It`s almost bedtime for me.!! Poor Louis&Lestat I will turn off fishy bubbles this instant, didn`t know they got bloated, i`ve had them ten years, don`t want to lose them. Will feed them fish flakes only, and the odd livebait from time to time!! Thanks Bill.. the sleepy pj pixie x

Awesome pics!! Your tank is probably the same size as my house!! I`m green with envy. Ah, one day... Pixie.x

Never watch the soaps :-? I bet you do!! I watch Emmerdale and neighbours!! Coronation st drives me mad, your wife won`t know about mike baldwin then???

Ha ha ha! That`ll stick Peggy!! I do like slobbin` in me jimjams!! Ta for advice, think i`ll leave bubbles in me goldfish tank, me other little fishies have had enough trauma for their lifetime!!! luv, pj pixie!

My neighbour has just given me a bubble wall system for me tank!! I know my goldfish like em, but i`m apprehensive after my one or two disasters in me tropical tank:-? What do you think.? pixie.xxx

Lurve Lost Boys!!! Watched it soooo often i know it off by heart. Not seen the Underworld films yet, will have to wait for a weekend i`m not trancing!!! Blade series another i love, mmm!

No sharn, never thought of that(doh!) I worry i may stress my other fishies when chasing the beast round the tank!! will have a go. Best make sure my cat is out or she maybe thinking `lunch` teehee.

Got test strips, have been lucky, all`s well. Leaving it alone `til i can get bossy penguin out, he`s just too darn quick for me. Found out my loach is going to get very bossy too, got to find a way of removing him too! may get the man from the shop to help me there i think. Need a new home for the mollies so may have to invest in another tank! i need a bigger house!! wonder what`ll happen next on planet janet :roll:

Carryl you may have read this already but thought it pertinant to post here for all other beginners so they don`t make the same mistake!!! I got into tropical fish by mistake. I wanted a larger tank for my two goldfish, but when it arrived it was already set up for tropical as in heater, filter co2 system and gravel, so i thought i`d give it a go(as you do!) Set it up and added plants and left it running for a couple of days. Purchased fish, put them in the tank, non of this 30 mins malarky, just in, well i didn`t know!! within three weeks i`d bought: 6 neons 6 glowlights 5 harlequins 3 glassfish 2 emperor tetras(one of each) 2 corydoras 1 chinese sucking loach(Boris) 1 siamese fighting fish(bubble) All well. Fed `em daily. Did water change fortnightly, 2 buckets out, 2 buckets in,(after 24 hours standing) cleaned filter monthly. sorted plants. All living happily together Then someone brought round an abandoned mollie, had to take him in he was going to be flicked Looked lonely, bought him two wives, happy mollies They`re a bit like puppy dogs, all playful and bouncy. One died bought another, happy mollies :lol: Then 3 penguins turned up, were going to be flushed stuck `em in, seemed happy , got territorial, sent them to the shop.( the two i managed to catch that is, other one still in! Then friend bought me mr&mrs guppy(sweet!) Mrs guppy ate mr guppys tailfin off Sadly demise came when mr guppy got stuck in back of the filter mrs guppy left to live alone as punishment sadly got fed up and departed no more guppies Went away for a couple of days, came back to no Bubble(murderer in tank!) and four dead harlequins one lonely harlequin left. All been well since. Then i was given books! Arghh! Need to resit my chemistry exam methinks!!! How have my little fishies survived? I knew about chlorine and ph, but there`s loads a stuff i should`ve done and didn`t know!!(after all, how difficult should it be?) Want to get a new fighter and pals for lonely harlequin, but what if i`ve overstocked?? what if i shock `em into getting measles by my lack of knowledge?? Wish i`d never got books :-? Glad i have. Hope it`s not too late for my inmates!! :roll: My tank is a 30x16x12 filter a fluval2( had a cheap 3 but flow too strong, put it in goldfish tank. Have bought test strips, all seems well, but according to books no-one should be alive!! Eeek!! After you all finish laughing at my stupidity, :oops: :oops: sound advice needed! PixieJanet.xxx

Thank you so much for all your warm welcomes! It`s still flippin` too hot over here, even the rain was hot this morning!!! I wonder if your vampire is a fellow buffy fan??

I stand two buckets overnight under the tank table so it is room temperature when i change the water, that way the shock is less for the happy inmates I always use a de-chlorinater.

Wow! Photos are well nice. Recently lost my red Betta, miss him lots.

Hello Caryl, finally made it When teleporting is invented, you`ll not be rid of me!! England hot just now, summer will probably last another day or so, then it`ll rain until christmas Thank you for my Warm welcome

Greetings! I`m from Yorkshire/England. I got into tropicals by mistake and mistakes i have made many :-? :-? I refuse to be defeated and will be interested to hear all comments and advice to help me look after my little inmates
