I am a female and my name is Melanie and I am a simaholic if I am not busy with my fishtanks :slfg:

My snails are floating around upside down under my duckweed eating it :slfg:

Gosh how did that happen. Only way I get rid of it is with the task manager

http://www.megic.1go.dk/dontclickeng.htm DO NOT CLICK THE ABOVE LINK UNLESS YOU WANNA GET SUPER IRRITATED. But the person that made it said that a computer geniuss will be able to stop it. I was unable to, except for when I used task manager to close the page. What it does is give you a gazillion pop ups and all you can do is click ok, you can't close it or anything until you clicked through all 100 of the errors So I read somewhere else that you can stop it with a demand, but have no idea what it might be, any computer geniusses out there that can beat this irritating link :facepalm:

That is what is suprising me, By reading their posts some of them seem very much more mature than the age they gave

Gosh there is allready a couple that suprised me :lol:

I tried looking if there was a similar thread but could not really find one anywhere. If there is one, could a friendly mod just merge it for me please :thup: I was suprised how many people I met when buying fish or getting plants and realising they are nowhere as old as I immagined them from reading their posts and so on, so I thought of starting this thread, you do not have to answer if you don't want too, this is purely for the nosey people out there like me :gigl: I was born October 77 so that makes me 33 years old

aww great :facepalm: I have been scratching snail eggs of the front of my tank's glass thinking its bits of snail that stayed behind if a fish attacked them or they fell down or something :oops: Got some more and won't scratch those off now :slfg:

oops wrong game, go ahead :oops:

aww sorry blueyes, its not easy losing a fishy :tears:

Thanks Sophia, Hubby said he would buy me a camera in a few months time, just gotta be patient now :happy1: I am speachless, I never ever thought any body would make a little drool face for my tank ever Thanks so much Josh, gosh a person learns a lot from what you see in other peoples tanks

I am still convincing my husband to allow me to drive there and back. I am night blind LOL so battle to drive at night. Hopefully we can come to some sort of agreement :facepalm:

I opened this last night and my daughter saw it. She said oooh mommy that is the doggy that played so nicely with me can we watch it. Unfortuanatly we have big gaps in our fence and gates and i have a cat that thinks she was a lion or tiger in a previous life, so I can't. Just thought I would mention that the little doggy loves kids

I will try and be patient :slfg: Hope your fish are doing better, gosh it must have been a shock to see I did some changes in my tank like you suggested, thanks for the suggestion

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Pets-animals/Fish/Aquatic-plants/auction-384232981.htm I got a little bit from hovmoller and love it, I tied it to my driftwood but would realy like some more, is this a good buy or could you suggest some place else. I tried Hollywoods Mt Roskill but they had none, the two Animates Botany and Manukau had none too.

:an!gry I hate when People treat their aqua children like that, I try to do just the best for my little aqua babies :love:

Don't be lazy its your fish's life that is in jeopardy. Do the waterchange, I suggest if you do take the sponge filter out to get an airstone or bubble wall. I myself have a blueplantet tank and have two bubblewalls because the outflow is not strong enough to oxygenate the whole tank. Your fish will love you if you do the waterchange and give them some oxygen. its also a good thing to thoroughly scrub anything you get from someone you don't know well. Like I said earlier its your fish's life that is on the line here.

Sounds like colic. Both my kids had it. I breastfed my daughter till 2 so you don't need to stop unless your milk is not strong enough and then you can also just subsitute with a bottle and still give a breast feed. We used to found that after the breastfeed we would hold her so that she would lay with her whole body on our arm especially her sore tum and then gently sway with her, she would drop off to sleep and then we would put her in her wedge on her side. I also put gripe water on my nipples before feeding, I took my time with feedings, winding every so often so it was not one solid feed. This all helped with my daughter, my son however was so bad medicine was required after each feed. It was special medicine we got from the pediatrician, then someone told us that his neck or back could be adjusted by a chiropractor as well and that sometimes helps. You will need to see what works for you and if you still battle go see a pediatrician and perhaps they could refer you or help you out. Just be strong, if things get too much rather put your baby down and go sit in a different room for a few minutes, sometimes its the best thing to do. You calm yourself and then you can look after her/him better and with a clear head. All the best for you, colic is not an easy thing to cope with

Is this any better. My back plants are against the back and have deep roots so I could only push the stones back a bit and take the less established rooted plants and plant them infront.

I agree I will shift them and take another pic later :thup:

an update pic. Not a good one, like I have said many times before I need a new camera. I will try taking a better one, once my kids are in bed and I can switch all the lights off

We just drove from one friend's house to the others delivering some fish. My husband and a friend went out fishing and caught 18 massive kahawai and 3 big snappers. We could not possible eat them all so we shared :thup:

Had a super duper cool day so far :slfg: Just came back from Hollywoods fishfarm Mt Roskill and I bought the nicest driftwood I have ever seen (its soaking in a warm bath now) and three slate type stones and a new background :thup: I am so excited can't wait to get started on my tank

I picked up my 3 little zebra loaches from Hovmoller, they are so cute, very active little fishies and a pleasure to watch. Before that we went to Clevedon farmers market to buy some fresh produce and then shopping.
