my Grandma used to say that if I was making a silly face and the wind changed, my face would stay that way. (cue smart comments>>) I think that is what happened to this pooch from Fluffington Post

yikes I haven't forgotten the day I whacked the ball into one girl's heel or achilles tendon and she went down face first. surprisingly she played the rest of the match those were the days that hockey was played on grass, real grass I tell you

I suppose that some fish must be able to digest it, for instance piranhas and their cousins, and fish whose diets can be made of dead animals rotting in the water from time to time.

We are waiting for the next season of Sherlock, I think Cumberbatch is quite good in the role. Other than that at the moment the only thing we are watching is My Kitchen Rules, Big Bang Theory and 2 Broke Girls. My husband likes the auction hunter shows as well but I'm usually on here or getting my stuff ready for work the next day when they're on.

tenellus tenellus will do OK if it's in the middle of the tank right under the light but it isn't a fast grower in my experience

Ambulia, crypts and narrow leaf java fern would be good in a low tech tank, I have these and they work well. You could put the ambulia at the back, crypts down the middle and/or front and the java fern on a rock or piece of wood as a feature. In a small tank the narrow leaf java looks more in proportion than ordinary java fern as the leaves are thinner. You'll need to trim and replace the ambulia from time to time but it will give you some height and hiding places. They'll also hide under the crypt leaves.

if you're really worried you could put a folded flannel underneath them I guess

I'm pretty sure I got open cell foam from para. Though their closed cell stuff is cheap and seems ok, it isn't fit for purpose like JaSa says

Check para rubber and ask them for aquarium or food safe sponge. A couple of years ago I bought the wide pored stuff from them and they had it in sheets like the picture. I don't think it's very common though, last time I asked they had just run out and it was going to be 2 weeks before they got it in again.

Happy Friday

Puppy!!! :nilly:

I like the last one best. In case anyone wondered

I do think they will cross breed the rest I'm not sure of

Alan, you're alive!

I have some of these and they are the hardiest & best crypts I've ever had. I don't think they are wendtii though, I think they had more pointy ended leaves and brownish veins. These are a little more rounded at the end and a deep green.

what she said :slfg:

Do you really want me to explain every word I have moderated? :yaw2: I don't think you do but here you go: Given that I can't remember every word I have moderated, I will explain that moderation is always about context. It's not always the word by itself, but it's the way it's used and whether it is being used to insult or disrespect. The tone of my comment to Caryl was not intended to be either. There was also a time maybe a year or more ago where the moderating of low level offensive words sparked a behind the scenes discussion about what words we should and shouldn't remove. I suspect it was during that discussion that we decided not to moderate that word. If I'm wrong then I'm wrong and someone can correct me. I'm not going to apologise for being human.

I know there is phosphate in both my tanks as there is unpleasant algae of various kinds. :cry1:

have a look at this old thread.... are you up for this? viewtopic.php?f=28&t=39179&hilit=poly :spop:

no, I am alien

If you want to breed them seriously then fill about 2 thirds of the tank with moss and they'll spawn in and over it, and some of the fry should survive. I've seen them breeding in tanks FULL of moss but I think they also like a bit of swimming room.
