Yes, a quid is the same as a pound, and having just googled 1 Great British Pound is worth 1.36 United States Dollars.

What…? Why..? 🤔😳😂

I’m not an expert by any means but the anubias that is in the substrate will need removing, if you bury the root bit it will rot which is why they are generally attached to wood and rocks. Anubias are probably not the best if you are attempting a silent cycle, you need much faster growing plants...

Still horrible, they can barely turn around, and there is no stimulation at all…I think the lfs has a mini hotel lol it’s only about 5x5…

I wasn’t sure this thread was going to have such a positive update, fingers crossed he keeps improving. I will just add my thoughts on “rescuing“ Betta fish from these “tiny cups” in pet shops…if we refused to buy them, the shops would either stop selling them, or improve the conditions in...

Its tough when you know they are struggling. well done on all the effort you are putting in for him.

I saw that picture (the circle with the three types mentioned) but don’t have enough knowledge to know ‘what’s what’…but I knew that someone on here would. I like the Eheim filters and heater that I have, and I have said I wouldn’t buy another “all in one kit“ after my first tank….I might try...

Thank you for that reply, is it just a case of taking out the other “stuff” and adding more sponge..? Ill look at getting the plant version I think, I do like plants

Thinking I might need another tank….and this will fit perfectly next to the bookshelves…I wouldn’t even have to move anything…so it’s got to be the right thing to do 😂 Just wondered if anyone has any feedback on this brand, or if there’s something similar you’d recommend over this one...

Do you think we were too late to help this one..? Nothing since the original post….

I have a work colleague who is having similar issues with EE broadband here at the moment. She’s moved house and the people who put the lines in are too busy to connect her at the moment, so EE have given her a dongle with “unlimited data”, we’re all still working from home so she used all the...

Brilliant news Colin 🙂

Hello, he’s going to be very stressed and water quality and temperature are going to be very important. He needs the water temperature to be 75-80 degrees F and if it’s colder than this then his immune system will be affected and this will make him more susceptible to other illnesses. He also...

That’s brilliant news! Well done! What will be your next subject..?

This was a really interesting read, thank you for sharing. Is there a specific purpose for doing this? I found the conversational style easy to read, but it seems a little ’relaxed’ for what looks like a more serious, scientific piece of research.

Breeding fish has never been part of my fish keeping plans…what would you do with all the babies..? My lfs store told someone on Sunday that they don’t take livebearers anymore because of “issues”. I don’t see the point in just breeding readily available fish (guppies etc) and not have a plan...

Let me start by saying that I’m not in any way questioning your work/grades…but just finding out about the system. There has been so much challenge in England when teachers in the education system have graded exam coursework because of Covid/enforced home schooling…so in The States, generally...

Your mum would obviously be very objective and ensure her grades matched the national average in terms of quality and would never have showed any bias or favouritism…😂😂😂

Sorry, another thought, who does mark your work when you’re homeschooled..? I would have thought for some things it would need to be externally marked, so that it is bench marked against other peoples work to ensure grading is consistent…🤔🤷‍♀️

As above, I’m certainly not questioning your work…but it published now 🙂

Lecturers/ colleges have software that can scan papers/information on the internet and see if any of the phrases/paragraphs match the students work…your paper is now on the internet, possibly in more that one post…you could get a plagiarism “hit” from your own paper…

@Myraan was saying that as YOUR paper is now online it might get checked against itself…not that your paper was copied…

I think for us English (and this is a huge generalisation) we assume that everyone else will learn English as a second/additional language and we don’t need to bother. And if you are writing and speaking in your first language, you started to absorb those speech patterns in the womb!! So...

No, very sadly not, at that point (not sure what’s happening in schools now) and certainly when I was at school we weren’t taught the formation of the grammar for English - I had to find out what a ‘past participle’ was 😳😢

Oooo…now that’s a question….probably, but do they need fixing..? I used to host French students (aged about 15/16) and I’m ashamed to say that they knew the English grammar system better than the English students…

Now, that’s the beauty of people speaking (and writing) in a second language…it may not be 100% grammatically correct - but it is so charming…and close enough that I know what you mean. I’m ashamed to say that I wouldn’t even know where to start a sentence in French 😳☹️

Mmmm…I’d make that assumption too, but people do move around and live in different places I’m not sure that’s the date of birth - I think it’s something to do with the boat…

@Avel1896 - I do think that sometimes you do seem a little ‘short’ in your replies, but I then always wonder if English is your first language, and if some of the subtleties might ‘get lost in translation’..? You do have lots of knowledge, so please don’t stop sharing 🙂

Get some fast growing live plants in there as well…doesn’t matter if they don’t look pretty, you can take them out after they’ve helped absorb some of the ammonia.

Do it! Do it! Do it! 😂

I’m so very sorry at you loss, and for your your thoughts that you didn’t do things quite right. Hindsight is a wonderful, you clearly gave him every bit of care he needed day and night. He was very lucky to have you x

I have all live plants, but keeping plants alive is really not my ‘thing’. I don’t do the very ‘scaped look - more of the jungle look 😂 and like @Essjay short ones at the front… I have simple tanks, no flashy lights, bells and whistles but the “easy” care plants in play sand seem to be doing well 🙂

I’m worried too, he’ll have had to have moved out of his home by now and I’m not certain he had anything sorted to move into.

When my son had a bearded dragon that was ill we were told they they don’t always cope with the anaesthetic very well. I think I’d go for the euthanasia and not subject him to any more pain. Sad decision to have to make though….

Not too far then..? 😂😂😂

Perfect 😀

What does the “ignore“ function do..?

No, it isn’t- your assumption that he won’t care for the fish/plants whatever is your opinion, not “information“…
