morning :)

have you been to the Range for plants? they have huge ones ( approx 12inches) for 3,50 and they are really nice too, i know nelly has lots on the surface of his tank for them, so for that price you wouldnt mind breaking them off the holder to float.

tank is looking fab by the way,cant wait to see pics of the babies when they arrive :)

Thanks Sheila, I dont think we have a Range here? Northants is not good for shopping, thank god for ebay lol. I brought a pack of 10 x12" silk plants for £10 yesterday, if they are good quality I will buy another pack to float I think, I found some hanging plants as well 12" with a sucker at the top which look good, so i've ordered one of those to try to.

Thanks Nelly, sounds yummy :blink: lol I have plenty of prawns & live & frozen foods, do you just throw them in or do you feed them with tweezers?
 
wow got to say all the action's here before 9am :blink:
Yes i just through mine in after defrosting it, i use hot water in a cup for about 1min, then change for cold, go for a ciggie, come back, chopp prawn's then feed away, somtime's i finger feed them, sometimes throw it in, it makes us laugh when they try to destroy a peice of prawn, they are evil and yet so small
 
I'm so looking forward to my evil channa babies :hyper: I hope they like their new home.

Cooked or raw prawns?? I can get both from the fishmonger, he saves me prawn heads for the DPs, would the snakeheads like those too? Muscles & cockles?
 
Kari Kari Kari :wub:

Any really cheap plants atm on ebay? Send the item numbers through :good:

I darent go on ebay anymore till I sell some more stock, otherwise we will be eating beans on toast till payday lol. There are some good bargains on silk plants though, worth a look.


have a look here, maybe worth the trip as they sell great stuff at bargain prices ( go with a list tho or if your like me you`ll buy one of everything

Seems I am in the middle of a Range black hole lol, the nearest to me is Nottingham I think, probably a good thing though, I think i'd spend far too much in there.
 
now that would be telling. :blush:

im sure you was my age at one time and this exited with new fishies :blush:
 
its all about experience and i have a feeling kari has lots of that :unsure:

Now thats no way to speak about a lady :p rofl! oh to be a teenager again hehe.

Moving swiftly back to prawn heads! lol They get them every Friday, just a couple, clean them out well & fill with little bits of chopped prawn, the DP's go mad for it & I hope it helps their beaks stay healthy.
