Welcome blade57! You're going to love it here. It's like a big family. I'm the loving grandpa of the group who mostly just walks around in the background.

I was in a hurry and didn't fully think this through. I posted data that might be deemed controversial... thus the edit. I do want everyone to know that I didn't mean everything that was in the original post.. I just have some problems I'm working out and it can happen that I write things that I...

I'm prepared to push the deadline out a day.

I'll give you 20 dinar if you can get it to me before sundown tomorrow.

I wouldn't nominate it if it were unworthy of winning. Who gets to vote? Perhaps I could email a detailed description to the voters (it's really not as hard as it used to be to send an email to more than one person at the same time).

I've just nominated my tank for the July Tank of the Month award. I haven't posted a picture of my tank (privacy concerns), but I think I've got a pretty good chance at winning all the same. How many repeat winners of the award have there been? I think I might nominate my tank again at a later...

I'd like to nominate my tank, but I'm not sure I feel comfortable posting a picture of it.

That's a good question, matt_storey. I figure you've already tried looking at online shopping options and estate sales. Have you thought about buying an alternative material tank? There not for everyone, I guess, but I've been reading good reviews over the past few days. I've been thinking of...

Do you have another pet that might be killing the fish? I've found out recently that cats can sometimes kill pet fish. If this is the case, then you might be wasting your time with all that cleaning. You probably just need to better secure your tank. I didn't want to buy anything from a store...

Well now I feel silly. Apparently there are some visa requirements that I don't meet. I've been reading about crossing the border at some points that are often left unguarded (or lightly guarded), but I'm not sure if the trip is worth risking getting in trouble with the Moldavian police. Maybe...

Thanks for your reply. Is it true what they say about the reasonable payment plans on equus? I've heard it's pretty much 'anything goes' down there but at the same time safe for foreign investors.

Next week I am making a holiday in Chişinău and was wondering what kind of pet shops I can find there. Last week I found out that I want to buy several different types of pets. I haven't been the best pet owner in the past, but I'm confident I might be able to get better. I think if I try my...

I bought a cat over the weekend. It started off being quite funny watching my 5 month old tabby following the silverfish movements around the tank, but now it's an all out battle between me saving the silverfish and her getting them. She continously jumps right up to the tank and scares the fish...

I'm thinking about donating the silverfish collection to the Boys and Girls Club. It's becoming pretty obvious to me that I am not a very good owner. I'll regret to see them go, but I hope they will bring as much joy to the children as they have to me. I did write to the psych forum about a...

This does make a lot of sense. I thank you. I take exception at thinking about your name. It makes me a bit sad if I'm completely honest.

That could work. I'm not sure if it's legal to own a toad. My country's laws tend to restrict ownership rights over farm animals like toads.. for ordinary civilians anyway. If you're a warlord, you can pretty much own any animal you want. I guess if there is a law prohibiting me from owning a...

Yeah, I thought about buying a cat, but I decided against it (too loud and messy). They're bigger than what I'm looking for anyway. What about a parrot of some kind? How closely related are they to Cichlids?

That would explain why there wasn't water in the aquarium when the courier delivered it. I figured they emptied it to make it deliverable. I guess I'll take the water out.. I guess they are able to survive a few days in water at least. If i have to dry out the aquarium, then I guess my plan of...

Silverfish aren't supposed to live in water?

The biggest ones are nearly the size of my daughter's thumbnail.

It's a silverfish. Most of mine are a little fatter than that one, though. I probably have a little over a hundred of them (I don't know if my aunt named them or not, but I haven't had time to give them all names). The aquarium is about the size of a couple of moose calves stacked on top of each...

My silverfish look similar to what is pictured below: I'm not sure what kind of Cichlid I should be considering. I guess I'd want for it to be able to sit in my hand... so not too big, I guess. Thanks for your help, nelly!

First, a little about myself: I'm a very tall man. I occasionally wear rimless eye glasses because they seem to compliment my face.. I actually have very good eyesight and don't require prescription lenses. About thirty years ago (when I was about thirty years old) I began to study and practice...
