We have just booked our accommodation, filled in and sent our reg forms off, and DC'd the money. :happy2: Looking forward to conference :bounce: Don't leave it until the last minute to book anything. See who you can share with to save costs - accommodation, travel etc. We will be driving up. If anyone needs picking up along the way it may be arranged

What temperature is the room? Because of our room temp, my cold tank is 32C :-?

stew How do you know he wasn't told off??

I seem to remember reading somewhere that sap wasn't good but I wouldn't swear by it.

and on a school night Joe!!! Tsk tsk

Have you ever looked in the "Members' Tanks" section?

All this ogling is starting to sound kinky!

If you take too many sea sick pills I fear you will just fall asleep and miss out on the fishing! I get sea sick sitting on the foreshore (I also threw up at the pictures once after seeing an inflatable zipping out to rescue the passengers from a crashed plane in the sea. One of the Airplane films I think, probably the original one) so you have my sympathies :-?

and flavour!

Pepper was left footed too.

Or perhaps it is because they are posted from your area??

It is not good to keep a tank empty. The silicone dries out :happy2:

I don't know as I have not kept kribs. Isn't there someone else who can answer this??

Depends whether you want to keep them all or not. If they spawn again I think you will find the other lot will be looked at as food.

I found the hardest time was at about 28 days :-? I think because I switched to too large a fish food and they died just before I could register them in the breeding scheme :tears:

I love the disco-ing turtle too :roll:

This tickled my fancy from the I Can Has Cheezburger? website...

There are a lot of people out there on bikes, and wearing lycra, when they shouldn't!

I started with A. scheeli. :bounce:

It is pure ammonia that is used and you can get it from a chemist. Some supermarkets may have it but most has additives, which you don't want.

The highest our personal weather station registered was 36.7C on the south side of the house in the shade. Grant is in nothing but shorts - haven't seen him do that for many years!

Should I be concerned about my cold water leopardfish, even though they are behaving just as they normally do? Their tank temp is now 32C. I know I can do water changes, drop a Slikka pad in etc but should I bother doing so since the high temps do not seem to be bothering them? It is 35.9C outside (though official temp, taken at weather station across town, says 33.2C. We get hotter here at our end of town under the hills). We only have aircon in 2 rooms at this end of the house, not the lounge where the 3 tanks are. The big tropical tank does not get so hot as it is surrounded on all sides, except the front, by a solid timber unit. Plus it has more water in it so is slower to react to room temperature.

It is 33.5C outside and my cast iron bath water is sitting at 27C in full sun. Another option is to dig a hole and sink the bath as far as possible below ground level. That will keep the water cooler too - as will the shade you say you will have. I filled a large plastic water trough (about 5ft diameter) an hour ago and its temp is already up to 19C.

Si will get annoyed at you all hijacking his thread
