what an odd creature

last 2 killie eggs are now hatched and in the netbox with their older brothers and sisters. Everyone is now reasonably free to move about in continually filtered water, which is obviously preferable. Looking forward to watching them all grow :bounce: My 1 CPD fry that I salvaged from water change water is doing OK in his sealed box (gets a water change daily) but I'm afraid to put him back in the main tank till he or she is a bit bigger.

:cophot:

welcome newbie To be honest, I have never had algae that came in on bought plants survive in my tank, I assume because in a different location the same conditions are not being replicated to their satisfaction. You have been given sound advice about how to get rid of the BBA but also considier that it may not thrive anyway as you won't be replicating the conditions exactly as before...different position in the house etc. Maybe wait and see if it tries to grow before doing anything??

He's going to take up knitting :ske:

Belated Happy Valentine's Day to you all from G.C.

I trained them to be little piggies :spop:

Today's update - in my mini minifish set up I was running out of room so I have rehomed the killifish adult pair to Aaron-Betta and I will now just raise the fry. There are 21 in total, not including the last egg with eyes and a new hatchling not yet swimming. Hopefully now that they are in a bigger tank with more room to forage they will grow a bit more quickly as these ones do seem to be slow growing. 8)

'Post' meaning at least it's over and now recovery, which is a whole 'nother chapter in life. I can't remember if you told us what it was for or if it's the sort of thing you'd write on here but I hope you feel better soon anyway.

I ran the half marathon and I'm still alive to tell the tale :dnc1:

thanks for also posting these in the photos section Sneaky2 what is flexi sheet?

I can't remember. I didn't notice them growing though they were bigger than the ones we caught the other day by the time the last ones died. If shrimp shed their skin when they grow then yes they did grow, many a time I thought I had a dead shrimp but it was only a shell.

some of mine lived over 6 months - the last remaining hardy ones from my original batch of 20 or so

they were simply warming him up ready so he was nice and tender for the chomping

enough said on that topic I think :sick:

Your mum will have been saving all your chores for you so you don't feel like you missed out on anything :cofn:

don't encourage him, he would do that and make it extra rattley :sml1:

:facepalm: :rolfl: I won't be hopping but I might be hobbling afterwards... Maybe so, but at the moment, and only because it suits me, I am following the teachings of Sri Chimnoy who thought that fitness goals being achieved help you ascend yourself. This rule cannot be applied to sick days from work though, there is no need to ascend yourself in order to go to work. My ankle has been almost 100% good today, I am well pleased. Got my official yellow running singlet too so now I will look like a real racing banana.

I'm supposed to be running my first half marathon event on Sunday and I have got myself a bit of a bung ankle during training. Please send all healing, happy and healthy thoughts to my ankle because I really want to run the race! :bounce:
