I have a lot more pots to post pictures of, but that's it for now...

Hey Everybody,

I haven't forgotten about pix of the other pots, but wanted to share these real quick. Don't be too hard on the photos...they are through a screen, a dirty window and about 25x zoom.

I knew last year and the year before that I had a squatter. Last year I thought maybe 2. This year I was thinking maybe 2 (so far). Seems like it's turning into a party though:



















^^^Weeeeelllllll, I just noticed #4 and marked it with the red arrows.

I like them!

I love it!

You need a sign that says something like "Bugeaters Only Pool Area".

Not sure whether I do or not, but they do not seem to cause any issues with the plants, so I'm inclined to leave them be...

That's my main concern: They they are eating all of the plant food!



Just some more pix:

A2, Dente, Creasted Petioles, Royal Red:



Slim Snapper, Korean Melody Shark, FTS Crimson Sawtooh (?):



B52, Pink Venus:

What's very odd with this pot ^^^ is that after a rain...there was a sudden die-off of the Pink Venus. Also, major damage to certain types in 2 other pots. Not sure if it was from all of the pollen in the air, or a super acid rain, or what. At this point I am still not sure of the damage: It seems as though there was certainly a leaf die-off, but some of the rhizomes are ok and producing new leaves. VERY strange to me...



Red Piranha, Vigorous, FTS Maroon Monster:



Seed Grown, Czech Giant, Jaws:



Royal Red, ETNA, Cupped Trap, FTS Maroon Monster, Big Mouth:



Grun, Bristletooh, Big Vigorous, Spider, BZ Razorback:



Crossed Teeth, Fine ToothxRed, Longred Finger, Shark's Teeth, Fused Tooth, Justina Davis, Low Giant:

This is another pot that sustained damage from the rain. The FTxR, LRFs, Crossed Teeth, etc all had a major die-off of the leaves. They are coming back, BUT they looked very good before...


Decided to give myself a visual list/reference and Lettered the non-experimental pots. Won't do much good come spring of next year when I repot and separate larger groups of plants into their own pots, but will work for now:



Also, at this point I am not sure what I am going to do: However, I am and have been thinking about building and transferring all of this to a 2" x 10" (or 12" or maybe 8") by x Ft setup 3 pots wide...and turning the Planter Bog into a Tilapia grow-out setup...add 4 more courses to the Planter area, a pond liner....really would not be too expense or too much work. But, again, not sure what I am going to do. Too many unrelated ducks to try to get in a row over here, so I'll keep tossing it and other things around...
