CFC, dearest of all my old-men-who-keep-scary-fishes-in-england friends!

Sorry mate, much as I'd like to help you there's not much I can say. It's either an infection, in which case the meds will resolve it. Or it's old age. Or it's some other factor that I'm really too out of touch in the business to remember. I hope someone else more knowledgeable than myself will...

I need to know everything as regards to the effects of soap in the aquarium, including symptoms in the fish and how to get rid of it. I did a major aquarium overhaul today and there appears to be some soap residue in the aquarium. The fish are fine, 4 hours on, but I've only just noticed a...

My apologies for not responding to this thread earlier, I'm smack in the middle of the exams and I can only come online intermittently. Anyhow, I understand nitey4ever's point about there needing to be a stronger warning to make sure that any newbies reading it will understand it. I admit that...

Woohoo, 20k! P.T.

I've changed the strings, Elixir strings this time. I really don't want to have to change strings every friggin 2 weeks. Not too pricey either, if they last as long as they're supposed to. P.T.

Portugal is one team i really hate. They're a bunch of divers, especially that wimp Cristiano Ronaldo. I just hate portugal, with a passion. The only players in there i don't hate are probably Ricardo and Deco (and he isn't actually Portuguese either) P.T.

The lower three strings have rusted again (the thinner ones). So based on the date i last changed the strings, that's slightly more than 2 weeks. Is this too quick? I've made absolutely sure that i cleaned the strings after every time i play it. P.T.

Holy crap, Tolak, that sounds scary. How'd they get out in the first place? P.T.

I'm already there, i'm shadow on that board :D C'mon, we need more guys. Join up! P.T.

Where you from? And on the topic of eyeballs...ugh. Some people here consider eyeballs as a delicacy. Not me! P.T.

Sounds pretty cool, i'm a naruto fan too. But i really have no idea what a RP is and i dont know how to do anything, lol. Elaborate, perhaps? P.T.

I'm probably breaking the sig rules too. And SirMinion, i love your avatar heading :D P.T.

I've personally never saved a fish once it lost its ability to swim totally. I doubt anyone has either. Sorry, but the outlook is really poor. I might recommend euthenising it before it spreads the disease to others, for example if it dies and the others pick at it before you discard the...

As mentioned, guppies were once the staple of the beginner's stocklist, but they have been so inbred that they are now weak and disease prone. I personally don't bother much for them any longer. That said, if the guppy died without any prior symptoms, in points to a shock of some sort, pH...

Ctenopoma are the climbing perches, native to the African and South East Asian regions, if i'm not mistaken. The are very interesting fish to keep, i had one in the past, which unfortunately became a snack for my slant-nosed gar that i underestimated :X The most common with be ctenopoma...

Hmm, so which guitar has a "slow" neck then? And what's action? Sorry, i'm really not knowledgable with guitars, yet anyway :D . At this rate, i'm gonna know a fair bit pretty soon. P.T.

Haha cool, i'll look around for the stuff mentioned, and i'll ask my dad if he has any WD-40 around the house. BTW, whats a "fast neck" ? And also, in the future, if i change gauge to 10's, do i have to do anything to the neck? P.T.

Does doing this have any adverse effect besides slowing servers down? P.T.

That would go for most cats, lol. Any other pics of him or his twin brother? P.T.

Master of Puppets, by Metallica. P.T.

Hmm ok. I think i'll stick with 9's, they're comfortable and i'm used to it, though of course i may experiment with other gauges in the future. I play it pretty much everyday for an hour at least, usually more, and it rusted real quick actually. About a month or so. But i'm not sure if i can...

Ash, is there much of a difference between the 9's and 10's? I've just changed mine, but i stuck to 9's, D'Addario EXL120s P.T.

I use firefox cause of the features available, the safer plugins, etc. Overall though, safety. Spyware and pop-ups, especially. Nothing will ever make me switch to IE - unless FF ceases to exist! :P P.T.

I love looking at my fish tanks. Certainly calms me down and helps me relax :D P.T.

Yep, it won't live long in freshwater. Not to mention the fact that they prefer more of their own kind to hang around with too. P.T.

Lost count, i have. P.T.

Filling it with live rock would virtually make it a sump, no? P.T.

Rooney didn't actually do much himself, but you could feel that the morale of the team was given a boost for a bit. For about 10 minutes after he came on, England played a lot better. Aaron Lennon has super pace and dribbling, but i agree that his crossing definitely needs a lot of work As for...

If you have multiple tanks and you have a tank that has some kind of affliction, then as a precaution you might want to sterilise it. But i personally don't, have not found it necessary. P.T.

Cute! :wub: Has anyone else wondered why young offspring always look cuter then their fully grown counterparts? P.T.

Not the most convincing of victories. But you could see that Lennon and Rooney made a significant impact after coming on. The midfield had more penetration, more pace, and a lot more purpose. Lamps did pretty poorly, hatful of chances missed. Super goal by Gerrard though. P.T.

Yep, polypterus senegalus is the smallest and hardiest of the bichirs, to my knowledge at least. Very hardy fishes, they'll thrive in almost any conditions bar extremes. P.T.

Mark, if you never start , you'll never get experience right? So if nothing else, this will be an experience for the younger members of the staff, and probably even the older ones as well. Everyone has to start somewhere :) P.T.

The TFF Newsletter is still very new, and remains under construction for the moment. Any dreams of this becoming a magazine remains far-fetched to say the least, so i can certainly see where mark and keane are coming from. That said, a little optimism and drive wouldn't hurt, now, would it...

I'm thinking pH shock here. P.T.

Sweeeeeeeeet. Now i'm gonna have to come over and rob you some day. The 39' New Yorker looks pretty interesting. One of the first electrics? Btw, sounds like your wife loves your guitars too :D P.T.

Yeah, looks a lil bit like it's dyed. Look's pretty cool for a platy though. P.T.

Haha, i agree demonmagus. I thought it was two separate pics too :lol: P.T.

I love that third piccy :D P.T.
