  1. sympathy That makes sense although there used to be a set of rules at the start of this game that disallowed words ending in rd.
  2. And the game stalls again. It's a good idea to use a word that ends in two letters that can actually be used to start another word. Do you know of any words that start with rd?
  3. 5 shmive. If it didn't cause damage then it doesn't count
  4. That's not an addiction, that's a requirement
  5. 1: Earthquake 2: Letterbox 3: Gas bottle Things happen in threes so it's all over now, you can relax
  6. Do you mean the kind of app that Stephen Fry mentioned on Top Gear a couple of seasons ago? :lol:
  7. Could there have been eggs from other fish stuck in the plants? Maybe Danios?
  8. :bounce: Sweet, what a cool thing to come home to
  9. There's a cool free app called 'Free App Tracker'. It lists free apps and you can filter it by category.
  10. The two games I mentioned are free, Harbor Master and Tesla Wars
  11. Hi all. I've recently got into the world of Apple and I'm using an iPad. I just love the variety of fun apps that are out there. At the moment I'm really enjoying 2 games in particular, Harbour Master and Tesla Wars. What cool apps do you use, games or otherwise.
  12. Congrats. I have CPD fry too and they are sooo small.
  13. I find dark substrates are better for showing the colour of fish.
  14. Put a net over the filter outlet when you switch it on to catch the worst of whatever crud comes out.
  15. Nice fish 8) Turn off all others lights in the room and have only the tank light on. Also, take the pic at a slight angle to the tank rather than directly in front of it. HTH
  16. Man, that stinks. Don't they have traffic lights in Bulgaria?? It sounds as if we're in the same neighbourhood Alan, if you need a hand with anything just holler.
  17. Sorry for the loss dude....don't chuck in the towel, your fish need you.
  18. :lol: Shake it baby shake it Shake baby shake Come on over, whole lotta shakin' goin' on
  19. This is from the article I linked to.... When the parasite is visible to the naked eye, it is a nearly fully developed trophont which has burrowed under the fish’s mucus coating where it is protected from chemicals (medication). It has likely been feeding on the body fluid of the fish for several days and has swelled to many times its original size. At common aquarium temperatures of 75 to 80ºF this feeding stage lasts only a few days, at which point the fully developed cyst drops off the fish as a tomont. The tomont may swim for several hours before settling on and attaching to the substrate, a plant, or some other surface. During that time it is susceptible to chemicals and medication will be effective. Once attached, it begins its reproductive stage. It encysts and begins rapidly dividing. At this point, it is again immune to chemicals. Within a few days, hundreds of new organisms burst from the cyst, sprout cilia and start swimming in search of a host. These are now referred to as thermonts or swarmers, and they must find a host within a few days or they will die. (For this reason, we know that even an aquarium heavily infested with Ich would be “clean” and safe for new fish after only a week or two without fish in the tank.) Medication is effective at this stage. Once the thermont attaches to a host and burrows in, it is referred to as a trophont and the cycle begins again. Unfortunately, with each cycle the number of organisms in the tank increases dramatically.
  20. The white spots fall off the fish but will be in the gravel etc. I would treat the tank. Have a read of this article....... http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/ich.php
