So would you confirm the dimensions of the tank please Elaine?

It was very good! That python was amazing. I wonder if they get wind? :lol:

That quilt better be sold at a good price too as a lot of hours went into the making and hand-made quilts cost big bucks

Sid Smithies used to hang dead rabbits over his fish ponds for the same reason. the cat food was required pre-Bud

Always check your insurance policy covers both tank damage and damage to carpets, floors etc from the water if they crack. Not all policies do. We specifically asked if our policy covered the tank and they said yes. It never occurred to ask if it also covered the damage done by the water - it didn't. We had to lift, dry and re-lay a lot of carpet. Very expensive. Insurance policies often only cover done by "normal" water supplies eg burst mains, broken tap. They do not consider an aquarium "normal" :-? :roll:

Can we confirm the tank size please before we give too may suggestions?

They love maggots. I used to sit a bit of cats meat in the sun a while then wait for the maggots to hatch.

Do we win the lollies in the whole jar too?

They did the electrical bits on ours too :-? We didn't have the equipment for the heatshrinking.

Well I guess you have a lonely male looking for love :roll:

Are you sure the gouramis haven't made a bubble nest?

I wonder if it is an egg bound female. A tumour tends to stick out more one side or another I think. Have you tried the peas or Epsom Salts in case it is constipated? That is the first thing to try. If that doesn't help, then I think there is nothing you will be able to do for it.

Yes and yes

I also forgot the question was about Jebo and AquaOne tanks, not filters DUH :roll:

Thanks. I was pretty sure it was one of Reacher :lol:

Just the heat pad. Use it cos we could. No heaters in the tank so looks better aesthetically. Heat rises so pad is more efficient and heats whole base.

It isn't my fault you live on the wrong side of your country! We are going to Scotland.

I would put them in a plastic container like the 1kg barrels Marmite and peanut butter come in (if you eat heaps of it like us). No more than half fill it with water then tape the lid down thoroughly. Make sure it is well sealed then pop it in a bubble bag. I guess you could use a smaller container, depending on how many water boatmen you had (and if they were still carrying their oars ) With the change in parcel size and price it might pay to visit the $2 Shop or similar for a flatter plastic container. As long as you can make it water tight.

Plant it sideways :lol:

It is quick. A bit like transferring fish between tanks in separate rooms. Net fish, carry it through house, add to new tank. The same amount of time out of the water as it would be to photograph one. Fish are remarkably resilient and can cope for quite some time out of water.

OK, it was in some sort of book I read. I seem to remember the road being in the desert about 15 miles out of Las Vegas. They were burying bodies at the end of the road if I remember correctly :-?

Zyzyx. Was that the name of a road in one of the Lee Child books? I am trying to remember where I have heard it before.

When photographing fish in the wild on a fish gathering expedition they are often photographed out of the water. It only take a few seconds and doesn't harm the fish.

They don't need much. Three smaller pieces will be fine

If it's good enough for you, it should be good enough for your fish. I think it isn't corrosion that is the problem for some but copper pipes in older houses.
