I'd like to get in on this as well, I have tons of zoos

I am just curious, are the zoos sent as loose polyps or mounted?

I'm in, Ive got some good eagle eyes to trade.
I have 3 frags ready and set off for this swap.
tell scribe if you want to be my partner then PM me.
So excited this will be great!

I think most people prefer that they be mounted on at least something small. I find it near impossible to glue a zoo polyp down so it will stay without it sliming it's way out. I've heard running fishing line through it's base and tieing it down is a good method for mounting loose polyps, but I've never tried it.

Mounted to rubble at least is best

you can see how I do it in the pic above. I mount by rubber banding them to rubble and letting them sit. I like mounting to branching rubble.

what size frags are we donig here? I can make small frags for many people or larger frags for 2 or 3 people.... lets decide on a size that everyone would be happy with (or maybe depending on the morph and the partner)

frag size is at least 5polyps

Were going with a minumum of 5 polyps. Once I pair everyone up, you can decide with your partner if you want to do bigger pieces.

Hi Scribe,

YGPM. I'm interested in joining in on the fun if everyone will let me :)

Are these what you would call brown zoos since the ring is brown? [IMG][IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y205/kidzatheart/blue.jpg[/IMG][/IMG]

My husband is wanting to join in on this but i need to know if these are what yall are saying no browns to. That way we will know how many we would have. He will be back later about joining.

I consider those a blue morph... brown skirt for sure, but the blue is nice...

Thanks Matt. I LOVE that ric in your avatar. I want one of those...lol.

Ok my husband wants in on this so i will PM info to scribe.

ive got either pink eyed zoo's or hot pink with green eyes. all will have close to 10 polyps or more. may also have a blue +green zoo depending on how the frag grows out.

I think "brown zoos" is a little too vague. as long as they're not all brown, I think that its cool. it's not easy to find zoos w/ no brown on them in some areas

I would agree with that although I was planning on sending really colorful zo's in my swap i.e. eagle eyes, fire and ice, peach eyes, etc., so it would be nice to get something nice and colorful back. I think if get the opportunity to decide from some options with the people we've paired up with then if they have brown in them and we decide on that, that's cool. Am I interpreting this wrong? I was thinking we could maybe select or at least let the people we trade with know what we have to trade and they would do the same, or was this going to be a complete surprise in the swap? Either way, I'm cool with it but I'll probably give my partners some choices if they would like. Let me know what you all think.

yes, maybe saying no brown zoo's is a little vague. some of my favorites have some brown in them. I guess what we are trying to say is no ugly/dull zoo's. only trade something that you would like to get in return.

True, no total browns I think is what we are trying to say. Those Pic's of the blue centers are fine by me.

I've bought some zoo's from Ahenson and got some great looking zoo's from him. I'd trade with him again but I think this time around, I'd like to give others a chance at his wares and trade with someone else. He's got some nice eagle eye's that I got along with some others tri color zoo's that are awsome. Thanks for the zoo's Andy.

I have Andys eagle eyes too--
Are they growing fast for you guys? Im only getting about 2 polyps per month.. most of my zoos grow faster than those....

The one's that were sold as eagle eyes that I have are slow growers, matter of fact, I don't think they have any new growth since I got them a few months back. I did get some that look like the eagle eyes but are a different color w/ gray bodys. Some are growing fast, others are medium growth. But they all look good.

Mine seem to grow at what I would consider a very fast rate...5 plus polyps per month. I actually moved 2 other colors to make room for them!

I have seen Stixbaraca's EE's and they are different than mine, basically the same, but longer skirts, tighter growing polyps too. I am amazed at how fast his grow! (under PCs too) I only wish....

:D I love them!

hey everyone, i was just wondering, do we really need the thermos now that we're waiting for the weather to cool down?
