:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: But I only want them to do the laundry, I'd settle for that! Love the pic Ira, I know there's sugar in fruit, but I guess I just thought watermelon didn't! Caper

That is amazing :lol: :lol: :lol: Is the grey thing that you're talking about the other bird in the cage, looks like a few times he tried to imitate the white one! Caryl, maybe Bud could do the singing? OR Bud could be the other birds agent? Caper

:bounce: :bounce: HAPPY VALENTINES DAY :bounce: :bounce: Sorry a day late, it's the 14th here! Caper

sounds good so far imsweet, keep us posted! Caper

Oh my gosh reef, first you have excellent picture taking skills, now this :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Would their "tusks" hurt the anemones? :lol: Caper

Nope, not pumice. Air pump, hose...attach to an airstone...creates bubbles. You can get different things regular plain airstones, circular thingies, ornaments, etc. What I've learned here is that it's the bubbles breaking the surface, causing more movement...in turn creating more oxygen, rather than the bubbles themselves supplying the oxygen :-? 8) Caper

OH my gosh, eels eat ducks...ohhhhhhh my Caper

So Jayci...do you think if I could get my cats to eat watermelon they'd clean the apartment, actually all I ever want them to do is the wash but they won't do it! :lol: :lol: :lol: I didn't even know there was sugar in watermelon Caper

Ditto to all of the above, well except for anything re: plants, I only have artificial :-? Test kits are a really good thing to have, so highly recommend them. New tank, add fish slowly because your tank is going to go through the cycling process. If your tank temp is much higher than you require, you could float some ice in a bag, use a fan. I've had to do that sometimes in the summer (winter here now :evil: ). Also, just as a note, when the tank temp goes up, more oxygen is used up, so down the road if needed you could add an airstone to increase surface movement which increases the oxygen (don't know the technical jargon for it :oops: :lol: ). Usually an indicator of low oxygen is fish gasping at the surface. I don't have any driftwood in my tanks, but from what I've read here they will sometimes realize something in the water called tannins which could give the water a brownish tint I think it is :-? , which doesn't hurt the fish by the way.

Comments, well let me see I think reading, which has been recommended lots on here, including by those who have lots of experience, is important. Good books are hard to find where I live and I'm not going to order them in for an arm and a leg The net as we all know has lots of resources. So a good place to source out info. But personally, even after I read things on the net, I come back here. I can read all I want but I like to double check with those who have experience. As I've said before, one of the things I've learned is that what works for one may/may not work for another and so on. But I really like having this option of asking others their opinions/help, etc. Comment ended :lol: :lol: :lol: Caper
