CPD fry and others eating microworms Boss Dario ‘hunting’ microworms. The first one you see is the more deeply coloured male, he patrols the bottom of the tank. Then I go to find the other one, he's buried in the moss. He's eating too, then gets chased away by the first one even though the Boss doesn't hang out in the moss at all. He just likes to know he's in charge :gigl: .

everyone eating microworms

I didn't see those till you mentioned it. They look like eggs.

have a look at the pics in my loach tank link in my signature for some examples - it started as sand, now it's got a layer of gravel then sand over the top as I thought it was more like a riverbed than plain sand. The plants do fine in my opinion, though I haven't tried the species you are looking at.

Morning McRash how's your....rash....? :happy2:

:nfs:

cream's in a bowl on the side - what you see there that looks like cream is white chocolate dipping sauce. !drool: We were going to eat all of it but thought better of it. This morning I am still a little full and my stomach area feels tired like it's been working out :sml2:

haha cool

Neil the eel :rotf: buy him and save him from that poxy little tank

save the cories! Seriously though if you don't want them I'll have them - I was thinking of getting 1 or 2 for the loach tank again. PM me if you want to rehome them

I think fish know when they have a foody visitor. Those that live with them all the time are just the other villagers. Though Caryl I bet some probably do get eaten. I think pond fish with a constant source of food would graze like cows.

hahaha this is great. 'Diagnosis by forum' or 'It takes a village to raise a rash' what news McRash? You should see the reaction within half an hour, otherwise it's probably not strictly allergic/contact dermatitis. Once I tried to do this with something I can't remember - some plant or other I knew gave me a rash. I actually scratched my arm with a pin and rubbed the stuff in and nothing happened. :sml2:

This is pud tonight - chocolate had to be splatted on hence the poop on the right side of the plate, this isn't Masterchef you realise... Anthony, am saving you a piece..... not

raining again :yaw2: :yaw1: :yaw2: :yaw1: :yaw2: :yaw1: But luckily I am diverted by cooking - got a roast veal about to go in the oven, then a pavlova to decorate. I made the one from the Edmonds egg to test it out, seems to have worked out quite perfect. Top has a few sugar crackles is the only thing wrong. Topping is going to be white chocolate dipping sauce drizzled on first with sliced fresh cherries and blueberries with melted milk chocolate drizzled over that. Whipped cream on the side so that my masterpiece doesn't get ruined except by the chomping. And dinner as early as possible to give ample time to digest before bed. :happy2: could the angels have knocked off the cories? or the BNs attacked the cories? My BN was very grumpy with my peppered cories so he got the boot

like gladiators in your own tank

:sml1: :spop: don't forget you need to do one with all of mixed in, incase it's the combo that sets you off :digH:

I get :an!gry when more than 1 mystery death - what have you got left?

it's you :sml2: Happy New Year and I hope you all have a suitably prosperous and fishy 2012 :spop:

is that your angel and peppered cory tank?

true too With me I don't get a reaction from the irritants all the time, so I gave up trying to find the cause.

or just keep doing what you're doing, change nothing, and take an antihistamine if it gets too itchy. I get that sort of rash from gardening too, and some foods give me a puffed up lower lip. Not muffins though, thank goodness.

Breeding box mark 2 Tank 1 - found another CPD fry today, so that's 2 out of 13 eggs survived so far.

I like the one of them play fighting best - the expression on the one on the ground is hilarious

:sick:
