Value of spent tubs

do they taste as good as regular Gulf shrimp?

Hey Rafter,
I missed your post until GB quoted it. Do tell more about your patio aquariums and the contents. What do you raise them for?

I don't know. A big one is just over 1" long, and my fat fingers wouldn't be able to clean them.

That reminds me of the first time I went to Port O'Connor fishing. It was in the spring, and too early for croaker, so we fished with shrimp. I got home and was telling my father about it. At one point he stopped me and said "Wait a minute. You're telling me you had shrimp right there in your hand, and you put a hook in them and threw them back in the water?!"

The man loved his shrimp.

I started out keeping them just because I liked watching them in the aquariums with the fish, but now I have four different varieties that I sell. I ship them all over the continental US. I also raise and sell guppies and aquatic plants. I'm not getting rich from it, but at least the aquariums pay for themselves (kinda like the cattle).

I tried a few shrimp in my aquarium, but the fish made short work of them. I guess I didn't have enough stuff for them to hide in. One of these days I might get it set back up; had a CO2 dump and killed all the fish, so I shut it down. I think next time I will go with African cichlids, and not have any live plans.

They look like a wasp but build their nest out of mud and it looks like a tube. They don't sting

Oh OK. I know what you mean.

yes they do. How ya think they kill (paralyze) all those spiders they seal up for their young to eat?
You just haven't got one mad enough yet.

 

[Jeanne - Simme Valley]

They sting. They are just non-aggressive.

 

[Ouachita]

What do you call them? I've only heard them called mud daubers or dirt daubers.

 

[Jeanne - Simme Valley]

I never knew what they were called. Just mud wasps.
