check yourself before you wreck yourself :spop:

what if she goes outside? :nilly:

what about the sport of eating chocolate? you can't really say there is a more interesting and enjoyable sport than that.

Don't forget the noise reducer so MrsC doesn't turn the pump off on you when she hears it burbling..... :sage:

the thing I learned about getting a tank built was that when I had one made that was an irregular length it was hard to find a light fitting for it. So if you are getting a fitting that sits on top, bear that in mind.

Mel, you are welcome to come and view my mini fish - rasbora and CPDs- if you want to see what they look like hanging out in a planted tank

the reaction I get cannot be simulated

I know I am not a SIM because I fart, therefore I am real. :rotf:

Anthony those are the most wise words you've ever said on here

I didn't see those guys in the morning when I was there.... unless they were in plain clothes.

awwww poor Cam... go cook yourself some eggs! :spop:

my fish suffer from over feeding if nothing else..... I will have a look at other wafers next time I'm at HFF. Which will be this weekend because living so close is just too tempting :slfg: The 2 skinny loaches must be dead, I haven't seen them for days and now only see the 4 fatties. I thought I saw one in a crevice of the tunnel that is accessible from inside and outside but haven't seen them since. I hope they have been eaten by their cousins and are not just rotting away and fungussy in there. I think I will get the dropper and blow some air through the crevices and see if anything floats out.

2 eggs, oven chips and boston baked beans for tea :love:

I will say that though they don't have substrate, they have tunnels and places to hide in but lots of the time they aren't in there anyway, they're out being snakey

I should think so

do it and take some photos for a change :sage:

I've tried taking photos but the light reflects off the surface and you can't see anything but me peering in with a camera. They look just like that photo but teeny and teenier. Like zooming grass seeds. If I catch them when fishing for fish food I always put them back because they are too cool to be eaten and some are too big for my little fishes' mouths.

conversation is right

I suppose now they will all die through being washed up on the beach?

It's the Common Sea Greeblie

You can see them easily. Some are 1mm big, the bigger ones are about 2-3mm. I'm definitely meaning ostracods, not copepods. Copepods are very tiny. These ones are like tiny water beetles zooming around.

those zombies are :sick:

Every year the FNZAS has a conference somewhere in NZ. It includes the AGM and usually some fun stuff and eating times. 2013 is going to be in Auckland.
