  1. sell it all and take a step towards stamping out the debilitating illness of Multi Tank Syndrome worldwide :cofn:
  2. I haven't used that but have used other marine epoxy/resin/fibreglass preparations. You have to make sure it is properly cured so that all the solvent has disappeared.
  3. Done a bit messy but we get the idea I hope ...
  4. it's possible you are to blame....... but I didn't really need an excuse for more minifish :slfg:
  5. Belgianbiscuit, you seem to be getting advice on this in a couple of threads, would you like us to combine everything in one??
  6. CPD pair 1 have finished doing their time in the breeding box and pair 2 have moved in. Well I think they are a pair, sometimes hard to tell if the male tail fin is not extremely dark. No eggs on the tank floor yet. To reduce the water level water can I lay the sponge filter on it's side? I presume it will still work ??
  7. Also I believe sweet potato as referred to by Americans and English is more like the orange flesh/beauregarde type kumara than red skin/yellow flesh type that is more common. The orange one is easier to digest and is more moist, less fibrous.

    The What's Up? thread.

    my husband has decided that fire bellied newts are cool and that we should get one or two .... those of you who have Beloveds who, like mine, are a bit iffy about pets, this is most excellent news :bounce: gotta think a bit and plan first so don't anyone ask for pictures yet or you will be :tears:
  9. this is going to be great .... it's great now even :spop:
  10. I think they are these little pygmies - corydoras habrosus - such cuties :love:
  11. salt and pepper and peppered are different I think they come in to the shops from time to time but I don't see them often
  12. does this mean he will eat other people or others will eat him?
  13. do you have any ice cream containers? You might be able to cut bits of it and cover up the sides by attaching with a cable tie or nylon. If you put it right in the corner then you might have to only cover 2 sides. Could put a thick layer of moss on the bottom so the water still circulates.

    The What's Up? thread.

    I'm having a break 'helping' my husband fix the back brakes on the car. The experience turns out very much like this, only not pleasantly addictive, well not unless you like working on cars
  15. Update Tank 1 - 5 gold/sunset mountain minnows, 2 males and 3 females. Acclimatised very quickly and have been eating like hogs. I made them a bushy end for nookie and egg laying, and made an area for feeding that would be easy to clean. They spend time in both places and have learnt to feed off the bottom which is like a mirror so was confusing for them to start with. They appear to be doing all the right things so fingers crossed I see some fry one day. Update Tank 2 - 1 pair of CPDs in the breeding box. I picked my young male who has very dark marking in his tail and the best female I could catch. I dropped the water level as far as I could without leaving the filter out of the water and put some moss 'wallpaper' around the edges to give a bit of privacy. Will see how many eggs and fry I can get out of these 2 before my next project arrives....
