» Website Changes Underway

Hello fellow DIBSians! We have begun to merge the Project DIBS website with the Reef Stewardship Foundation website. This exciting merger should lead to more discussion opportunities and an easier to navigate website. We may experience slowdowns or website downtime late at night, which we will try to minimize.

We are happy to announce that we have partnered with MOFIB on a joint breeder challenge for Sexy shrimp, look for more details in the Sexy shrimp Breeder Challenge forum.

The fish just arrived this morning and the bags are currently floating in the main system. I am about to go downstairs and start... [Read More]

Went and bought water and baby food today, we are all stocked up and are planning on hunkering down at home tomorrow. The bad part should be... [Read More]
