    From stainless steel to animals

    I just found some pictures of my fathers uhm, statues (is that a right word for those?). He cuts the steel to small pieces and then uses mig welding to attach them together. The colors are made by heating the surface of the steel to different temperatures. Kinda cool =) This one is 100%...

    Crowntail called Kelli

    Thanks :) It was quite easy with these ones because those girls are his sisters and they have lived in a same aquarium for their first month. Putting them back together wasn't that bad because they knew each other.

    What kind of catfish is this

    They are cute creatures. I like Sturisomas more because they are more active and less fragile. But Farlowellas are also interesting with their long noses and clumsy bodies =)

    Crowntail called Kelli

    Please keep me in your thoughts/prayers

    We have lost two dogs within five months and the pain was (and is) terrible. Two of our family members died and I felt so lost without them. I still feel like it, but I am starting to remember the good times again. We had some really good years with both of them and I am happy that they belogned...

    Honey - Labrador Retriever

    Actually a she =) She is almost too intelligent. Learns everything really fast. And she likes to chew everything. A couple of weeks ago she ate a part of a zipper. When she was a small puppy, she used to chew our old table that is made of IRON. :blink: Of course, she didn't manage to harm...

    dying after giving birth

    I have noticed that the guppies that have died after giving birth have usually lived in a tank where the water hasn't been uhm, hard enough. I mean total hardness, GH. Well, that's the case here in Finland. Our water is soft, pH around 7, KH 1-3, GH 2-6. And if the water in livebearers tank...

    Crowntail boy

    The largest one of my crowntail babies is starting to act like a man. Well, he is still a boy, but a handsome one :) Sorry for the bad pics, none of them shows the real intensity of the colors or even the fins getting the crowntail-shape. I haven't named him yet. Any suggestions? :)
