  1. they are 3 months away from being deliscious seriously they are about 3 weeks i think
  2. thanks Nav big problem though is there is more than one of us in the head
  3. I’ve discovered the world’s best cure the elixir of life It’s elephant manure to give to the wife. It’s composed completely of natural stuff Just take a ball a day It’s usually enough In India it’s found in piles on the road A free take-away No charge for a load If you prefer your medicine not round but flat Get a Taller Elephant They land with a Splat If you run out of elixir give an Elephant some grass Wait for a while Eventually it will pass The amazing thing about Pachyderms as a species is not the size of the animal But the size of its Faeces Dressed in Pink Don't you think When your dressed in Pink That an Elephant with no nose would fast decompose. Well he couldn't eat No not with his feet. It would be of no avail to try and use it's tail With no trunk to squirm That large Pachyderm Would look very lean or might never have been.!
  4. i think you mean the african being more agressive charlie both species do not mix well sadly in the end i think some body may end up badly injured

  6. when in a group my male will have a go at the females and push them around a bit but not overly agressive the tank is 2.4 x .6m sustained mouth to mouth pushing would suggest 2 males IME male to female contact doesn't last too long that said .the dynamics in a group of fish can change depnding on the size of the area they are housed in and hidey holes etc also the personality of the individual fish comes into play, some are bullies some not
  7. if you are already running a canister on your current tank 1/2 the media between the 2 and run on current tank then go A
  8. it is true they will never go back to the wild also true is they aren't at the mercy of natural selection either so fish breed in aquaia that nature may have taken out of the genetic pool sorry for the off topic stuff lynnie :oops:
  9. not an expert but been round nature a long time know of rarer or uncommon species that have lost the ability to care for their young through generations of having their young taken from them prefer to let nature take its course and only step in as a last resort just my opinion
  10. yes it is exciting when your dream fish do their thing i find my brain goes out the window, lol a useful article here http://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.uk/p ... icle_id=98 Tim Holliday removes the female one week after first noticing they are holding
  11. hi lynnie, congrats one of my females is holding for the first time i am just letting her do her thing until i am sure she is carrying young then will seperate her i like my females to raise a batch or 2 by themselves, it is just a personal feeling but i think stripping females for the first few times can possibly lead to them not holding well in the future again it is just my thoughts good luck with her
  12. not good if a disease is found in the shipment
  13. the colour of an adult budgies cere is related to the health of the bird some males can brown off slightly if they are not in a breeding mood going dark brown can indicate a hormone imbalance
  14. proper brumation is a big key to fertility rate
  15. it is not the egglaying, it is the incubation, then the live food, then the time and costs of original investment that keep the cost up i don't bother as don't have the time for production of large amounts of live food and had a few end up in inexperienced hands. not good
  16. if you have little ones there must be big ones somewhere
  17. The claws on this guy were almost as long as he was!
