Only if they snap and dance while fighting.

I used to look at engrish.com a lot, so I have some training.

...or hire a native English speaker to proofread. Maybe I'll try to get that job when I retire from teaching.

Wow. Fish massage. That's a new one on me. Be sure to take some pictures. :lol:

It seems like there was a mass Exodus in the early-mid 2010s. I've noticed several of these very knowledgeable posters who were "last seen" around there. Hmmm, that's right about the time I joined. Coincidence, I'm sure.

"Water change hook" sounds like something you send the rookie out to the truck to find. But I'm glad to see that it is suitable for most of long water (with proper mouth at the end, of course). And wow, both fish tank and aquarium can be used! Sometimes I begin to suspect that the people...

MM, I think you are the king of "Trying something a little different." I love it.

I had a big school of cuneovirgata in my Sumatran rice paddy biotope. Such a fun little fish.

I thought about entering my frog, but I liked the picture of the cat cringe too much.

This is Ari. She is an approximately two-year old a Russian Blue. We got her from a shelter in August, and she has been a good buddy to tide Mrs. Badger through hunting season. This picture shows her reaction to the Hallmark Christmas movie that Mrs. Badger was watching. At last, I agree...

What could possibly go wrong?

@Seisage Any updates? How is the new place working out?

I always go for natural-looking, and I tend to think most fish look best with dark-colored substrate and/or background. Other than that, the only hard-and-fast rule is to avoid clown-puke gravel at all costs.

Ago, my fire belly frog, has really colored up! It's really hard to catch him in a place where you can see his belly, but he (she?) landed sideways while hunting fruit flies tonight. Yes, I named him, which means he's probably doomed, but he's (she's?) such a cool little critter, he needed a...

Fish stores are trying to sell stuff, so they often say whatever will get you to buy stuff. I agree that charcoal is unnecessary, as are the replaceable cartridges. Not only is replacing them unnecessary, but it's actually counter productive, because every time you replace one you're throwing...

Do you have other members of this species or is he the only one? It would be helpful to know how the others are doing. I agree that he isn't eating enough. How does the fish act when you feed him? Is he aggressively eating, or just picking? I would recommend feeding raw shrimp or pellets...

I had this third grade teacher...

Well, yeah, but Noah didn't have power tools. Heck he didn't even have Ace Hardware. It's a wonder he ever got it done.

New Contest! Ship of the Month!

It's spelled the American way in the ad picture above. The original ad was worded that way (or very close to it), but I doubt that's the actual one.

Cool! And now I have a new favorite youtube channel...

Teaching my fourth and fifth graders question-answer improvisation on their xylophones today. It's fun to see their eyes light up the first time they realize that they actually sound good. :cool:

My understanding is that they aren't literally migratory, though that could be true as well. But their environment is so changeable that they might as well be; they live in intermittent streams in a monsoon zone, so temperature, hardness, cleanliness, water flow, clarity, and depth all vary...

The story of the Endurance Expedition is one of the greatest survival tales of all time. If I ever make it back to England I want to visit Dulwich College and see the James Caird. Have you read the book, "Endurance" by Lansing? It is definitely a book worth owning, especially the edition with...

Hi, Wills. Any updates on this tank? What did you decide?

With most fish, I feel that the wild varieties are much more beautiful and interesting than the selectively breed, artificially colorful varieties. This is especially true of platies: The domestic strains are boring to me, but the wild varieties are wonderful to see.

Domestic. Didn't want to try wild angels in a business tank I only see once a week.

Ooooooh, I think it is! I didn't catch that. That WOULD be a fun one to have. But it would be easier to build the post-November 21 Endurance:

Whew, I chose my music unwisely. There, I added something less annoying. Thank you, Youtube Royalty-Free Music Library.

Turtles and model sailboats. It's a good day on TFF.

All helpful developments. I additionally recommend playing some Smokey Robinson for them.

Which reminds me: @AJ356 did you ever find some driftwood?

So, I had one sterbai Cory who as been by himself since his buddies died in the Great Ich Battle, back in March of 23. I kept expecting this guy to die too, but he soldiers on, all by himself. So in this last order I got him ten buddies. Today, when I went over to do a water change, all the...

New Fishies!

Those legs are hard to digest

Yeah, I've had that happen with evolving tanks, too No algae eating sucker fish from Africa that are available in the hobby? I though everywhere had species like that. We even have a few in dry Wyoming.

If that's Africa, that Otto is really, really lost. :lol: Great pics, man.
