I’ve been gonna ask a WCMM in patio pond type question on here for a couple of weeks so sorry in advance for thread hijack. I put six into our half wine barrel on Easter Sunday. I’ve not seen more than three at the same time since but even they were blending in to the pebbley background. Gonna...

Nice build up to the punchline.

Welcome. I’ve long been of the opinion that a tacky tank competition could be squeezed into the hectic competitive world that is tank of the month.

A polish sounding lad was selling Medaka by the dozen last year on eBay from north London. He’d been the only seller on there for a while. I was going to buy some but times weren’t right. Then he sold them all in one batch as he “was going back to Poland.“ A few weeks later there were a few...

First find out your water hardness and PH. Your plan is a disaster in waiting.

Happy Easter or whatever floats your particular boat around this time of year. I’ve just finished my chocolate egg🥲 I’ve been banished to the spare bedroom with Covid since last Tuesday so I’ve missed it all. Allowed out only to do a W/C on the 120L when MrsLurch opened all the windows and went...

Do you do the chocolate egg nonsense over there?

Laying in bed with Covid. 2nd time around the C19 dance floor.

We’ve all made stocking mistakes. Your friend is fortunate to have a source of info that isn’t interested in making money from her mistakes: this place. These fish need rejoining asap.

The softness-hardness thing will still matter.

Im on a nano fish only thing at the moment myself. Scarlet Badis? Pygmy Corys? Microdevario Kubotai? Heterandria Formosa though the latter breed like the livebearers they are.

Sorry for your loss. Thoughts are with you at this time.

Welcome. Those fish are too big for the tank imho. Endlers, Pygmy Corys, Galaxy Rasboras, Scarlet Badis sized fish are more like it imho.

To get to grips with technology. To jog every other day.

Is it the Stephen King time travel/Kennedy assassination novel where the traveller has to keep his head down and survive by betting on gridiron-boxing-baseball-horse racing results that he already knows? I like the idea of that more than the idea of killing my poor Grandfather. Mind you I’d...

I feel the OPs paranoia. That’s happened to me far too many times for comfort. The poor mothers always seem embarrassed beyond what seems to be socially acceptable in my eyes. I can accept ive not got movie star looks but the way these kids mothers react you’d think I was verging on horror...

Where are you reading articles that recommend Bettas with other fish and frogs with fish?

Which websites are you getting your info from? Im far from being an expert which is why I listen to seriouslyfish.com who are science backed experts………even when they’re telling me stuff I really really don’t want to hear.

Welcome and MERRY XMAS. That’s if you celebrate it of course. If not then just WELCOME!

I bet the OP wishes theyd never bothered.

I’m only messing about.

But it’s not a 21% weekly WC though. 3%x7=21 but 3% of every new 3% is changed out every WC.

Aaaaarrrrgggghhh but what if thursdays 3% was actually the 3% added on Tuesday? Eh? Eh? Eh?

GH changing is strange. Though Co Durham’s a strange place regardless.* *I was born there so I can say owt I want.

Depends how long the water is actually in the copper pipe I suppose. It’s no doubt travelled through copper pipe to and other types to get to your tank…..unless your up Tyne(spits)-Wear-Tees dale type areas?

Im not even gonna read this thread. I discovered mine was leaking at 18:30 on Xmas eve last year. All the pre Xmas tasks were complete and I was midway through a phone call to my mam 260 miles away when the tank light timer clicked into action behind me. There was approx 4” of water left in a...

Neocardinias stood no chance in my Heterandria Formosa species tank. Put em alongside each other in my nano community tank and they’re safe as houses though. Would that work with killis? I’ve never had killis by the way.

I believe Corys require a bit more company of their own kind. Seriouslyfish.com is the science backed website most often referenced to on here. They’ll keep you right.

🤞

Get as many plants as you can afford. Especially floating ones. That’ll help speed you up.

I’m NE England born n bred going back a few generations despite having lived longer in London and more recently the SE. 3% Norwegian according to a dna test which I took just in time for their football team to fall off the World Cup radar. It’d be great to have a variety of nations to get behind...

I hadn’t had any for years until I inherited some long fin zebras n leopards when an old mate moved to the other end of the country. After a few months I had to give em away to my LFS as they were huge and far too active to be tank mates for my Medakas. The fellers in the LFS couldn’t believe...

Watching the World Cup! It’s now at the “quarter final/round of 8” stage. Brazil V Croatia is now 101 mins of the 120 +penalties reqd in Croatian KO games. Iirc six of their last seven tournament KO games have gone to penalties. The Croatian goalkeeper is once again the star of the show. Poor...

its good to hear of tff members who are helping with fish conservation. By the time I retire I’m hoping to have a bit of a fish room scenario on the go and attempt to play a small part similarly. My knowledge level will undoubtedly need to increase.

Zebra Danio are very very active fish. They naturally live in streams with a flow which means they have to be fast n strong to swim against the current when required. Put them into a stationary water environment and this speed and strength means they’re zipping about at crazy speeds. A long tank...

Welcome. It depends what you mean by nursery.

In Italy?

Lions, Lions, Lions.

Yeah. It wasn’t a very good game but I would’ve preferred a few non European or South American teams to make the last eight. Still 60+ mins to go and Brazil are there already. Shame as I’ve long thought Paolo Bento deserves more recognition as a coach.
