Thanks

Sadly, scrubbing it wont do any good - Elbow grease wont help. Good luck with commercial cleaners - let me know how you get on. I gave up and just put poly on that side

Hi Amy, First place that I would check would be your local club. I've found mine to be a wealth of knowledge, so if your club cannot help, ask LivingArt Failing that, there's trademe. Failing that, as Kiwi's, we all have a bit of DIY in us, generally JUST enough to get the job done.

Memories of short term happiness are still long lasting.

So, the eggs were eaten, or..? Do you know what happened to them?

Imagine the look on their face if you brought the whole list :thup:

So, my next step would be, go back to the LFS, and ask them to ask their importer "If your fish only last for such a short time, why are you charging so much for them?" :dunno: Seems odd that weak fish can sell for so much.

It's not that uncommon

Any plans for the fry...? :spop:

Our neighbour has trained their rabbit to be an inside rabbit. He's awesome. Our kitten decided to take on said kitten, and was found to be losing the battle.

thats a fish, not a hat, like the one on his belly

I'ld be adding more driftwood, not taking it out :dunno:

I looked up the L034, aka the Medusa. Is yours Navy Blue?

I thought that was the case?

:sage: Nah, adds character

needs a "next" button, so I don't have to close and reopen each photo

I'm tempted to just connect the Sodastream to the airline.... anyone attempted this before?

Oh hell yea! LA for Mayor!

If you only sold fancy males, and they had fancier females.... Is it possible that you're backup plan could blow up in your face? They could end up with better stock than you... :slfg: Phoenix, I agree. but I also don't see an issue with cross breeding normals and fancy to see what you get. (You can always cull off any nasty looking ones - don't sell these)

Hi Mark, Shiana would like to say a very big thank you for the guppies that came with the swordtails. She has claimed them as her own. I'm sure there are a lot of people on here who know about wonderful things that you've done, and I'm sure they can spend a moment to say thanks. I'm just getting the ball rolling :slfg:

I think puttputt wasn't trying to be negative about it, I think he was pissed off at the state of the tank. As Smidey would normally talk to someone at the restaurant to try and solve the problem, puttputt has tried to take things to the people higher up, the ones actually in charge. (This should prevent it happening again). He isn't trying to name and shame, he's trying to track down who is actually looking after the tank, as THEY are the ones that need to be sat down and talked to. I agree that fish are more than ornaments. And I find it heart breaking that big fish are put in little tanks. Smidey, In my opinion, talking to the people at the restaurant would only be a short term fix. You let them know that something needs to be done, the waitress may (or may not) pass on the message, but they would pass it on to a manager, who may (or may not) pass it on again. Puttputt is trying to go straight to the person maintaining the tank. Public awareness isn't a bad thing. It's not stopping people going there for the food (yet.)

I think what siftyzod is trying to say is that he already has put each pair into their own tank, and has been trying for a year to get each pair to breed by simulating their natural environment as best as they can, in an aquarium, and they were wondering if we have some magic "aha!" hint that will make it work. Have you tried a trio instead of a pair? Sometimes a bit of competition gets them going. Have you tried separating them for two weeks? Sometimes welcome home piow piow works. Hope this helps

LOL. I find it funny to see how long you can keep them on the line. He said "Your computer has sent us error messages. I'm calling to show you how to fix them" I asked him "how did you get this number?" He replied "out of the phone book" :facepalm: Then I said "Ok, so if my computer is sending you messages, how did you connect my computer to my name in the phone book?" He said he didn't understand. So I asked, "What IP address sent you the messages?" He didn't know what an IP address was. :facepalm: When I had explained what an IP address was, he begun accusing me of "attacking him" and got really pissy, then hung up. :happy2: I love these calls. I don't know how anyone actually falls for them though
