i dont know... with me its just i dont like people touching what i own. Let alone letting people Touch me.

Some people im fine with others It just makes me Creep out xD

Back on topic.

When do we get to see Nemo and Terry (was it?) again?

My tank looks like that quite regularly, esp as both my older ones have a thing for stroking the glass while eating their dinner (their small table is in front of the tank) so as a result we get yogurt, gravy, cheese sauce and all sorts smeared all over the front. Then the cat goes and sits on the table and tries to pounce on the fish through the glass! Its all fun and games! hehe

The lack of bowing on the dividers looks much better!

lol i know. i was meaning to do it for ages, but was worried about jumpers.

if they try they'll bump the lights

i have cat paw prints everywhere too, they wipe their feet as they jump down!

 

[Knox213]

Cats = Problem

Get a small dog. that'll sort the cats out

 

[Haych]

i had a dog - he was a bigger issue, not again thanks!

the tank looks great haych! my boys are always touching the tank too. it is never clean anymore. as soon as i wipe it they come behind me to look at the fish!

I keep having to check for scratches - one of my cats scrabbles at the front of the tank trying to get to my hoplos and my loach. The fish couldn't care less (in fact I think they deliberately swim up and down the front just to wind her up!!), but I'm just glad glass doesn't give in very easily else I'd have a very leaky tank lol

oh yeah they all scrabble at the glass on mine after the cories, which are now jumpy lol

anyways.. pics time

I got my IAL through the post today, cost me a whopping £5.50 for 25

I have put half a leaf in Nemo's, Terry's and Flea's sections.

Little Flea also has some Forggbitt, which when I put in, a baby fish swam out! it survived on damp kitchen roll for at least 3 days! Flea is such a sweetie she is the first to the front to say hi, and she has grown! (my camera can now focus on her without having to use manual)

Pics of Flea:

Nemo: I added a bouncy ball on the other half's "it'll float policy" and it sunk, but Nemo is happy to investigate

Nemo has shown no interest in his leaf AT ALL, but on the other hand, Terry adores his - he has even started a bubble nest

I am so chuffed, he has acyually made a bad day a good day! I was really worried about him this morning, he was just lting sulking in the back on the floor, he came up to say hi, had breakfast and went back again. I put the IAL in (came today in the post) had lunch, looked in and I have a nest

If Nemo goes to where his leaf and nest is, Terry goes nuts, he flares and attacks the divider to protect it! Even snails get thrown away from his nest! He's been at it for at least 2 hours bless him.

me trying to reduce the flash (burnt my hand )

Sorry for some blurry pics, I was trying to get a pic of them without the flash, and if they moved it blurred.

what baby fish came off of what !?!

and good to see there in good health

 

[soph_betta]

awww they all looky sooo good!! Congrats!!

 

[Haych]

i'm not sure what the baby was/is, i had remove him and put him in my community tank, probably fish food by now

everyones a little upset as i got my girl sorority

will add pics later on

 

[Haych]

i have girlies

thanks to Liam who needed to rehome them, i was able to take in seven girls.

I got some pics but they like to hide, so theyre hard to get!

In the bag acclimatising:

poor terry is sulking, i thought i would put Nemo and Terry either side of the tank, so Terry needed moving, and he is really papping, he has had a couple of flares at the girls, making her swim off with stress stripes bless her.

Flea is now in the very far right compartment til i can get her tank set up, Terry is in the second to right, girls centre, Nemo in the second left. Nemo is also papping as Terry has gone!
