Caryl

Here he is 2 years ago... He is now 4 years old.

I know his cere looks brown now but it used to be blue and considering how well he talks he is definitely male! He doesn't eat the cardboard, just flings it about. You can't leave books lying around and there is not much cover left on the phone book :roll:

This was an ordinary box of tissues until someone decided it was tasty... "It wasn't me, I didn't do it!" Here is all that is left...

It isn't the shipping cost that is the problem, it is the quarantine.

Hmm I think I see a photo opportunity on Sunday

I had an algae eater do this once (and a BN) and they both exploded in the end Never worked out what was wrong and all other fish were fine :-? Sometimes they will get a pinecone effect due to the amnount they are swelling, rather than dropsy. If dropsy, the pinecone effect will be all over the fish, including along the top. If swelling for another reason it will mainly be the stomach area only. Try feeding cokked, shelled pea or giving it an Epsom salt bath in case it has a blockage.

Should we buy another vehicle again for him to drive down to keep him away from the cake? :-?

Box filters work well too. Leave the lid off so the fry don't get stuck.

Wow I think I can smell it cooking!! :bounce:

It isn't so much the volume of water but the stocking levels of fish in it

Welcome and good luck with the guppies

I hope the kids didn't mind their pictures being shrunk Tsar :-?

We did the underwater laboratory several years ago and loved it. Also went down inside the Mt to the power station. Very interesting too! Great pics bdspider.

She might be little but she can be mean too! :lol:

Awwww! Lil is a good name :lol:

I would but she has a pointy stick!

For what it's worth, I couldn't be bothered correcting the mistakes and was at work at the time so just copied and pasted as it was :lol: I agree with Ira and the usage of commas as well as the word and. There is a time and place for both. An English professor wrote the words, “Woman without her man is nothing” on the blackboard and directed his students to punctuate it correctly. The men wrote: “Woman, without her man, is nothing.” The women wrote: “Woman: Without her, man is nothing.” See, punctuation is important As kids, we were not allowed to play inside, unless it was raining. I was 8 before we even got a TV. We were on a farm so why be inside when you could be outside climbing trees, playing in The Pit with the Tonka trucks, making boats to sail in the creek (and they usual sank in the middle of the water with us in them), firing dirt clods at your sister's tin roofed playhouse when she was playing in it, collecting birds eggs and racing all over the neighbourhood with the other kids.

Nice fins Rox!

Thank you. Had plenty to write about but less articles as the ones used were longer than usual. Had to bump an even longer one over to February's edition! Could do with more articles please Several clubs have had/are having tank crawls. If yours has not been featured yet - get writing and snapping pics please! Who has set up a tank recently? How did you do it? What have you put in it? People like to read these things and get ideas.

Ha! Perhaps it wasn't an earthquake - it was just those corys getting jiggy wid it! :lol:

If you have a tank set up with a lot of plants, few fish, and really good filtration, you do not have to do as many water changes. As most know, I only do water changes once a month at most (and more usually once every 3 months).

It is a BIG cake wok, you could halve it

Grant and I would love to attend (and would happily make the trip down) but we already have two events on that day and evening :roll: Please eat at least 5 food items on our behalf

I almost held yours to deliver personally at the exec meeting but did not want to jeopardise my chance of getting a piece of chocolate cake

Welcome and happy fish hunting. :bounce:
