I heard somewhere the Big Brother show was created by the Great Grandson of the engineer who built Londons' sewerage system. Funny how one member of the family devoted his life to removing crap from our houses, and the other to bring it back. :lol:

I love eating fish, but it has to be filited, can't be having all those tiny little bones on my plate. I think that ther is a big difference between the fish we keep and those which are availale as food items. Maybe we could ask any fish keeping farmers if they eat beef pork and lamb. LOL

The Bog wood had already been presoaked in the tank at the LFS, it had one or two snails on it, but I gave the wood a through washing before I put it into my tank.

Hi Folks I have recently purchaced a New AquaStart 500 tank and began its cycle on Friday 30/5/08. My LFS gave me some filter medium from one of its tanks to start things off, and I have purchaced some Bog Wood from another LFS. Looking at the tank this morning the water looks a little cloudier...

Hi Guys Went out and purchaced a couple of mollies yesterday, one white and one black lyer tail. The black one is doing fine, but I am a little concerned about the other one. he spends most of his time almost breaking the surface of the water, hiding at the back of the tank. can anyone tell me...

Hi Guys Wonder if anyone can help? Just put two mollies in the tank and one of them is hiding behind the heater doing very little, hes been in there for just about two hours now and seems very lathargic. The other one is fine. Do i have a problem with the fish or will it just take time to...

Will various species of Rasbora live in harmony together or do they have to be kept apart, for example could I keep golden rod, espi, ect with Harliquins

Hi Guys, I purchaced some new tank mates for my betta tank today Harliquin Rasboas and Cory Carp. So far all are doing well and ther are no sign of any agression. I only hope that it stays that way. Its just so relaxing to see them interacting with each other.

Ok Guys, Lets not go on about if tis right or not to rescue the fish that these super stores in America keep in small tanks, jars, etc. There should be enough people out there who care about the fish to do somthing about it. There must be animal welfair groups, sections of the media or links on...

The chap at the aquatic store I purcahced the Betta from recomeended the food, to me it looks like a standard tropical flake food, maybe try some live feed?

Hi folks, I got my first betta yesterday and he's looking fine, but I was watching him feeding this morning and he seemed to be spitting a lot of the food he had taken back out again. Is this a normal reaction or do I have problem with my fish.

Hi Smileyface, the Bettas look great, but heres a tip you may like to try. When taking photos close to the tank, place some dark coloured cloth or card behind the tank, it should cut down on the big white flare patches your getting on the picture.

What type of camera are you using Smileyface, it may be worth your while putting some mesh (ie old tights) over the flash gun to diffuse the lighting and black or dark grey card behind the tank. I use mount board as it quite durable. the fish look cool though.

I am just starting out in the fish keeping world, and due to space restrictions I only have a small tank (28l) I would rather keep a small quantity of unusual fish that are suited to this size tank than a larger quantiy of very small fish. Are there any members out there with some ideas of what...
