I flew with a turtle as hand luggage once (oh wait, no I didn't, it was an axolotl). Thise collapsible insulated picnic bags are ideal.

I know they have this reputation but all the tiger barbs I have kept over the years have been calm and peaceful members of the community. Never seen a bite or nip in, or from, any of them :dunno:

Out of the tank mates, I would suspect the fire eel.

They say the 2 dead was incorrect and it is still only 1. I was surprised it hit a mall, they are usually attracted to caravan parks it seems to me :roll:

Possibly the biggest problem you may have is if the water tank is made of concrete. The pH will be high (unless it has been well coated with sealant) - great for African cichlids In summer, if you have to be careful with water useage, it might be difficult to perform water changes.

Get a large container into which you can put the water, add treatment, then tip into pond. Normally I would say small top ups wouldn't hurt but if the chlorine smell is that strong, and you never know what else is in the water there at the moment, I would err on the side of caution and use treatment. I would gather rain water too if you can.

I am curious to know how they manage to continually break washing machines. What are they doing with them??? My first washing machine lasted about 15 years before rusting out, thanks to Napisan and other chemicals. My second was still going strong when I gave it to my son when his old one died. I am still using the third which is about 10 years old now.

Missed it. I am sure I can download it. He is a great author who has been diagnosed with Alzheimers Four years since diagnosis and he is still going strong though! :happy2:

Easy - if it is female, it is probably pregnant! :slfg: Males have the modified anal fin (called a gonopodium). Like the fins on these mollies. Top fish is female, bottom is male...

I am sure someone has been organised to write an article - with pics - for the AW so we can all see

Is it bothering anything? If not, leave it. You may find it will die off in winter.

and you wouldn't dare call her a pest either (at least not in her hearing)

If you hover your mouse over them it tells you what most of them are The fish is a deaf fish, not a dead fish apparently :roll:

Thank you all. If anyone has anything further to add it would be appreciated. I think you are on the right (cowshed) track :thup:

This is apparently a kiwi saying when asked "Where are you going?" It supposedly comes from a TV advert. Can anyone remember the ad and what it was for? I suspect it was Murray Ball and Dog and it is ringing a bell but I can't remember what the ad was selling. Anyone remember? You will have to be as old, or older than me I suspect :sage:
-
I had a friend who did the same. She used a pedestal sink (with taps) over the bath so the sink overflowed into the bath.
-
I'm sure they can. That doesn't mean they will be accepted into the country they were shipped to

I thought marines needed MH lights and they were expensive to run? -
Remind Dena to take some Girl Guide biscuits!

The same thing happened to one of my common BNs too. Seemed happy enough but got fatter and fatter. No other fish were affected.

You have to factor in the ongoing running costs too which are much higher for marine than freshwater :roll: -
Some clubs have their own library of fish books members can borrow

... and a big grin on his face :lol: The two of them will have already built a huge pond up there too :roll:
