Seven sixteenths of one inch:
That's the distance you'd have to move your pinky in order to not sound like an idiot
Chances are its the rummys, there is no way to tell how many eggs got moved and were, and all fish look the same at that size

What's with that harsh comment opcn? Maybe this person prefers to use caps lock (yeah, I don't like it either). I highly doubt the member is dense enough to a) not realize caps lock is on and B) where the caps lock button is.
You might have moved something over, sure.
Agree about the rummies.

Hey roxy ...Congrats on the baby 
...Really if you didnt notice any odd behavior or breeding signs than really you wont know until the little guy grows up. Just make sure hes getting some food and he should grow in no time. Im sure that if youve had 1 fry more will follow. HIH a little.
On a side note....we all make mistakes caps lock or not...I dont see the big deal really or how its rude but to each his own.

Standard internet "netiquette" says that typing in all uppercase is the 'net equivalent of shouting.
People that post in all uppercase, or big fonts or coloured fonts or other "cool" ways must expect that some people will try to correct them, whilst most people will simply ignore them.

A thread just for this ocasion
Roxie, the reason I focus so much on your caps is because I find it so rude, I would spend more time with your question if your post weren't in caps

Could it be Platy fry?
I don't think pointing out an idiosyncrasy of someones posting style which is reducing their chances of getting a response to be wrong, although I agree, there is a right way and a wrong way to go about it.
The simple fact is that if someone is looking for help here, or on the vast majority of internet forums, by posting in all caps or other font tricks, "u no wat I meen" text style or any other "funky way", causes the regular net users to ignore them.
Pointing that out can help a newbie to such forums learn the "rules of the net" and get better response to their questions.
