Possibly but it was meant as a joke and if people go off on religious tangents I will have to remove it and send myself a warning. :tears:

The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Royal Commission for Political correctness announced today that the climate in the UK should no longer be referred to as English weather. Rather than offend a sizeable portion of the UK population, it will now be referred to as: “Muslim Weather” - (partly Sunni, but mostly Shi’ite)

You won't have any idea what it was without a thorough dissection - which is unlikely. It could be any number of things, including one of them being whacked a little hard with the net when being caught, or being injured in some way during the process of catching, bagging, transporting.

I hate how my tank looks - I need some inspiration please!

A quicker way is to pour a bit of vinegar on the rock. If it fizzes, don't use it, unless you want the pH to go up. -
+1 what hovmoller suggested.

A very poorly arranged room. That sofa should be right in front of the tank, not beside it

Blackouts work for cyanobacter, not green water.

I bet that's what the people of Christchurch used to say!

Just because you got eggs does not mean you have a pair. Females do not need a male to produce eggs.

I was talking to a lady last night who said her dad was never the same after returning from the war and it ruined his life. He would never talk about it, got severe depression and became an alcoholic as a result. It is sobering to realise how young they were - some only 15. A lot of the fighter pilots, and ground forces, were still teenagers when they died for their country. We will remember them.

Good also to see the angels getting to know each other on top of the tank How safe are these stands in a quake? With no cross bracing, surely they will go sideways and collapse or are the cupboards enough? :gpo2: :nfs:

Heat the room A dehumidifier will get rid of moisture. Good lids on the tanks will also help Have you considered what you are going to do with all the offspring?

I have found blackout works well for cyano but it must be a total blackout and don't feed the fish during this time either. The plants will cope with it for that short a time. Whether it comes back again depends on the cause which, as said, needs to be corrected.

I'm with Ira on this one, I would have thought you could throw the old media into the new filter.

'He kept catching on to plants and getting stuck but since I've rearranged the tank to make it disability friendly he's been absolutely fine.' Is it wrong to laugh out loud when reading that? :dunno:

aaannndddd... most importantly, 31 July is St Neot's Day. He is apparently the patron saint of fish! Perhaps we ought to hold a St Neot's Day competition and get members to post their fish related stuff on the day - be it baking (cooking fish or fish shaped goodies), art, craft etc.

and don't forget good old St Andrew

Mushy peas are awful!!! We tried them when in the UK. :sick: We will have Dragon Pie (it's actually Shepherd's Pie but Dragon Pie sounds fancier and more appropriate for St George)

We have 2 Main Coons where I work. If Morris stands on his hind legs I think he could rest his paws on my shoulders. They can streeeetch a looooooooooong way!

Mini Tripple Choc Muffins with Gooey Caramel Centre
Caryl replied to TenyTinyKaz's topic in The Off Topic Fishroom
Not chocolate but it does have a gooey centre - of lemon curd. Triple Lemon Cupcakes, sprinkled with lemon jelly crystals... -
Small doses of salt are often used as a "tonic". It is not something I do myself but many others do, routinely.

I can't imagine what it must be like to have to keep moving, for whatever reason. We built our house in 1979 and have been here ever since! The thought of packing up gave us the horrors so we just added on :thup:
