Anyone here speak - or more importantly, write Portuguese?
Don't know if I trust friends, might get the poor guy in trouble. Phrase: "Hello ma'am, how are you?" Translation: "Por favor, posso apertar o seu peito? Eles são muito simpáticos e alegres. Gostaria de lancha deles." Although translating back into english google appears to lose the boobs and motorboats references...

I'm sure they would too, but who is going to pay for it?

Smallest heater
I thought masterpet ones were the ones that ARE supposed to be emersed,but not immersed? I think I've had a couple masterpet ones immersed over the years, they seem fine just get a bit of condensation inside, just like all of them.

Take him in the shower with you.

Macrocapa ok for a tank???
So, great for birth control in a guppy tank, maybe?
-
overstocked?
You need to get rid of those horrible round stripey things so you can free up some space for some nice fish.

wet pets
Huh, I always thought their prices were pretty reasonable. Most FW fish are pretty cheap anyway.

6 litre nano
A couple weeks if you're lucky, iirc.

outlet pipe
Find something meshy, cut it up, silicone, epoxy, super glue it on. Just about anything will work.

wet pets
Best place within driving distance of Wellington.

outlet pipe
Yeah, I had a 20mm, iirc, pipe in my marine that was the overflow for a 6000lph pump.

Teflon Toxic to Birds?!
There's a lot of that on the internet. "Feed your fish frozen food without defrosting it first and they will DIE! Range check your RC plane at 20 paces instead of 30 and you will crash and KILL SOMEONE. Charge a lithium battery inside and it will burn your house down and KILL YOUR KIDS! Let your cat near your kids and it will EAT YOUR BABIES! Drive 5 kph over the limit and you will MURDER SOMEONE!" And so on.

Chloramines, Chlorine & Ammonia in tap water
I use rainwater, only additives to my water are bugs, leaves and bird poop.

PUFFERFISH in the news
Relation to what? I don't think any of the ornamental FW/Brackish puffers carry the toxin. I vaguely remember that the marine ones that do, in the wild, lose it in captivity.

Look what the weather dragged in
Anyone see a resemblance?

PUFFERFISH in the news
Tetradotoxin, which is found in pufferfish, is only produced by a bacteria. It is not produced by pufferfish, blue ring octopus, etc that simply store it.

PUFFERFISH in the news
Yeah, it can be. There are thousands if not hundreds of thousands of species. Most are harmless, many are quite helpful.

4D Scan Pics
Sooo...What is the 4th dimension? Because as far as I can see it's still a 2d representation of a 3 dimensional object. For example, this is a 2 dimensional representation of a rotating 4 dimensional cube http://www.bvs.hn/Honduras/SUN/SUN2008_archivos/Misc/Logos/hypercube-rotation.gif

Question for FX5 owners
I'd just rubber band some filter wool around the filter intake. Clogs up pretty quick and looks ugly, but only takes sticking your arm in the tank to remove it and rinse it out. Edit: I don't mean as a long term solution. Just short term.

how long do frozen bloodworms keep in the freezer?
Indefinitely. The only reason they'd be going "off" is if the container isn't quite sealed, but then you get freeze dried blood worms in with your frozen ones. So it doesn't exactly matter.

4D Scan Pics
Ok, so why are they called 4d scans?

Still nope, some kinda naked monkey thing. It's not a malamute, that one is a Klee-kai.

How to feed your bottom feeding fish like plecos
I prefer to just cut up the courgette, boil it for about 5 minutes in the microwave(Realistically, put in microwave, set for 5 minutes and then remember it half an hour later). No need to worry about weighting it down, no fluffing around trying to poke pellets into it, just throw them straight in the tank.
