What is IRD...I'm guessing to do with tax and government

That is just so funny Loopy :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yes...I was wondering what would happen...freezer/moisture! I had to open the can for my tropicals this morning. Poor fishies...had crumbs yesterday :oops: But I know that it will get bad before I could use it all. I usually just buy the small cans ...hold on, have to go get can ...wait now, trying to find on label ... :evil: why is print soooo small, .42 oz. (12 g). I find these can even get stale before they're used up...can even tell when you pick them up the difference in the texture. So, Monaro, wouldn't just the moisture itself, ruin the flakes??? Yah, I know...they go in water...but they don't usually last long :lol:

Sorry to hear about your fishie losses But...not totally surprised about the kindness you have been shown by the mystery person...if there is one thing I have learned here (besides all the fishy stuff ) is that New Zealanders have HUGE HEARTS!!!!!

Anybody?????

I have to admit...that is pretty neat! Why would you even think of that :lol: :lol: But, what really scares me is... AND...where are they now...and why are you using the past tense when you refer to them???? :lol: :lol:

Oh my...never even thought about "me getting something"...I always wash my hands after doing anything with my tanks because of, well, like Wok said "poo and pee" and before I do anything with them as well! Deb, what you are doing is wonderful...just another example of the kind of hearts you folks have

Sorry...can't help! But, I hope that your fishies will get better soon...let us know if these treatments work...in case, anyone else has same problem. Love the color of your fishies!

so...you folks are serious...this is a...umm...ah..."sexual" thing going on then? And if so, how come they don't bother with the female platy? A guppy after a platy...ugh! Will this cause Mickey toooooo much stress...oh shoot...any suggestions?????????

Darn...how do I do that from here :-? Yes, that is a great idea Caryl...I think I will. The pictures that I saw on here...and in your photo album...your country is BEAUTIFUL...but then so are the people. It is obvious that you folks have big hearts

Okie dokie...I know it doesn't take much to confuse me...or have I totally lost it :roll: Billaney...did you forget something????

Hi again Not up on my geography :oops: are you in New Zealand or Austalia???? Don't forget to post some pictures of your tank! Take care Oh...forgot..."eh"...that is something that we are noted for in this part of Canada...using "eh"...funny to see someone on the other side of the world using it...or did you know that already :roll:

Hi Deb, Welcome...you can go to the "Welcome" and introduce yourself. This is a great site...people always eager to help. They have more knowledge here than any place in my area. I bought my first tank (only a 10 gallon) in March/05...and I LOVE this hobby. Oh...do you realize...MTS...has no cure Take care...enjoy this site...enjoy you new hobby! Dolorosa (Caper)

Ah huh...herefishiefishie...you mean to tell me...you ARE NOT always right...and I trusted you :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Freakyfish...don't let him take anymore pics of your fishies then

I have 2 big cans of food that my son bought me. I thought I read somewhere that you can put the food in small freezer bags and freeze it...is this true? I'm talking about flakes...I'm about ready to open the one for my tropicals, and I'm pretty sure it would go stale before I get to use it all Also, we've been having some really hot weather. Last night I actually did a water change in my 10 gallon (goldfish & ottos) because...someone, ah...probably the cat :-? since I live alone...forgot to refill the ice cube trays...and the temp was getting over 80. Question is, in an established tank...is there such a thing as too much when it comes to water changes? THANKS

Not that I'll ever have one...but would somebody mind posting a pic of what you are talking about, please

Yuck...oh...disgusting...bad fishy :evil: Gee...you all still amaze me how you remember the names of fish

Okay now...are you serious...is this some kind of mating thing that Blue is doing? And you are right...I have no female guppies...but the platies that he is with are male too And I don't get it...there is a female platy...who I really thought was a male when I got her :roll: :roll: So...ummm...ahhh...gee...what is going on here :-? :lol: Nope...not even for fish :lol:

Hi Freakfish You could open one over here...so, okay...a little too far you say??? This site is FANTASTIC...people are wonderful and have aquariums of knowledge...I mean fish...and loads of information too :lol: Caper...puts finger on chin...thinks...OMG...owns an aquarium shop...another person that I can pick his brains about fish :roll: Take care & have fun, Dolorosa (Caper)

Sorry...wish I could help...could this be what they call "shimmy"...which I believe can be caused by stress. Test your water and post results so those that know more can see if there where they should be. Someone will help...hold on

Also, Wok, if I remember correctly from posts here... a larger heater wouldn't have to come on as often as a smaller heater???

Hey Mystic...I bet you were not stern enough...sounds like they need a harsher scoulding...and I can't see you doing that

I agree...it is extremely frustrating when you go thinking they know more than you do...and they don't. I have come across some who seem to really know what they are talking about, some who will admit they know nothing, and then there are those who pretend to know everything! Now, you all know how much I know about this hobby...and I do look up things on the net but always check back here...so, you know its scarey when I know more than what the person who's sellin knows :lol: :lol:

Oh my...I am scared of frogs

Hi Nickyboi! Oh yah....you have it...and you must be warned..there is no cure for MTS Looking forward to seeing your pics...and sharing with you! Take care, Dolorosa (Caper)
