I didn't know you were a Stephanie Plum fan as well. Guess I should have realised seeing we have so many other tastes in common. And I thought you would have put "as often as possible" in the sex category Cheers Jude - the unashamed fish eater

You'd get backache doing the dishes in the baff. I use the sink. Oh, sorry, you said buff? LOL, they must have a well heated house - I didn't think anyone in Central Otago took their clothes off in winter

:lol: :lol: :lol: Are they worth looking at? I guess I should ask Reid that, men always think they are worth admiring! Cheers Jude

Have read his other books but they don't come anywhere near the standard of this one. Like gardening (sometimes), cross stitch, scrapbooking, reading and sleeping, travelling. I love to drive new roads and I mark them all on a big map on my wall. So far have done every major road in SI except Arthur's Pass and I've done that by train. Still a bit more in NI to do. Favourite cars - red ones Favourite sports - indoor ones Work in a social service agency (not CYF) supporting young mothers, teaching parenting skills etc Cheers Jude

Wasn't me, it was Caryl!!!!!!!!!! I am the sweet innocent one And welcome to the site Cheers Jude

Welcome Kbird, I am sure you will learn heaps here. I agree with Caryl about the cycling thing, so long as things are done slowly and carefully it would be OK - after all, people had successful tanks well before all this knowledge was available Cheers Jude

Show off - just cause you are brainer than me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: OK, I will quit thread hijacking now ........... sorry everyone

Thanks Heather - I was about to ask the same thing Maybe its Deep Sea Business or Don't Stop Biting Damp Soggy Biscuits? Cheers Jude

Fantastic photos Paul - what camera do you use? Cheers Jude

:lol: :lol: Vapo I get bubbles on the surface of my tanks from time to time. They don't seem to bother anything and they go away again. If they don't go away maybe you need to do a small water change but I don't think its anything to worry about Cheers Jude

Its also possible that chakuna's fish died of something else and got nibbled at once it was dead. Eating a mate doesn't seem to bother fish :lol: :lol: Cheers Jude

do you want the beer per inch of fish? if thats the case I'd wait :lol:

Be like my grandmother - she worried when things were going well because something was sure to go wrong soon ............ LOL Jude I just worry that I will be like her .......... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Do mystics sleep? I suspect she was just off in a trance somewhere :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hi Debs It looks nice and bright :lol: :lol: Take photos at night. Put as much light as possible onto the tank and turn off the room lights. Get the camera as close as possible to the tank. Cheers Jude

LOL - I was waiting for someone to point out that this way they wouldnt suffer as long Cheers Jude

I thought the reason for not having a heater bigger than you need is that they can stick 'on'. A bigger heater will cook your fish much faster if that happened. Cheers Jude

Thanks again Plantman, I will do as you say. Not sure how I would get the light under the plantlet tho. And LOL misnoma - don't be greedy - you got baby bn's and I dont :) Cheers Jude

Thanks plantman It has lots of leaves but hardly any root so far. I am a bit worried that it has less root than before - could those blasted ungrateful fish be nibbling at it? :lol: :lol: There is another node about halfway up that seems to be growing leaves too - so maybe I will end up with several baby plants Cheers Jude

The Leopard Sword that Suphew gave me now has a stalk that reaches the surface with a baby sword growing on it. There are a few small roots but I don't know when I should remove it. I am really keen to grow another one so should I leave it until there are more/longer roots or does it eventually float off by itself, or what? Cheers Jude

Welcome. I am sure you will learn heaps here, I know I have. A group of us gets together at about 9pm in the chat room. I hope you can join us there sometimes Cheers Jude

Hi Caper How's everyting and how's your friend who had the heart op? Bottled water seems an expensive way to go. Can you get some water ager and use tap water? I think Mollies prefer brackish water but will be ok in fresh water - not sure about that though Cheers Jude

Hope you have lots of luck breeding them. It seems as though they are always in demand Cheers Jude

Welcome from me too. It sounds as though you've had fish for a while but I'm sure you will learn heaps here. Cheers Jude

Can we come and see your tanks in a years time? At your present rate there should be about 100 by then ................. :lol: :lol: :lol: Cheers Jude
