    New forum idea—for kids?

    Well if someone has lied about their age to get on a forum and are clearly under age, they should be removed by the admin. Simple as that.

    New forum idea—for kids?

    I guess so, but how do you control that via a forum? The simple answer is that unfortunately, you can't. I am a little concerned that even though it is quite clear that some of these children are definitely too young to be on this (or any) forum, and have stated themselves how old they are -...

    New forum idea—for kids?

    If the children on this forum are <13 years old, surely their parents must be monitoring their internet usage and online safety? If not then some serious questions need to be asked of those parents IMO

    Raising awareness

    I think in general people are just much less caring about fish. So many times I've been speaking to people and mentioned fish and the answer you get is always something like "It's just a fish.....flush it and get more" Well no. Its not just a fish. It's a living thing and needs to be cared...

    Is this dwarf water lettuce?

    We were given a couple of them when we visited our LFS last week. They sell various plants but I have never seen many floating ones so I asked if they stock them and he said they don't sell well but he had a couple - and proceeded to dig into his tanks and grab a small handful which he very...

    Raising awareness

    Could not agree more! And poor goldfish too, possibly the most mis-treated fish in the trade :(

    Is this dwarf water lettuce?

    Morning all 👋 I've been looking in the plant identification section and I think this may be dwarf water lettuce, can anyone advise please? To my untrained eye, it looks to be in a pretty poor state at the moment so I'm hoping that I can nurture it and maybe bring it back to it's full...

    Considering an L200

    Yeah we don't want to get one that ends up huge and I understand from reading around that the L200 is relatively small so that was another one of the plus points for it. We tend to have to fix the plants quite often anyway......our vampire shrimp are very good at having move arounds :unsure:

    Considering an L200

    I don't know yet, hence asking the question, we are just researching at the moment and the L200 caught our eye It sounds silly but anything with the "appendages" on the face is out for me, I just don't like the look of them (sorry!!!! :blush:) they give me the willys!!

    Considering an L200

    As per the title really, we have an established tank and would like to add a pleco of some kind and the L200 is really beautiful My OH is absolutely set on one of these and I do like them a lot, but my concern is that the tank is planted with mainly java fern and it's quite heavily planted with...

    Mini-Jaws (Warning: Terrifying footage ahead!)

    That video is just brilliant 😂 And this is so true.......it made me chuckle to myself reading this, so funny!! Used to have a puffer myself (green spotted) and "she" was so much fun, they have so much personality! ETA: No idea if mine was actually female or not, I always just referred to...
