It differs everywhere :roll:

I don't know what a starlight is but a white mouldy patch sounds like a secondary fungal infection. Possibly the fish has injured itself.

Mine are very heavy. Am off to see if I can break one (and hopefully not my foot in the process) 8)

Credit cards are good for scraping up cory eggs.

I enquired about fencing my pond and was told by two different council people that it didn't matter as the law was for swimming pools (for humans), and the subject of fish ponds was a grey area but they said I did not have to fence mine. Besides, if we can have 2 rivers running, unfenced, through the middle of our town, plus a gorgeous one through a popular park (with a children's play area right beside it) again unfenced, then I don't see why I should have to fence something on my own private property! :evil:

No idea of cost as it was done as part of the whole landscaping of the section plus redoing the verandah

If you're careful. I imagine they could be broken in half too. If I think of it tomorrow I will give it a go and see if I can get flat edges.

The limestone rocks here are all round. Slate is flat.

Will take another pic of it all tomorrow so you can see how it's growed 8) The bird bath is a plinth only as the bowl cracked and broke in half during a heavy frost The two climbers were also killed but have just started coming away agin I see. The tops of the hebes got hit by frost too.

Platys are FRESHWATER fish, they do not require any salt in their water. It will not make them grow faster either.

I haven't got any exams - hah ha de har har :lol: Plus I am sitting at work reading a book and the boss has just made me a cup of tea But my daughter graduates next month 8) She is expecting a graduation present apparently. Never mind :roll:

It could come right again. It may be a little weaker than the others so take a bit longer to adjust to the new tank or it may have been knocked about when being caught.

and yes they will die.

It varies a lot from place to place. What size and colour are they?

Whatever someone will pay

Depends on how much you sell them for each

I did that too, it was clipped to the back of my trousers and fell off when I stood up :roll:

Cladophora (I think) It is a very long filamentous algae

baby brine shrimp. Buy shrimp eggs and hatch them. Not necessary with goldfish

Yes caper. They were in boxes and inside the boxes each animal was stuffed into a tied up sock. They were not well at all

No

poor things. At least they were all rescued and survived the socks

They are small and the tail can grow back.

It will clear. Time to do so depends on the type of filtration (if any)
