Glow worms…can you get a photo of that please..????

Almost summer here this week with the threat of three days in a row without rain 😂😂😂

I love a beautiful garden, and yours does fit into that category, my Dad can rearrange the plants in his garden at anytime of the year, pour on a bucket of water and you’d never now they’d moved…I now only have four small troughs on the balcony and not matter how hard I try (and I do) I can’t...

Looking really lovely (as is you garden in the background) 😍

Grey and rainy….😢

I’m quite new to fish keeping, so apologies if this sounds patronising, but only add the new fish a few at a time to make sure the beneficial bacteria can meet the new bio load, and generally it’s suggested on here a 50% water change weekly (especially if you’re going to be close to full capacity).

@Essjay is the chemistry and cycling expert on here, she’s UK based so probably won’t be online for a few hours yet. @PheonixKingZ (I think) has saltwater tanks and may also have advice

Have you put the details through the AqAdvisor website..?

Just had a quick Google and a 40 US Gallon tank (about 150 ltrs) is going to cost about £140…that’s about 186USD… How much would that actually cost in the USA…?

You can’t post this where us British can see it…we never get sales like this…it’s not fair…😡😢😂

In an uncycled tank water changes could be needed every day (potentially more than once a day) because you need to keep the Ammonia and Nitrite levels at zero, anything higher than zero is dangerous for the fish. But, on a slightly more positive note, you only have one fish in a 5 gallon tank...

I’m not an expert, others will give more detailed replies, but I had something similar with my male and it was caused by over feeding ☹️. The whole ’feed what they can eat in a few minutes‘ does not apply to Bettas!

I thought that too, I have s toothbrush (bought and only used for the tanks) and that’s quite effective for removing lumps of this stuff. Sort of ‘stir’ with the toothbrush and it comes away quite quickly. Others will give advice on lighting etc.

I love the way the fish reversed when it realised it was on camera 😂. Welcome 🙂

@Mick85 makes beautiful Walstad jars some are only 7 ltrs which is about 1.8 US gallons. He has shrimp and snails https://www.fishforums.net/threads/frozen-themed-walstad-jar.473903/post-4109215

I love the “finger crotch” naming convention. My youngest granddaughter found a feather and couldn’t recall what it was called, they are now, “ bird leaves” 😂😂😂

Hands

🤢🤮

How I wish we could have that for a few days so the grandchildren could play in the snow. It would of course shut the whole country down…but the children (South coast) never get proper snow…

The what…? Big orangey yellowy ball in the sky…🤔 not sure I’ve seen such a thing..? 😂😂😂

This shows how you need to develop your resilience and broaden your horizons in respect of others points of view. You post some very “extreme“ points of view, one example is that you don’t believe in evolution. For many of us that would be considered a really stupid opinion, a bit like those...

My point exactly…look how much context and information has been shared here with the yes/no option nothing would be learnt. I’m Im interested in the OPs thoughts on what questions they think they’d like to post…

This was what I was going to ask. The problem with closed questions, unless you are very skilful at setting questions, is that there might not be one answer that fits your thoughts. You can then clarify in the comments which answer you have chosen and why it might not reflect your thoughts 100%...

They aren’t equally spaced…so one vote won’t have the same value in each of the bins (bands)…

This is the closest to social media I get and there are others on here who say they don’t use it..so I think “most people “ is possibly skewed to most people in a certain age range..?

Yes, then you’ll have a lovely and consistent data set 🙂

Can you start a new poll..? The membership here is very fluid, and those that voted originally will be 2 years older now…run it for a set period (like the TOTM competition) and get an up-to-date set of data 🙂

But that’s really poor business planning; in the scheme of running a business (rent, rates, insurance, wages etc.) £40 for a website is nothing. And you would (potentially) only need one customer that’s looking to get started in the hobby and you’d make that back 3 or 4 times over. Spending £40...

You’d need to have different age brackets so that each age only shows in one option. If you were 18 you could tick both of the first two options and skew the data.

I wonder how much money from sales they miss out on because people won’t know they are there, or what they are offering..?

Money

@Honey Fish, in your first post in this thread you said you were going to start cycling in the next few weeks; that was less than a week ago… Are you now doing a fish in cycle..?
