Mel

Sorry those picture came out rather small, I'try again...

Can anyone please tell me the names of my fish also the sexes .. sorry I couldn't get some good pictures of some. could only get the bum end of this fish I especially want to know what this one is Many thanks for those who can help.

My gosh it has just taken me 3hrs of reading a whole 37 pages of your fight to save this wonderful park .. I am so happy that the park will get to stay open. I hope that I will get to come up one day and vistit this amazing place. i wish you all the luck in the world with being able to carry on helping the many animals you've saved and cared for

Hi, I sell on TM and i usually charge actual postage plus packaging - packaging adds up and is expensive - bubblewrap, tape, cardboard etc...

I have a JEBO R390 it's great, easy as to work in. I find the filter system easy to access and keep clean. And it looks great setup with all my fish

HAHA is that why you wanted to try and swap them with me .. glad i didn't get them now

Yes you can indeed, but it just means ALOT of water changes .. hubby usually does 25% change each day & a full clean out at least every month. We feed Mr Turtle in a separate tank so the main tank doesn't get grubby to quickly. I will try and get some pictures up (if I figure out how to)

Mine seem to tilt slightly forward (head down bum up) when resting - i guess it depends on how far bum up they are.

Help, my shop that i buy my turtle food from has decided to discontinue his food .. so now I need to find somthing else to feed him (and qiuckly cause he's nearly run out). Has any one got any homemade recipes that I can try. But nothing to sqimish as I'm a big baby when it comes to live wriggling things. Thank you in advance. At the moment he gets JBL classic in the morning and fish mince at night (the mince is what is discontinued) I was thinking of making my own with fish, mixed vegies, turtle pellets then blending all together and freezing - any tips or other things I need to add, like extra caclium?? He is only 1yrs and abit fussy with his food.

Yes the tank is great i have the cold water guys in there, they are loving the height of the tank as the fans like going up and down .. well mine do anyways

Hi, I remember buying a hex tank from you on TM awhile ago .. and I know you've got afew fishes as I've been in your fish room .. what kind of non aggesive cichlid do you have. We are new with the cichlids, but I like the electric yellows and hubby likes the jewels any thing nice and colourful

Yes they are awesome birds .. but need alot of attention (or the liitle ratbag gets very loud)

Hi all and thanks for the welcome .. been looking in here most of the day, I found alot of really good advice.
