With out mentioning any names, a local radio anouncer a couple of months back on his breakfastfast show said "hey kids if you want to see you parents fish do some silly things, put a little Gin or something in the tank". My daughter 11 thinking of this radio anouncer as some what of an icon of the community did just that and guess what, my fish died, dont know if it would have damaged or contaminated my filers etc. I called the radio station and spoke to the general manager, he said he'd try and sort something out!!!! A few weeks laterI get a message on my mobile from a "current affairs type program, asking if I wanted to take the mater to air!. I know it would have been a major fight, trying to make out I was an irrsponsible part by allowing my daughter access to the Gin in the first place. I worked for Family services fopr near 15 years before being retired, so rather than have a major issue, I dropped it, a few local aquariums have tried to help me out, but the first few fish donated to me or heavily discounts, died, so basically set up the tanks from scratch, things are living now, nearly had one brood of red jewels, but they whetre young parents and the convicts ate all the eggs!

I'm happy to return any favours in computer repairs etc, for aquaria items.

Please PM me with any offers. thanks!


By the way we dont listen to that radio station any more!!!!
Thanks for listening
