Angelfish are the spawn of the Devil! Despite their seraphic name . . .

That sounds very reasonable to me. What about seahorses?

No the wonder you keep coughing up hairballs.

9 is no age for a cat. We had three girl cats before these two boys. Two of them got to 18, and the third to 23. (Yes - you read it right - 23!) When we got the boys there were originally three of them - litter brothers. All ginger. One short haired, one long haired and one even...

Has his colour deepened a lot, or is it due to the lighting conditions when you took the photos?

She looks so sad . .. have you stopped her slaughtering something?

Nor am I, which is why I limit our family to a maximum of three of the murderous little bar-stewards at a time. (Currently we have two. Mr LostBear and the Cub feel that this means there is a vacancy. I refuse to let them take on an "apprentice" assassin.) However, I do love the ones we have...

Vair' handsome fish.

NOOooooOOOOoooooOOOooOOoooooOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo!

You are both brutes! Poor little fishies . . . :(

<turns slightly green>

You really ARE evil, aren't you?

Aren't crepes those thick soles on teddy boys' shoes?

How is that an unpopular opinion? Everybody likes pancakes. (Unless of course it is a euphemism for discus . . . )

And that "small is INCREDIBLY beautiful . . . ' :)

Yep - we learned the hard way about the growth capacity of the common pleco . . .

What goes around, comes around.

The Neons in our tank belong to Mr LostBear. Mine are the Glowlight tetras. For three weeks I lost a Glowlight a week - they had seemed healthy and suddenly developed "swim bladder" issues and died within a day or so. In retrospect I believe that the Neons (who already had form for brutality)...

YOU ARE DEAD TO ME :eek::eek::eek:

Whew! That's a relief (unless, of course, a tiny piscine "ALIEN" has burst out of her tummy and is lurking among the lush vegetation . . . )

It might be wise to get it out of the tank if you can, to reduce the chances of anything being passed on to other tank occupants.

Yes. Yes they are. But anything worth having is worth working for.

Just as you thought it was safe to go back in the water . . . . :rofl: WOW! Spectacular finish or what! I've watched spiders moult, and caterpillars and snakes - first time I've seen a crayfish. Thank you for posting this video. I'm a bit hard of hearing, but I'm sure I heard her shout...

Many congratulations - Franka is indeed a cutie - as they all are. This is always such a difficult competition because all of the pets are lovely - but Franka had the edge this time! Your 5 year old must be very proud!

Teach me, Sensei. <bows respectfully>

Then you will both have read the dripping sarcasm in my "unreserved apology". :oh:d:D

I apologise unreservedly. And would agree that a beautiful aquascape is much more attractive than a rock, in inch of gravel and wall to wall fish. However a beautiful aquascape with a few well-chosen piscine tenants is the best of both worlds.

Sarcasm is not a pretty emotion, Aily . . . :lol:

Not if you keep tropicals . . . :lol:

"I've decided that no fish should be injected with jellyfish semen." What!? That's a "thing"? Eeeeeeeew! o_O:oops::oops:

The only suggestion I would make for re-naming these dead-eyed psychotic killers would get me banned. It isn't the hill I'm going to die on . . . :lol:

Hello Bela Welcome to the forum. We're a friendly bunch. I hope you like it here.

Your house, your rules . . .

You are too soft! As soon as they are weaned, get them a job. Thy fit nicely up a chimney at that age. :lol:

I do have children. They are grown up now. I raised them PROPERLY! With rocks and bogwood and natural gravel. No wonder the youth of today are a lost generation . . . .

There is truly no hope for the future . . . :sad:

Not in this house . . . :mad: As a Brit, I retain Imperial measurements in my very mitochondrial DNA . . . I might pay lip service to this so-called "metric", but I don't believe that it actually exists, other than in the twisted minds of dystopian science fiction writers and politicians (HUGE...

I had assumed it was an EU banana, and therefore subject to Imperial measurements.

Don't EVER let them go to the aquarium shop on their own again!

Hello Vaalex - and welcome to the forum,. It is a fount of great knowledge, kindly advice and some very unpopular opinions :lol:
