My Dr used to breed Birmans. Since stopping that they have bought 2 Maine Coon cats. They grow BIG and fluffy. Lovely cats

I love the way this thread has gone now for 4 pages but the original poster only visited here the one day and has never returned so not seen the ensuing discussion. :roll:

I love the theme song by Adele but listen to it, then play the theme to the Bond film Diamonds are Forever, sung by Shirley Bassey. Very similar!

I gather you did not quarantine the new fish then? That was an interesting article and if you are keen to try his method then we would like to know how you get on. Certainly sounds simple and saves buying meds.

You could also get white spot treatment. The temp raising only speeds up the cycle of the whitespot, it does not cure it. Do you know the cause? It pays to fix that too.

You are a few days behind... viewtopic.php?f=4&t=61469&p=663978&hilit=eels#p663978 and your sentiments are shared by many

I placed large barrels under the holes in the guttering Can't do that now as they just replaced all the gutters! Also can't take rain run-off from the roof after they have moss proofed it.

I thought Worf was a character on the Starship Enterprise

I wish! I didn't overhear the comments, I saw them written in a newsletter.

I seem to remember a lot of people in Palmerston North saying they got their water from a special tap (perhaps they have their own well?) at Wet Pets as the town supply was unsuitable for fish keeping. Can't remember what was in it though.

At what latitude do seals turn into walruses? If they're heading north, they're walruses. If they're going south, seals. :sml1: That was my favourite question and I love your answer :slfg:

...OVER-HEARD ON ANTARCTIC CRUISES ..... Why are they called the Seven Islands? How far round does the coast go? What happens if the water gets higher than my boots? Is the great Auk still extinct? Is this island completely surrounded by water? Is that the same moon we get in Texas? Is there such a thing as a female sperm whale? Are there any more undiscovered islands? What happens to an iceberg when it melts? Does the lift go up as well as down? Does the crew sleep on the ship? Do the Vikings still cause ethnic problems? At what latitude do seals turn into walruses? When we get closer to the pole does it mean it will be more difficult to open those doors? When we leave here, when do we start to move?

This is interesting as a number of years ago our club wanted to know if all pH kits gave the same reading. We handed out film canisters and asked all to attend the next meeting with samples of water, from tank(s) and tap plus any pH tests they had - strips, liquid, whatever brand. We also had a scientifically calibrated commercial pH probe. The kits ranged from brand new to many years old (and I mean around the 10 year or more mark for a few) and all, except the test strips, gave accurate readings that matched the probe.

Our recycling centre has a special bin for them. Do you have a centre near you? It is 29.2 here. No wonder the goldfish spawned. We also pulled out the 2 non-climbing climbers from the end of the pond and planted a Banksia rose and something I can't remember the name of 8)

My cactus flowered today...

It must be warming up as my goldfish started spawning this morning! :happy1: :bounce: :thup: :happy2: They did not spawn at all last season as it never warmed up enough &c:ry Grant has cleaned out the filter and got the waterfall running again (we turn it off over winter as it clogs too often).

So he's the full Monty then? :gigl:

New World In The Morning - Roger Whittaker

Andre was a gentle giant

I went back to the old as I couldn't find anything in the new. I then got an email asking me why I preferred the old layout so I replied that the old did everything I needed and I knew my way around it. They then asked if they could ring me to discuss it and ask questions about which features I liked, used, or wanted etc. I said they could ring me if they liked but I only used it to put photos on forums or for friends to see my holiday pics and I did not use any of the other features. It is a storage site as far as I am concerned and that is all I use it for. Indeed, I was not sure what other features it had that they wished to question me about! :dunno:

Welcome. I think I remember some saying they have kept Ancistrus bristlenose catfish in with cichlids successfully.

Last lot out of the oven. Very pleased with how the little Christmas cakes came out. I hope they sell well and taste good!

Not a stupid question at all. Some prefer to peel them in case of spray residue. Others just wash them thoroughly. You can slice them into rings and let them float or weigh them down with something so they stay on the substrate. Some weigh them down with cutlery, others wedge them under a bit of rock. I slice then thread them onto a plastic knitting needle with a fishing sinker in the middle. You can also but a thing called a screwcumber.

I have had a marathon baking day as my parents' church is having their fair on Saturday and I said I would help (Grant and I are their token atheists). This is what I have done so far... There's (from back left to right) ginger gems, 3 spiced fruit loaves, 2 ginger loaves, red velvet cupcakes waiting to have their cream cheese icing piped on and in front are M&M Party Cookies and a sultana cake. There is still 5 small Christmas cakes cooking in the oven and 2 tea loaves to go. Oh, there is fudge cake in the fridge I have to ice. When I bake, I like to bake BIG!!!! :bounce: :happy1: . If I am going to use the oven, might as well fill it to capacity Loaves are popular on the stall, hence the number. Perhaps it is a Christian thing and they think there will be fishes for sale elsewhere :gigl:

We do not like to name and shame here, especially when we only hear one side. I am not condoning bad behaviour but there may be different people there now, or the woman no longer works there, or has since been re-trained or censured.
