It's a sad reality for us in this country that we're becoming so limited in the hobby, not to mention the price hike on livestock. I don't think the pandemic has helped matters either, it's a real shame. Which Synodontis have you been looking at? They're about the only catfish that don't freak...

Absolutely stunning fish! I've enjoyed this thread, please keep it updated 😍 can't wait to see these cichlids grow and start showing their real potential. How do you get anything else done apart from staring at these beautys all day??

Looks nasty! What else does he live with in his tank?

I'm also very fortunate that I'm the Mrs 🤷‍♀️ Mr Barnicles is very laid back thankfully and is accepting of my hobby...(not that he has a choice) he appreciates the work that goes into it and likes to look at the end product but wouldn't dream of sticking his hands in the water. The deal is if I...

Wahoo! 🥳🍾🎈

I adore these, that yellow is gorgeous

It took me a minute to find the right position to take the photo, the camera couldn't pick up their colour, they just looked white on the screen!

Algae season is upon me...the sun shines straight onto the left hand corner of the tank from Spring until Autumn. Its a pain but the rainbows love it, and the colours are just 😍

Oooh this is a good one!

This is simple...you tell her you're the head of the house and that you pay for the mortgage and if you want another tank, by George, you're going to have one 🧐....then you calmly wait for either the divorce papers or a smothering in your sleep, whichever comes first 🤣

Me too, I wanna go! 🙋‍♀️

Did someone say wings?

I'm not sure @JuiceBox52 could stomach chopping up a plec as most people love them...I don't have the software to do it myself but 10 CaptainB points for the member who can do it! :banana:

Om nom nom... 🤢

I love a bit of heat but not so much that all you can taste is burn. I craved curried chillies and cheese sandwiches during both my pregnancies 🤤 so good

You still look fabulous Juice💃

And I am now a seal 🧐 I shall become many an aquatic creature over time to camouflage and catch out the ruffians...I shall also enjoy pleco sushi ...

My cherry barbs are an absolute nuisance any time my arms are in the tank, they just will not believe that my freckles and beauty marks are not tasty bugs and will peck at them the whole time I'm in the tank...its very annoying

I guess that's where "drinks like a fish" comes from

I always ignore these types of calls but my husband LOVES messing with them, even if they've phoned a friend in his company he will often take their phone and speak to them. He makes me cry with laughter, he tries to put on as many accents as he can and the absurd situations he makes up for them...

Hello 👋🏻 nice to have you with us 👍🏻

We tend to worry less about pH and kh but it's the gh we pay attention to in particular. PH, as long as it remains relatively stable with consistent large water changes won't be a problem to most fish. I'm not overly familiar with the test kit you're using but the easiest way to check what...

Aqua essentials is my go-to as well, always in beautiful condition

Looks good to me 🤷‍♀️ the only time it may be an issue is if they block out too much light for the plants growing below...but its easy enough to thin out so as long as you like the look then it's all good 👍🏻

Where did you get these photos?

Not really, just make sure you keep up with those water changes👍🏻 Is there something in his tank that he's catching himself on?

Looks like it to me

I saw lots of bristlenose there...and they were those horrendous YELLOW ones 😱😱😱😱...but no, there wasn't any in that tank that I saw

Bitterly disappointed today, just got home from the LFS and was astonished by one of their display tanks. The tank was no more than 150l, full of plastic plants covered in BBA and water that was opaque with mulm and crud. But what caught my eye was all the angelfish and gouramis ganging up on a...

Hello 👋🏻 welcome aboard matey!

I just blame the dog 🤷‍♀️

We're a good bunch here and we're glad to hear you'll be sticking around! We're all learning still as well no matter where we are in our understanding and capabilities, and I'm sure there's lots we can learn from you! There are a few on here who love a spot of fishing too 👍🏻

Agree with the others...open the windows to let fresh air in, make sure bog is clean, close all doors that won't be occupied, any junk or stuff that doesn't belong in the room in a box/tub and then put behind a closed door to deal with later, damp cloth over surfaces to pick up the dust, quick...

We all have our roles around here 🧐

🥳 congrats! Lovely fish!

That kind of guilt is an understandable feeling, I get it a lot myself. All my money goes into the family home and the kids, I can't remember when I last bought myself a new piece of clothing or a pair of shoes, I don't go to hair salons nor am I bothered about handbags and jewellery...I feel...
